I have a question for this game, does the time travel get paradoxical and/or convenient for the protagonist in this game? I'm looking for a good use of this plot point in narrative without it doing whatever the heck Chrono Trigger was attempting xd

@Blowing_Wind:

There is one notable paradox, yes, but it’s pretty inconsequential to the plot and the way it’s presented seems like kind of a wink from the writers.

I’m not sure what you mean by “convenient for the protagonist”… the time travel is mechanically different from Chrono Trigger. Spoilers for Ocarina of Time below. Regardless if you’ve never played it I would strongly recommend it if for no other reason than to see the game that basically every third person action game is copying :)

At the beginning of the game you start off as a kid. At a certain point you travel to future, where you appear as an adult, as though you were just hibernating or something. Eventually you can travel back and forth, but in the past you’re always a kid and in the future you’re always grown. So it’s more like a Quantum Leap situation where your consciousness is moving into different bodies.

Aaaahhh thanks for the clarification. Chrono Trigger has the protagonist solve things like the reason they became interested in the occupation they had in the present, while still keeping the characther trait and the person they did it for unscathed, or the game allowing the killing of the main protagonist but having the posibility of bringing him back: the time travel eliminates the consequences of everything

I think I may try Ocarina of Time soon 😂
