In any fictional work where time travel is involved, it always makes sense from the point of view of the main character. It does not always makes sense from a strictly historical/chronological point of view, though.

In other words, how does Labrynna look from the point of view of all characters who do not travel in time?

Criteria

  • Any time in the past and in the future is the Present sooner or later. There is no privileged point of view along the timeline.
  • For the statement above, "alteration of the past" is the same as "alteration of the present", and the latter is obviosuly nonsense. Therefore, an "alteration of the past" is just a plot flaw.
  • Let us give priority to what is said and shown in the games; use pure logic, not physics; never fully trust any manual.
  • Try and avoid retroactive corrections to continuity as much as possible.

History of Labrynna

Biography of the Maku Tree

  • The Maku Tree is born
  • Ambi becomes queen of Labrynna
  • At this point, two facts do and do not happen at the same time; continuity splits in three:
Veran and Link
DO NOT
arrive from the future
(FALSE)
. Veran DOES
but Link DOES NOT
arrive from the future
(FALSE)
. Both Veran and Link
DO
arrive from the future
(TRUE)
During Ambi's age:
  • The Maku Tree grows happily.
During Ambi's age:
  • Veran has the Maku Tree killed.
During Ambi's age:
  • Veran tries to kill the Maku Tree.
  • Link saves the Maku Tree.
  • For 400 years the Maku Tree keeps growing
  • For 400 years Veran rules Labrynna.
  • The Maku Tree is dead.
  • For 400 years the Maku Tree keeps growing
During Zelda's age:
  • The Maku Tree is alive and well.
  • Veran abducts Naryu and uses her to leave this continuity
    (i.e. she moves up, to the other column of this table).
  • Link follows Veran and uses a Time Portal to leave this continuity
    (i.e. he moves up, to the other column of this table).
During Zelda's age:
  • The Maku Tree is dead since 400 years.
  • Veran abducts Naryu and uses her to travel back in time
    (i.e. she moves up, in the same column of this table).
  • Link uses a Time Portal to leave this continuity
    (i.e. he moves up, to the other column of this table).
During Zelda's age:
  • The Maku Tree disappears because of something that DID NOT HAPPEN along this continuity,
    then she reappears shortly after.
  • Veran abducts Naryu and uses her to travel back in time
    (i.e. she moves up, in the same column of this table).
  • Link uses a Time Portal to travel back in time
    (i.e. she moves up, in the same column of this table).
Conclusion:
  • Veran left this continuity for good.
  • There are no threats anymore along this continuity.
  • Link, too, left this continuity for good
    (TROUBLE-SEEKER!!!).
Conclusion:
  • The Maku Tree died centuries ago.
  • Veran won.
  • Link left this continuity for good
    (COWARD!!!).
Conclusion:
  • The Maku Tree has been alive and well for 400 years, then disappears for no reason, then reappears.
  • Veran is here, but she will lose.
  • Link fights Veran, and he will eventually win
    (HERO!!!)
