"Could be a little of both Column A and Column B. Different time periods of Earths that made different choices," Alastor mused. "For example, some of these Earths use steam- or magic-powered technology. My Earth also used steam quite extensively for a time but has long since moved on to internal combustion though they're experimenting with other sources of power. Yet both worlds have some sort of automobile equivalent despite that version of Earth having never discovered internal combustion."

Zelda had lived in Songerein long enough to know that the way Alastor (and many other people) used the world 'automobile' did not line up with how she used it. He referred to a specific type of automotive object, something rather like a horseless wagon or carriage, while she understood the word to mean any manner of mechanical object capable of self-movement. Much of Hyrule's ancient technology, both those of Sheikah and Zonai origin, were auto-motive.

But that linguistic curiosity was neither here nor there. Zelda's attention was caught by something else.

"Your 'version of Earth?'" she repeated. "Then, it is true—not all Earths are one in the same."
