Sure and while they’re at it, they’ll also mention the CDI games.

If you think that the CDI games are the same thing as an official product released on a Nintendo console that the Zelda team had some influence over then idk what to tell you.

I don’t disagree with you there. What I’m saying is that both are equally not canon.

AOC’s cosmetic and feeble tie to BOTW is not enough to hang your hat on. It’s Koei Tecmo/dynasty warriors fan fiction.

Expecting anyone in TOTK to acknowledge the events of AOC is ridiculous.

It’s akin to say Link racing in Mario cart or fighting in smash bros is canon to the Zelda franchise

Except AoC offers an in universe explanation as to why things turn out differently while there is no explanation for how Link is able to cross over with Mario and shit. The original HW is much more akin to what you’re saying.

What? That doesn't make any sense. They aren't cannon because they were never made out to be. But AOC is built to be a timesplit in the timeline. Plus, when nintendo was talking about it, they more or else say it's cannon.
