What order do you put the legend of Zelda games in, according to story?

I did watch the Gametrailers video and there theory on the Zelda timeline. I just thought it would be interesting to hear what other people think.

I don't waste my time with ridiculous theories, I just enjoy the games and the individual stories they tell.

I don't try to think too much about the Zelda timeline, but I've seen that Gametrailers video, and thats the one that makes the most sense to me.

i dont really like how he every game is a different legend... except for ocarina of time and majora's mask, those are sequels. but the rest are like... every game link doesnt even know gannondorf even after he kills him in a game before that. :P

Well this is what I have deduced. It does not include the Zelda games in which Ganon is not the main enemy.

Well here it goes

It begins with Ocarina of Time and it finish with Wind Waker. And somewhere in between them is Twilight Princess.

Sorry not to say anymore but it's because I really don't know much about the histories in the older Zelda games :?

i cant stand to go to zelda boards because ppl try to put them in order. whats wrong with having a new link in every game and a whole new adventure? i enjoy it more that way cause its a whole new experience. the only exception is OoT and MM. possibly TWW and PH but i dont know anything about the story of PH and i wanna keep it that way until i buy the game.

There's too many inconsistencies to make a timeline for Zelda.

Gametrailer's quite accurate, but they mix ALttP, Zelda 1 and 2 in a non sense way. And Twilight Princess is set after Ocarina, the child Link ending.

i think it's a different link each time, and a fresh new adventure.

just in the same setting, maybe in a parallel universe

well... here is my condensed version. its not very good though :P

The zeldas for NES original and links adventure are obvious. LTTP starts off the real journey. Then, link awakening happens, after that Oot and majoras mask. but before fourswords i think minish cap occurs, as for seasons and ages i have no clue. after that WW and PH. i have a hunch that TP is after WW though, just my theory, probably flawed beyond reason but w/e.

It's a splitted timeline, Nintendo confirmed it. Therefore TP can't be in the same timeline as WW. And back when Ocarina was released, Miyamoto said it was the first in timeline, though it seems the more recent Minish Cap is set before it.

when did they confirm it? the gametrailers one is pretty good, i just saw it today. well i think TP is related to WW still.

Gametrailers gives date and quote of this confirmation by Aonuma. And TP is obviously set after OoT and MM, as [SPOILERS] it tells how Ganondorf was banned from Hyrule, as child OoT Link warned the King of Hyrule. Then it goes on telling how Ganondorf managed to escape the ban. Therefore TP Link is the grown up OoT/MM Link.
