So a theory i have had for some time is the 2 dark souls sequels are canon depending on the choice you make at the end of dark souls 1, with ds2 being if you start the fire linking cycle and ds3 being if you set the world down the dark path. In ds2 the game clearly takes place a huge amount of time in the future stating that kingdoms have risen and fallen countless times and the flame has being sucessfuly linked over and over while and ds3 the game takes a much darker tone as if the flame is not being linked nearly as often and almost neglected to the point that its only been linked 5 times total. Also in ds2 the world seems to have a better understanding of souls the fire and the curse in general over ds3, there is alot more to thes that i have but im not sure how long i can make these post so once i finish the full writen theory ill link it here, but if anyone has any questions of holes to poke please feel free so i can try to back this up or even drop it if there are too many issues
