I was told by a friend that all of the Legend of Zelda games take place in different universes. But I read somewhere that the events in Twilight Princess take place in between the events in Wind Waker & Orcarina of Time. Which of these theroys is correct?
Not ALL take place in different universes. However, TP is after Ocarina of Time AND Majoras Mask, and POSSIBLY before WW. In WW Hyrule is flooded, all underwater (remember the dome over Hyrule when you take the portal through the temple of the Gods...).
The best explanation of the most likely Zelda time line is here ag1052
I found this on Wikipedia: "In an interview conducted by Nintendo Dream with Eiji Aonuma in December 2006, it was revealed that there are two parallel universes in the Zelda chronology. The timeline is split at the end of Ocarina of Time, when Link is sent back in time by Princess Zelda to live through his childhood, while the original events of OoT continue on a different path. Once returned to his original time, Link goes to see Zelda again, and the result of this meeting is an alternate future in which the villain Ganondorf is arrested and tried by the ancient sages, who attempt to execute him, but are instead forced to banish him to the Twilight Realm. Twilight Princess then occurs over one hundred years later, after Link's role as a child in the events of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Meanwhile, The Wind Waker occurs in the "adult Link" timeline, hundreds of years after the Hero of Time saved Hyrule in Ocarina of Time, and it is directly followed by Phantom Hourglass" So apparently that link was accurate.
OMG ur all wrong. most of the zelda games are not even connected. they're called the LEGEND of zelda. that means that they are all different versions of the same legend. except, of course, OoT -> MM, and the original to Zelda 2.

If this is true, then a lot of theories in the timeline a few posts above are shattered.

I have to agree with storm trooper. I've never considered them connected at all. Just a retelling of the same story.
Yeah TP and WW are in the same universe but just in split time lines. After teh events of OOT you have a timline for kid link and a timeline for Adult Link.
Gannon was banished to the sacred realm by the seven sages in Adult links time. But when link goes back to the past Gannon is trialed and sent to the twilight realm.
Now This is where the timeline splits. In WW you have Gannon returning from the Sacred Realm, and in TP you have him returning from the twilight realm.
That one theory that gametrailers showed wasn't correct.

yes, and the reason it wasnt correct is because they hadnt played twilight princess yet.

That's right, and people cannot disagree with this because it is official and therefore considered Zelda Canon

Some of them are a retelling of the same legend, but not all of them.
