There couldn't be a new "true" Zelda because technically, she's still alive up in the North Palace. That's why Impa flips her shit when Link shows her his crest.
    Interesting. I've never thought of it like that, but I suppose you're right.

    Just to clear things up, Zelda of the original game inherited the Triforce of Wisdom as all the wiser Hyrulean nobility did, though simply could not wield its power. Although if you look hard enough there *may* be others, those who can wield it would typically be Link, Ganon, and the real Zelda. Ganon has had difficulty in claiming the full Triforce as it seperates in his hands in Ocarina, but he can still gather up the rest of it.

    For reasons related to Skyward Sword though, Hyrule desperately needed its true Zelda back, as well as possibly the reassembled Triforce.


    However, up until the backstory of Zelda II, yes Hyrule was actually doing very very well. When A Link Between Worlds rolls out, we'll see how bad things get with it.

    Just think of Hyrule exactly like one might think about Balboa or some other explorer planting flags on "Newly Discovered" territory, digitally, and fan fictionally, and there you have it.
    I remember an "Official" Nintendo of America magazine describing this phenomena as "He's not really the same person as the other game(s), Link (the Hero of Time, now) isn't the same Link as previous games.
    This part would be speculation, but I believe it'd be a safe thing to say to state that the same goes for Hylia itself.

    No, they're not the same. But each one has that same connection.
