"Did you get all that?"
ok look, this has been scratching my brain the past few days and i had to let it out, fair warning though it's not THAT shocking it just fascinates me and i was going insane as the damn linebeck stan i am
midway through this blog i just checked the zelda wiki and hyrule historia again and found out 100 years passed since then, so just a small warning this is all BEFORE i found out about the 100 year gap between the games, and theory's rather going with the more "logical" 70-80 years
This is basically related to Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, and specifically Linebeck himself. Based on some rambles of mine one random night at 4 am, with no prior research but facts from Hyrule Historia, and autism.
In Spirit Tracks, you come across Linebeck III, who looks very similar to Linebeck himself from Phantom Hourglass. He gives you a letter from his grandpa, which is signed "Linebeck Senior". Initially I thought; "Is his grandpa Linebeck's father? Is Linebeck this guy's dad, then?" But turns out I was wrong.
I was reading Hyrule Historia the other day (i have the french version, hence the french screenshot underneath) and it says that Linebeck III is not only Linebeck's descendant as mentioned in-game but also his grandson. Therefore, Linebeck Senior is in fact the guy we all know (and love) from Phantom Hourglass.
don't worry, i got you covered, put a translation at the top as well
But then I was confused. I asked myself; "Wait, how did Linebeck ALREADY have a grandson???"
Putting Linebeck aside, if we pay close attention to Niko, the silly hehe pirate from Tetra's crew who appeared since Wind Waker, we notice that he's aged up, from possibly a child/teen to a grandpa. I'd like to pretend Niko's around 14-15 during TWW and PH.
So if we think about it, a lot of time has passed since the events of Phantom Hourglass, let's say 70-80 years. we love you grandpa niko
Anyway, going back to Linebeck, let's say he's in his 40s, and so is Linebeck III (maybe younger, he seems like it), and if we still say that the average human life expectancy is 80 years, that means Linebeck III is born when his father's the same age, being 30-40 years old.
If we take this same pattern with Linebeck (Senior) and his child (Linebeck II), that means...
Linebeck's a father during the events of Phantom Hourglass???
i'm honestly shook over this fact idk why. it's just so funny to me to think of linebeck as a dad, seeing his personality and the way he acts and so on. i just always see him as some bitchless pathetic stinky garbage man LMAO
With whom did he even have this child? Jolene? Who knows?
Personally, I just think it's funny to think of Jolene's being after Linebeck's ass because of that child he possibly abandoned. But that's not the canon reason why she's after him, that being just pure revenge.
honestly i'd like to think of it like that it's just hilarious like "LINEBECK FOR FUCKS SAKE WHERES THE CHILD SUPPORT"
However, if we delve into the more canon timeline, being ST happening 100 years after PH, that would mean that Linebeck possibly had his child after finding land, by the end of PH. It's either that, or he could just be much older than I thought (like, maybe 60?) and he's already had his child.
and niko's old as fuck and somehow still thriving
wild
thanks for listening to my rambles baibaiii
Inktober day 5.- Map
travel poster + brochure for class — chose the world of the ocean king from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Full disclosure I traced the silhouettes of objects from the game for most of this and then painted over them.
Hello, Linebeck realizing he can't only think at his own a*s
I thought I'd share some old faerie concepts, back before I had a solid idea on how I wanted them to look in the AU. I still draw them like this sometimes, ngl, it's really fun. It's just. hard </3
i have a physical copy of phantom hourglass and it's my second most played zelda game!!! i have 106 hours on it :) i'm pretty sure that this was my first mainline zelda (i have a bad memory... i don't remember what came first: phantom hourglass, zelda i, or battle quest)
as my childhood zelda i can confidently say that i LOVE this game. it was basically my ocarina of time lol
phantom hourglass is criminally underrated. its mechanics are incredible!!! ph has my absolute favorite zelda puzzle, the one where you have to close your ds. peak puzzle design :)
its controls can seem gimmicky at times, but they are actually super fun! phantom hourglass is zelda design at its peak. i personally found the temple of the ocean king super fun!
also it literally has a multiplayer mode!!!!! and it's so fun!!!
the characters are super fun and enjoyable! i love the story a lot and hold it close to my heart. also, no matter what anyone says, the soundtrack is AMAZING.
other pros include the ghost ship, linebeck, general silliness, linebeck, sailing, and linebeck. i would 1000% recommend for anyone who likes wind waker or spirit tracks
all in all. I LOVE THIS GAME!!! cradles it like a baby. phantom hourglass is very precious to me
Phantom Hourglass is a DS only game that may be hard to find in hard copy. Secondhand or emulator may be the easier solution to play it yourself. A written walkthrough is here at ZeldaDungeon.net. The video walkthrough I liked was this one but you can search for others with no commentary as well.
Reblog and add what you love about the game, things you would like to see, or other resources for those who would like to learn more about it! Here are some suggestions to get you started:

That art idea you don't think you'll ever get around to drawing
Story tropes that are perfect but no one seems to include

updates my collection of story shots i've done for the pinned (+3 extras)
So, i made some icons from Link (Phantom Hourglass: manga). I really love the expressions from this Link in specific so it was very funny to do this.
They are free to use!
I feel like people forget that Toon Link is, canonically, the only Link aside from maybe the original NES one to permanently kill Ganondorf.
Like in all of Toon Link's games (at least the ones following Wind Waker) he never fights Ganon again. He kills him once and for all.
This dumbass
I just find that funny
originally an art trade with someone on DA, but i thought i’d share this first ever linebeck drawing i’ve made :)

BIG STREAM ANNOUNCEMENT: next up on the streaming docket is The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, starting Sunday, October 1st at 3PM Central and continuing every Sunday thereafter!
i remember LOVING this game as a kid, but the internet has a much more... polarized outlook on its controls and dungeons. so we'll sail the open seas once more, with intent to answer an important question: is it still as good as i remember, or have i lost patience for the game's unique structure?
at about 20 hours, this is the longest game i've ever comitted to streaming... so i'm more than a little intimidated! i expect it'll be about two months of consistent Sunday streams before we're through. come hang out and we'll explore it together 💖
let's try this again: the next big game on my streaming docket is The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, starting this Sunday October 8th at 3PM Central and continuing every Sunday until we're through! i loved this game's quirks as a kid, but those same quirks often grated on other players – will i still look kindly on the experience as an adult?
additionally, i may have another opportunity to stream before then, likely on Friday evening! but i haven't decided whether it'll be a one-off like F-Zero 99, or the start of a shorter game that's been on my mind... i'll keep y'all posted 💖
