No, LoS is better off separate, current timeline is too confusing.

The stories are all really vague anyway. You could probably place Legends anywhere, going by its manual story. Even after CVIII. F-From what I've read anyway. I think there are only implications of progression with Christopher to Simon anyway. CVIII just seems to be the most appropriate because it gives us all that backstory and setting like it's actually significant.

Alright, that doesn't matter since that was going to be my next point about Castlevania III and Legends anyway.  :)   

This isn't the end.  I'm going to get you. : x

I'm not saying the game is not condradictive now, but back in the day before the timeline so only had the information presented in the games. And going by that information, the game never condradicted with anything.

I believe Rondo specified some dates and ages that don't match up with Legends. So I suppose no matter which way you look at it...

Vaaaaaaguely had some dates.  And by 'vaguely' I mean 'you'd have to be Japanese and find the PCEngine manual and even then, even in Japan, people write sillyness on manuals" and such.

You mean the "Dracula is 800 years" thing, right? Well you could also look at it this way: Legends itself never specified any dates so you could pretty much let it take place it 100 years before Castlevania III. Symphony never made a problem out of Dracula being already a 400 year old vampire before he became evil so that's no big deal.

The thing is, LoS story is not finished so we can't say it's best or worse than LoI origin story; i liked LoI story (nbot delivery though) very interesting and kinda romantic, also very direct it didn't have a prophecy behind or something, the man was just pissed of, LoS could become an interesting story, or a trainwreck, let's wait and see
