I... actually never even considered that. I guess I could just go the Metroid route and take all your power ups away at the beginning of each adventure, but that doesn't really sound too fun. I could also increase the base strength of everything at the beginning of the next adventure, but that comes with it's own complications... hmm... I'll have to think on it. Fortunately, getting through Hyrule the first time will likely take long enough to give me time to figure it out, even with my plans to streamline it.

You could do more of a world's collide type deal, assembling your own plot from the natural consequences of a thousand game worlds smashing together but I suppose it depends on how much work you want to put into writing a complex narrative.
