Well, you shouldn't rely on YouTube for any kind of answer. But, Nintendo of America is just a company, Nintendo of Japan is the real deal. There is a Zelda timeline, it's very confusing and takes hours upon days of research.

But, there is a chronological timeline between every Zelda game, except the three spinoffs for CD-i: Link and the Faces of Evil, Zelda and the Wand of Gamelon, and Zelda's Adventure.

I would take Miyamoto's opinion over NOA's opinion.

Well, we can always make our own timeline.

I'm sure there is an official Zelda timeline, but I usually like to play all the Zelda games in my own order and make up my own timelines.

I don't believe Zelda has a timeline either. I think it's just hype to keep people interested in the series.Raiko101

Hype the series with a timeline? /facepalm

Why people act like "OMG teh timeline!!11!1". There is a connection between many of the games (specially the 3D ones) and Aonuma/Miyamoto are always willing to explain that whenever asked - that's how we know how OoT, MM, WW, TP and PH are related. Some other games have a few hints. Simple as that. It's not like there is a big conspiracy behind it all. Geez...

I always thought it was pretty obvious that Zelda has no timeline. They are always just reimaginings of the same concept. There is some continuality like Zelda 1 & 2, ALTTP and LA, Orcacle games, the biggest one is OOT and MM and then 100 years later Wind Waker (mentions in game that it takes place 100 years after the Hero of Time left on a personal quest which might be Majoras Mask , then Phantom Hourglass, and then Spirit Tracks. So far Twilight Princess is by itself. I don't think those 4 or so timelines connect though. It wouldn't make any sense.

There is a timeline, but it is implied rather than told. There are "true" legends and obscure history in real life that may or may not have happened, but its still a relatively simple task when it comes to putting them in a time frame. So, even if the Legend of Zelda games are deliberatly obscure and mythic, then there still might be a chronology.

There is firm evidence that the games are linked, besides the obvious sequels like Zelda 2, Phantom Hourglass, Majora's Mask, ect. For example, in the prologue to A Link To The Past, it describes very clearly the end of Ocarina of Time. Thats just one example, but there are others.

Whatever Nintendo of America says, Im going to take key developer's in Japan's statements instead. If they say there is a timeline, I dont know why NOA would go against that, especially when its effing obvious anyway.

Someone linked this like yesterday...

I showed the timeline video to my friend, and he thought it was awesome.

Ah, so there ARE connections.

There may not be an official timeline but that doesn't mean they can't make one. If Nintendo got all their Zelda writers together, they could connect their own games easily. There'd probably be a few plot holes created, but if they told us the official timeline for all the games, they'd make everyone a lot happier. Although, the theories are probably more fun.

They are simply references to another game. What you make of them is pure assumption.Raiko101

:|

References that allow the gamer to know what game took place before or after another. So there's a timeline. Period.

Some games just dont have timelines. I dont think Zelda does. Aside from the obivious Windwaker/Phatom Hourglass...da_chub

I think this guy done a good job putting together this timeline and it makes a whole lot of sense too so advise you guys to look into it because its very interesting.
