| − | In the wake of recent [[Timeline_Quotes#On Twilight Princess|developer confirmations]] regarding the [[Timeline_Glossary#Split Timeline|Split Timeline]], theorists have branched out in a number of different directions. Though a number of splitists had predicted the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' placement, and were thus able to retain their traditional theories, both former linearists and splitists with alternate TP placements were required to change their theories to fit with what is now accepted as fact. |

| − | One thing that remains to be seen is how the ALttP background story of the Knights of Hyrule fits and perhaps even bridges the timelines, or creates it's own timeline where Link from OoT was never separated from his mother and always knew he was a Hylian. The absence of the Knights of Hyrule from OoT creates a disconnect between the Imprisoning War that Sahasrahla mentions in ALttP and what many theorize to be the actual war in OoT. A solution to this would be for Nintendo to create a game where the player controls the surviving member of the Knights of Hyrule during the war that took place when the seal was created. The knight would have been alive 3-4 generations before the Link in ALttp and would have been his great (great) grandfather. Sahasrahla mentions that the Knights of Hyrule not only protected the Hylian royalty but also the Pendant of Courage. None of the 3 Pendants of Virtue were seen in OoT, creating yet another reason to make such a game that could document the introduction of the Pendants and actually display the role of the Knights of Hyrule. |

||
| − | *TWW's ending, and the new Hyrule of ST, indicate that no games that take place in the original Hyrule will occur after TWW, due to its destruction. This conflicts with the fact that ALttP's Hyrule is extremely similar in history, geography/landmarks and many other features, to OoT's Hyrule. This includes the Master Sword lost at the bottom of the ocean, and the Sacred Realm (and Triforce) that was linked to the old Hyrule. |

| − | *Sometime between the OoT and TWW, a group of Zora moved to Dragon Roost Island and evolved into the Rito and all other Zora presumably went extinct, thus no game following TWW should contain Zora. |

Template:Character Mutoh is a recurring characters in the Legend of Zelda series. He is the stubborn and short-tempered leader of a group of carpenters. Mutoh is often found with his arms crossed and scoffing.
Appearances
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, during Link's childhood, the Carpenters' Boss (unnamed) and his carpenters are working on building up Kakariko Village on the orders of Impa, who hopes the village will someday be a "true city".[1] Kakariko's other residents of the village include the Boss's daughter the Cucco Lady[2] (sometimes known as Anju) and son Grog, a defeatist outcast. The carpenters' leader is ashamed of his son for "sitting around all day".[3] Grog returns the compliment by calling his father "disgusting".[4] The carpenter's leader may also be married to Granny, who owns one of the potion shops.[5]
Seven years later, the Boss and his carpenters have set up a tent in Gerudo Valley in order to restore the bridge that the Gerudo thieves have destroyed to ward off intruders.[6] However, the carpenters' leader is the only one remaining, as his employees have all abandoned him to join the Gerudo thieves.[7] The female bandits reject the lazy carpenters, instead holding them prisoner in separate cells throughout their fortress. Link frees them all, and after a scolding from their leader, the carpenters rebuild the bridge in Gerudo Valley.[8]
The carpenters' leader also holds a place in the trading sequence. After giving him the Poacher's Saw that his son left behind in the Lost Woods, he gives Link his Broken Goron Sword.
Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, Mutoh is the head of the Clock Town Carnival Committee of in charge of constructing the fireworks-viewing tower for the Carnival of Time. During the first days, Mutoh is in the mayor's office, arguing with Captain Viscen about whether or not to flee the town in the wake of the impending moon. Link can use the Couple's Mask obtained from Anju and Kafei to stop the argument.
Most of the time, Mutoh maintains watch over the building of the tower, while the other carpenters are working on supplies and construction. At night of the final day, he stands at the foot of the completed tower (the other carpenters have abandoned him and the town) yelling at the moon, "If you're gonna fall, then what's stoppin' ya, you monster?!"[9]
He indicates that he has some sons who have already fled the town.[citation needed] He also wonders about the location of his wife (whether she has fled or gone missing is undetermined)[10] and dislikes Kafei for going missing and compares him to his sons.[citation needed]
Oracle of Ages

Trivia
The name of the head carpenter, Mutoh, is shared by the king of the ancient Cobble kingdom, King Mutoh, in Phantom Hourglass.
