They are. It's called a Retcon. A lot has changed since 1992.

Sorry, but everything in the games says very cleary that the magical sword and silver arrows did not exist in the time of OoT, WW, etc.

Because they were the master sword and light arrows. Note how Silver arrows disappeared from the games entirely after 1992, and the magic sword after 1988.

Notice how the game made after 1989 made sure you knew the Master Sword was asleep during the time of LoZ and AoL. Notice how all the games after 1992 take place before that games timeline. They're new weapons, it is simply impossible for them to be the same.

Note how the idea of the master sword was far from fully wvolved in 1992, and that Zelda.com says they're the same sword.

Zelda.com is superceded by the actual canon source, you know, the games? Unless an actual creator says it the games are right and you, unfortunately, aren't.

Can you prove any of this? No. The silver arrows are a throw back to the early Zelda games when Christian themes were still present.

As for the magic sword: Zelda.com says it's the master sword.

Zelda.com gives no canon proof on that. I'd like an official Japanese source.

- HoT has the superior Mirror Shield

LttP's Mirror Shield reflects lasers, spears, arrows, and fireballs.

The only special about OoT's mirror shield is that it can absorb heat and cold to release as beams.

Scream, people would take you more seriously if you'd concede like a gentleman rather than throwing a tantrum.

Lol? K. Pretend I threw a tantrum while throwing your own.

Retcon.

No, the series is quite clear that they're just different items. Sorry sport. 🙁

Retcon.

I'm sure you believe Link's shield still bears a cross?

It was a shield? I saw pics once. Thought it was a bible.

Well personally, I think that the timeline theory is BS anyway....
But, given the two choices here, I would definitely say that the Silver Arrows have been retconned.

If you really want to get technical, the LoZ cartoon series is based of of the original NES LoZ games. At that time, there was no Triforce of Courage, Master Sword, etc. All of that has been retconned.

Sorry Scream, they're still not the same item. Go play a Zelda game.

After seeing WW and TP, I'd agree that the Silver Arrows are the Light Arrows. But they were weak in OoT.

Silver arrows = Light arrow.

/end of.

They actually weren't weak in OoT, what they did wasn't just stunning Ganon, they took him out of the air entirely. Something his own power couldn't do.
WW has a cutscene showing them being awesome, TP they actually aren't as important in, oddly.

But yeah. I think we all agree. 🙂

If the light arrows were silver arrows, they'd have called them silver arrows and they would have killed the weaker OoT Ganon. /thread. 🙂
