Zelda Chronological Timeline

To throw another theory out there,it's possible that the entire franchise is as the title suggests; it's a legend.It's the same core story being retold over and over,changed and altered as time passes.There may not be an actual timeline with this theory.VGobbsesser

no, each game is a little part of the entire legend of zelda.

i guess your theory possible, but i seriously doubt it

Every legend is different.

There is no time line.

the 3-D games follow a timeline. beyond that, there are many different theories.

end of story. the end. bye-bye!-Shrek,Shrek

Every legend is different.

There is no time line.

so youre saying that none of them have anything to do with eachother? if thats what you think then i doubt youve played more than 1 of the games...

You know what I have a full timeline that I will blog once I get access to Four Swords/Four Swords Adventures.

I'm really serious I have everything tied in together (of course not including CD-i) but I'm really close I will post someday on GS. So far everything that I have ties in, and ties in WELL.

1. Ocarina of time came first,
2. then oracle of ages/seasons,
3. then Majoras mask,
4. then a link to the past,
5. then four swords,
6. then minish cap,
7. then Legend of Zelda 1 and 2,
8. then wind waker,
9. then Phantom hourglass,
10. then Twilight princess.

Thats what I think...

Im not including the Cd-i games.:lol:

11. then Links crossbow training.:lol:

It's already been stated that Ocarina of Time had a split timeline. Majora's Mask Link is the same one from OoT.

TP takes place on one side of the timeline, and WW is on the other. Phantom Hourlglass is the sequel to WW.

Definitely a timeline story no question about it.

I'm not going to anymore detail but I do have it all pretty well figured out, and in-depth detail.

I don't think there's a right or wrong answer. Nintendo just wants you to believe whatever you want to believe.king23_

Well, there are some things that can be said for sure and firmly cemented down, based on internal logic and what Nintendo has said. There are other things we can say with confidence (i.e. game X and game Y must come after game Z) but can't cement down (i.e. does game X come before or after game Y?) Then there are things that are entirely unknown - probably to Nintendo too. :P

Frankly, for something with so little emphasis on story, way too much ado has been made over it.

here is what I think

Beginning of timeline: ocarina of time

Middle: a lot of zelda games

End of timeline: wind waker?

I don't even understand the Ganon Ganondorf thing at alllink027
