[QUOTE="Gary_Jinfield"]At the end of the day, soldiers are still humans and thus may susceptible to basic emotions. (Especially in the face of the supernatural) however, the ideal of running away to live another day may indeed apply here to a certain extent. It should be also mentioned that an ineffective and inept military is a rather common device in entertainment, forcing the need for a hero.MaceKhan
I was looking more at the story side of things than the storytelling side of things. And yes I see your point, but remember in Telma's bar when her and Ilia needed help to get to Kakariko? As soon as the soldiers heard how dangerous it was they ran away.


Yet, if the soldiers had gone with Telma and company, Link wouldn't have been able to act the hero and thus, the plot wouldn't have developed. Nintendo's approach focuses on gameplay and other such factors first, often building a story around said factors afterwards. (Midna's initial reason for existence was to ensure a more unique character, instead of simply looking at a wolf)

More than anything else though, the scene was likely meant to function as comic relief, although there is merit in your originally statement. Logically, all the brave soldiers would be gone, (having been vanquished by Zant's forces) leaving only those less inclined to such a trait. However, it seems unlikely that Nintendo had such an ideal in mind when creating the game, although it may be a possibility.

[QUOTE="NWA_31"]I personally believe that every Zelda game is simply another story, with no real timeline with the exception of LOZ-AOL, OOT-MM, OOA-OOS, WW-PHlebanese_boy

There is an actual timeline as confirmed by both Miyamoto and Aonuma, it's just that there's no official one. But all the games are deffinitaly linked.

Yeah they said that, but its seems more likely that Nintendo is making it up as it goes along.:P

However, newer Zelda games have appeared to be developed with an over all time line in mind, at least in comparison to previous titles.

"The pamphlet of First Life contains 93 lies and 7 truths. The truths don't provide any answers."

"You and I, we're both sick! the only time we feel alive is when we put our lives on the line. It's a sad reality, but we people are never satisfied. We'll always seek a higher rush! The history of the United States rests within the walls of this institution; it's an old tradition that continued since the first presidential election! I want you to see it through to the end. And by the way, women are all the same!"

"Harman, the world doesn't change. All it does is turn. Now, let's dance."

"Tricks are for kids, Kun. I'm an old man."

"Sorry pal, but this is the moment I've been waiting for. I have to do this or the anger inside, will not go away."

"I feel my blood rushing through my body. Yes, this is it, the feeling, it's coming back to me! The sensation of killing! The doom and darkness... The dark streets, they're calling me. Calling me to the ultimate ring!"

"Okay. I'll just set them on fire. Piece of cake."

[QUOTE="Jbul"]

What he's saying is... since Mario Galaxy has the same % rating as Zelda OoT, that Gamerankings had to break the ratings down into .000 % to seperate the games.

He's suggesting they did it because they want to keep Zelda at #1.

I say they're doing it because the race is so close, they want to show who is genuinely #1.

Pretty simple, really.

snakeofsolid

maybe, but if this was between say #12 and #13, the higher one would just to the one with more reviews.

Perhaps, but this is for the number 1 position. Simply having a few more reviews won't cut it.
