the LEGEND of zelda

[Samus Aran]

what i don't get is that apparently bowser was literally killed at some point because in luigi's mansion he was "revived" as a sort of doppelganger by king boo

mario kills him every time he's a final boss

zelda sent link back in time

he's physically gone from that timeline where ganon has been defeated

why

[Samus Aran]

Wasn't it just a suit?

maybe but madame clairvoya says something like "i thought bowser had been swiftly defeated by mario!" and was surprised to see bowser in a vision. to me that always struck me as saying that bowser was supposedly defeated permanently. as in with death. but maybe not. it's vague.

why

what do you mean why? it goes without saying. the game itself tells you that link was sent back to his original timeline, when he was a child. even without all this nonsense, that much was already obvious.

[Samus Aran]

I took it as that until I found out he was a suit.

even if it was a suit, that doesn't mean bowser wasn't dead. and nothing in the game mentioned a suit.

zelda went back in time to feed metroid's pregnant mother meat when he found out that he (metroid) was a girl

But where did the child link go in that timeline if he was sent back to it?

Does he die as a teenager ;__;

Clearly some things in the past affect the future timeline like the well being drained (or Saria being a sage as can be seen by her still being in the end credits) so I don't see how Link living a normal childhood would prevent him from existing as an adult in that same timeline.  It's not really "time travel" when he turns to an adult but rather being sealed away for 7 years so he always ages in that timeline.  The time travel portion is more when he goes back in time.

Right, the time travel portion is when he goes back in time. Like he does at the end of the game. Link disappears from the future, going back to where he belongs. The "present," as a child.

Child link, in his rightful timeline, inadvertently goes to Termina when trying to find Navi. What happens after that? Just look it up in the timeline thing.

[Samus Aran]

When you fought him as bowser, doesn't he come out of a suit after hitting him with the balls a few times?

Considering it's King Boo, who has basically magical powers, and is himself undead, I don't think it's exactly farfetched to say that it might not be a suit, and might literally be Bowser back from the dead. Just because King Boo is inside it doesn't mean it's a suit. It moves on its own while King Boo is outside of it, after all. The head floats around and shit. It might be the ghost of Bowser. It might just be an imitation of Bowser. It might be a suit. But it isn't definitely a suit.

Either way that still doesn't change that Madame Clairvoya makes it sound like the real Bowser is dead.

Spirit of Bowser with Kingboo inside.

for some reason this strange use and lack of caps made me lol
