Trying to clear up confusion from the Zelda News segment about the World of the Ocean King being a different planet than Hyrule.

i commented on the initial video to say i found the idea of a different -planet- non-sensical myself...and i would stick by that. Unless one were to suppose Termina is a completely different planet, and in fact the Dark World and Twilit Realms were different planets...the only reasonable thing to say, i think, is that at best the world of the Ocean King is comparable to them - accessible through a portal, but not completely removed as in another planet. Having said that...Ocarina of Time says...

@Psitisis Hyrule Historia says that it's another "world" and that the same goddesses likely created this "other world" too. So again, maybe it's the same planet, but an alternate reality. The Dark World and Twilight Realms are clearly meant to be other "dimensions" or some such, not separate planets.

that Din, Farore and Nayru created Hyrule. Sure, it would be perhaps silly to read that as Nintendo saying the goddesses created -only- Hyrule...yet we also know other deities have the ability to create lands and realms themselves. In other words, perhaps different deities created different lands next to each other - Termina, Hyrule, etc., etc. One could argue Hylia created Skyloft...so it may all be semantics. But i'm not convinced that there's reason to think the difference is planetary!

Wow, I'll have to go back and play PH again. What a weird plot element.

I suspect that its the Adult Timeline's equivalent to Termina.

I always saw it this way, just from the game itself :)
