It's not a sequel to Tp, but I hear that it may predate Oot, that is just a rumor though. The game's story is completly different from Tp. SPOILER WARNING: The game sets off with Link on an island in the sky called skyloft, Link discovers there is a world beneath him and his island called Hyrule.
Link travels between the 2 worlds with the Skyward Sword. So far, thats all they have said I believe. That is completly different from Tp's story.
It sounds very interesting though and I can't wait for it to come out.
There isn't really a consistent landscape when it comes to Zelda... it changes with each new game.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
