You have to admit, walking into Kokiri forest and listening to Saria's Song (or Lost Woods song) made you feel like you were RIGHT there.

This hurts my soul a little. Zelda as a flapper? Ganon as another gangster, with one of those hats? And pinstripes? I... I just... It's just so wrong.

Link as an American soldier, Ganon as Adolf Hitler, Zelda as a European Woman who's homeland has been attacked by Nazi soldiers.

While I agree, I think the most important element is gameplay. Tetris - terrible graphics, no storyline, and an 8-bit sound track, but it was one of the greatest games ever, and sold millions of copies.

Since when was this thread spammy?
Does nobody else have comments on the timeline?

Personally, I do not believe that any Legend of Zelda was created with a timeline in mind. Unless the games say they are related, there is no reason to believe that the games even take place in the same universes as eachother. They don't lend themselves to timelines well simply because the creators of the franchise did not think continuity between games was important.

^Exactly this.
Even the Zelda guys said that there was NO timeline

Yeah, that timeline stuff is just fan made nonsense. If you really have to try to tie the Zeldas together, I think the best way to do that is to think of it as a legend, where it changes each time it's retold (like an oral tradition kind of thing). And even that's a stretch, I just like to think of it that way.

So that's why there are constant references to the other games, right?
And this MUST be why Aonuma said that the Ocarina of Time was the first game in the series chronologically!

Also, Miyamoto <3s timelines.

And I quote:
Yes, Zelda has a timeline. Do some research before you say things.

Maybe they constantly reference other games for the same reason the new Ninja Turtles series references the 1987 series, even though they don't take place in the same canon.
Because some people are fans of the series and find the inside jokes humerous/ nostalgic/ something else...

What you say would probably make sense if Aonuma didn't acknowledge the existence of a timeline in that interview.
And, Miyamoto MADE A TIMELINE which you would have realized if you had read the links.

Believe it or not, I knew about that. However, I refuse to recognize it as the true Zelda timeline. Even with that explanation, there are continuity holes to account for, such as the radical geological transformation of Hyrule from Ocarina to Twilight which occured in a small 100 years. Besides, even if you do believe in the timeline theory, Ocarina of Time is absolutely not the first game in the series.

http://www.zeldawiki.org/Timeline_Quotes#On_Ocarina_of_Time
Miyamoto: Ocarina of Time is the first story, then the original Legend of Zelda, then Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and finally A Link to the Past. It's not very clear where Link's Awakening fits in--it could be anytime after Ocarina of Time.
Hyrule is a magic land which obviously doesn't function the same way as Earth does, so continental drift may function at an incredibly fast rate! Also, giving us a near-clone of the overworld map wouldn't be very fitting for a game now, would it?

Doesn't Link need to open that Pandora's box thing before he can fight monsters in any of the games?

What are you talking about? If you're referring to things such as the Ocarina of Time or the Wind Waker...
No, he doesn't. Of course, I'm probably confused, so feel free to explain what you meant to me.

That statement was said in what, 99?
BEFORE the release of Minish Cap, which doesn't feature the Hero of Time, but the Hero of Man! Also note that he had no hat. He started using the hat when the talking hat that I forgot his name decided to stay on his head. So all is pointing towards Minish Cap being the first, or at least before OoT

I'm pretty sure Miyamoto or Aonuma would've come out and said 'Hey, guys! Minish Cap comes before Ocarina now!' if that was true.

What's the first game if Ocarina of Time isn't than?
Darkslash
Smash Master
Or it wouldn't count due to CAPCOM doing the game. For all we know its not canonical, because Nintendo didn't make it like Oracle of Seasons and Ages. But Minish cap should be first at least, mostly because the Hero of Men(man?) doesn't fit the Hero of time criteria.

Now you're supposing, and even then you got to admit that screwing around with people is funny.
I say minish cap is first

I guess I thought Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was the first in the series.
Incidently, if you want to check on the Zelda game, Nintendo recently obtained a patent involving a complex hint system. I can't remember any details, but a Legend of Zelda game was used as the pictoral examples within the patent.
so unless something else could be meant by "Legend of 00," the patent was most likely for a Zelda game.

First off, I don't remember where I saw it, but it was said that MC wasn't canon because it, unlike the Oracle games, was made by Capcom. I checked Zelda Wiki, and it confirmed my suspicions, from seeing the Capcom logo so many times, that the Oracle games were indeed made by Capcom. Ctrl+F couldn't find "Capcom" on the Minish Cap page either, for what it's worth...
But there's been a lot of debate over whether there's a timeline. Personally, I only needed two games to convince me, though of course, there's much more concrete proof than what worked on me. I played OoT second in my Zelda experience, after LA, which really doesn't count for much in terms of timeline stuff. And years later, when it was ported to the GBA, I played ALttP. In ALttP, they referenced the seven sages. OoT has seven sages. ALttP has a world corrupted by the darkness of Ganon. OoT last left Ganon in his own world, the Sacred Realm. To me, it's as clear as day that these two games are clearly made to go in sequence, though not in the order they were released. I don't need any other proof. There is a clear order that is shown here.
Concerning the timeline itself, I am as convinced of the fact that it is imperfect as that it exists. Something tells me that any ideas they had when they made LoZ and AoL for the NES have evolved dramatically. The fact that they most likely made it up after making at least one or two games suggests, to me at least, that there are bound to be imperfections. Just as the Hyrule map shows inconsistencies from game to game, which I attribute to artistic license, I believe that, while the games are made to all fit together into one grand storyline, there are going to be at least minor issues.

There is a timeline- here you go.
http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Split_Timeline_Theory
thats the general points, some of the finer details arent there, but the Idea of a child Link and an Adult link timeline that are seperate from one another make this the most likely of all timeline theorys.
