apparently the answer if you want to limit yourself to v6 in theory is to do the same thing but tarball the temporary file with pax and then read out the modified time in list mode with -o 'listopt=%(mtime=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)T'

if you want to limit yourself to v6 in practice (nobody actually implements listopt), same thing but manually parse the tarball

if you were wondering, apparently the answer is

if test ! -f build/.mtime; then printf '%b' '\n' > build/.mtime; fi; touch -r "$FILE" build/.mtime; TZ=UTC0 diff -u build/.mtime /dev/null | sed '1!d;s/.*\t\([^ ]\) \([^ ]\).*/\1T\2Z/'

(replacing \t with a tab character)

BUT this requires version 7 of POSIX

BUT it should still work in e·g Macintosh even tho they’re not strictly conformant

the only game that you could make an argument that the zelda timeline was relevant for was hyrule warriors

very funny to me that nintendo created the zelda timeline as a marketing stunt for skyward sword and then placed skyward sword at the beginning so the timeline does not even matter
