1- Someone doesn't have the official Zelda Historia. ^.^ Here's a picture of the official timeline and how it diverges after Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask follows a triumphant hero returning to being a child, not the Hero dying in the battle against Ganon.

Technically the cartoon is canon, as it is based on the events of Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: Adventures of Link, which are way down the bottom of the left side.

2- And I was only providing reasons for why I didn't go with the arguably more well known Sonic and Mario games.

3- That was the point. I don't want characters that are similar or going to get along immediately. I want tension and clashing personalities and fighting styles that take time and effort to reconcile. I want this team to feel like chance threw them together in Initiation rather than some divine providence happening to gather together all the shadow-thief-parkour style people and throw them on a team.

4- Megaman is an option, but I know less about Megaman than I do Halo. The same goes for Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

And I want games that have branched out to other media; movies, books, cartoons, manga, etc. Even if it's just one branch that wasn't very successful (like Prince of Persia and it's one movie). I don't have a preference for what type of game they are, but as much as I love Nathan Drake and Garret I don't remember them ever getting made into books or movies or comics. If I'm wrong, though, please let me know.

I'm not counting reboots as branching out into other franchises, by the way, since it's still a video game.

Not really a fan of anthropomorph characters though, or animal mascots, but I can be convinced to use them if I know at least a little bit about the series.
