Zelda Timeline

[Tyeforce]

I still maintain there isn't a timeline and Nintendo is screwing with you all.

Too bad it's been confirmed numerous times. >_>

So they say, they just make it up as they go along man.

They don't completely make it up as they go. They change it as new games are developed. The official timeline has changed drastically through the years, but that's because new games keep coming out so the timeline has to be reworked. I think the confirmed timeline that we have now, though, isn't going to change. That being:

....../--TWW/PH--ST
OoT
......\MM--TP

Now, that right there is set in stone. The placement of the 2D games, however...well, nothing has been confirmed, except for direct sequels. I believe that my timeline is the most logical approach, however.

That's kind of the point I was making, they have to change the time line when the new games come out because they change everything so I think there will never be a set time line till the series is over.

Also, what's with that time line you posted, are you saying there are two separate time lines after OoT?

That's what they used to do, back when there weren't as many games and a new game could drastically change the timeline. But now, games like OoT, TWW, and TP have set the timeline in stone. Well, part of it, anyway.

...

You're telling me you've never heard of the split timeline?!

Nope, but I never thought story was Zelda series strength so I never really cared about the timeline. But that's not a time line, a time line is supposed to to be a linear string of events hence the name timeLINE, can you say you've seen anything else with a time line structured like that.

You obvious have no clue... Have you even played Ocarina of Time?! In the end, Zelda sends Link back in time to relive his childhood. This causes the timeline to split in two; a timeline with Ganon sealed and no Link, and a timeline with a young Link that warns the king of Ganondorf's evil plans. The split timeline has been confirmed numerous times by Miyamoto and Aonuma.

You obvious have no clue... Have you even played Ocarina of Time?! In the end, Zelda sends ]lol, yes I played Ocarina of Time, but like I said I don't really pay attention to the story. Well, your explanation is a fair justification for two separate time lines. I honestly never heard Miyamoto or Aonuma say it was a "split time line" so that's news to me. And to be honest, they changed what they say about the time line I don't even really take anything they say at face value. So, yeah I still stand by what I said, but whatever man, agree to disagree and all that.

Miyamoto and Aonuma have changed their mind about things in the past, but ever since TWW, their comments on the timeline have been consistent.

Alrighty then, you've made some good points, and it is indeed possible they decided to pull the time line into something that works now as opposed to how it used to be, and if they decide to keep it that way, then that's good. One last question though, if the time line you provided is considered canon, then why is it still being debated?

The timeline that I posted isn't confirmed. Only part of it is. That part being:

....../--TWW/PH--ST
OoT
......\MM--TP

That has been confirmed. The placement of LoZ, AoL, ALttP, LA, OoA, OoS, FS, FSA, and TMC haven't been confirmed, however. That's where the speculation lies.

I honestly wish you would've let this thread die, as me and you are the only one who care about the timeline, and if we got into a debate, it'd just be a public debate between two people fit for PM.

But this way I can possibly get more people interested in becoming Zelda theorists. ;D

It's not likely, how many people here would you expect to love the series so much that they'd analyze ever little detail in every game and read every developer interview like us?

 

[John102]

THIS ZELDA TIMELINE SEEMS SO INTERESTING! TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT PLEASE MR. TYE!

I'M GONNA PLAY EVERY ZELDA GAME NOW SO THAT I CAN LOOK IN DEPTH AT IT TO CREATE A TIMELINE MUCH LIKE YOURS!
