The Legend of Zelda series is getting a live-action movie, and the host of the show, MatPat, is excited. However, he also discusses the complicated timeline of the series and how it affects the identity of Link, the protagonist. MatPat argues that the Link from The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker is not a true hero and does not meet the requirements of a hero as defined by the franchise. He bases this on the fact that Wind Waker's Link does not have a connection to the Royal Knights of Hyrule, which is a requirement for being a hero.
MatPat also discusses the curse of Demise, which is the reason why Ganon keeps coming back in the series. However, he points out that in the adult timeline, Ganon does not come back after being defeated by Wind Waker's Link. MatPat believes that this is because Wind Waker's Link is not a true hero and therefore did not trigger the curse.
MatPat concludes that the people of Hyrule need to stop relying on the spirit of the hero to defeat Ganon and instead train someone else to defeat him permanently. He suggests that Zelda could be the one to finally put Ganon to rest, as she is not bound by the curse and is a strong character in her own right.
