  • Ever confused about the Zelda Timeline? Here is an in-depth look on how the Legend of Zelda was created and infused into the worldwide franchise that is truly a legend.
    This is the complete Legend of Zelda Timeline created by GameTrailers - I just put it together. All right goes to them in creation of this video. I'm just putting it together into one video.
    Version 1.1:
    Uploaded.
    Version 1.2:
    The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds debuts, a sequel to A Link to the Past. Because this is a sequel, it falls under the Fallen Hero Timeline - directly after Link's Awakening.
    Version 1.3:
    Hyrule Warriors has been announced for the Wii U, this game is not Zelda canon and will not partake in the timeline. It is simply a spin off game.
    Version 1.4:
    Nintendo announces a new game at E3 2015, The Legend of Zelda: Tri-Force Heroes. Eiji Aonuma claims that this game is part of the timeline. The game takes place several years after A Link Between Worlds and features the same hero. Certain events bring him to the kingdom of Hytopia, where he dresses as he does in order to hide his heroic origins. There's no telling where the other hero candidates come from, but the player character you control is the true Hyrulean hero from A Link Between Worlds.
    Version 1.5
    On March 3rd, 2017, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild debuts. After finishing the game (and many theories later), the timeline placement of this game has now been revealed. We learn that this game takes place where Calamity Ganon has attacked Hyrule multiple times. During an interview conducted by Game Informer, Aonuma confirmed that this game takes place after Ocarina of Time. So where does Breath of the Wild fall in the timeline? This game takes place thousands of years after the events in all three timelines, unifying the timeline back into one. Breath of the Wild hints at all three timelines such as Zelda anointing Link a knight saying - "And have proven yourself worthy of the blessings of the Goddess Hylia. Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight... the sacred blade is forever bound to the soul of the Hero." Zelda is referring to Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess. Picking up one of the many materials found in Breath of the Wild, you'll notice an interesting description about one of them. Rock Salt refers to a 'Great Sea' at one point that swept over Hyrule hinting at the Adult Link timeline and The Wind Waker. Breath of the Wild has now been confirmed by Nintendo that it unifies all three timelines into one, effectively restarting the entire Zelda timeline.
    Version 1.6
    The latest entry in the Zelda timeline, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom makes its debut. Since this is a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild, it takes directly after it in the timeline making Tears of the Kingdom the latest and most recent entry in the timeline.

    Here's a theory, what if the three timelines represent the three aspects of the Triforce. The Fallen Hero timeline represented power. Ganondorf defeated Link and obtained all of the Triforce pieces. Becoming all powerful. The child timeline was of wisdom. Link was sent back in time with the knowledge and wisdom regarding Ganondorf's treachery and so Ganon was stopped before he could start. The adult timeline represented courage. If you think about it, most of the storylines of the games in this timeline was about exploration and discovery. Link and Zelda needed to have the courage to explore and uncover an uncertain future into a new land that is no longer Hyrule. The placement of the timeline also makes sense. Wisdom on the left, power in the middle and courage on the right.
    But that's just a theory. A game theory...

      Actually, BotW's backstory has been released.
      So, Link wakes up from some coma-like state after a (currently) unknown amount of time. (Perhaps he's a Link from an existing game?) and finds that 100 years ago, Hyrule has been completely destroyed by a form of Ganondorf called Calamity Ganon (seems to be like Pig Ganon on steroids), except Hyrule Castle, where Calamity Ganon has been sealed. The seal is apparently about to break, and when it does, the world will end.

    • @crescendyr8438
      @crescendyr8438 7 лет назад +2

      Has Nintendo officially stated that Adult Link was even sent back at all in the Adult timeline or is that just fan assumptions?
      To make sense, adult Link would need to have stayed in the adult timeline with Zelda. Similar to the Fallen timeline, this ending simply isn't shown because it's non-canon. If Link goes back to his childhood
      and prevents the events of OoT that Adult timeline ceases to exist in its entirety so there can be no ongoing history. Therefore there must be two distinct endings. Not one ending equaling two timelines. In the
      same way that Link to the Past is the result of a completely different ending to OoT.

    • @crescendyr8438
      @crescendyr8438 7 лет назад

      Not possible. The time 7 years ago directly affected the future 7 years ahead. You could do things in the past that then carried over into the future. They are one. Therefore when you go back and change the child time it prevents that future from happening. Link must have stayed in the future at the end to keep the Adult Timeline intact. Again, remember that the Downfall Timeline dictates completely different ending. Adult is the same. They indicate alternate endings that the player never experiences.
      The timelines are mutually exclusive.
      They can only coexist if each takes place in three distinct separate realities.

    • @HighPriestFuneral
      @HighPriestFuneral 9 лет назад

      Ernie Gonzalez Spin-off does not mean "non-canon". OoA, OoS are both spinoffs, as is PH and ST. The official director of Triforce Heroes said he wasn't sure which timeline it fits in at the moment, but that doesn't mean it's not going to fit in somewhere.
      Regardless good work with the updates though.

    • @egonzdigital
      @egonzdigital  9 лет назад

      HighPriestFuneral It was released by Nintendo that this game isn't in the timeline. Here's reference: www.zeldauniverse.net/2015/07/01/nintendo-representative-says-tri-force-heroes-is-not-in-the-timeline-of-zelda/

    • @HighPriestFuneral

      Ah, so they updated their stance, and I thought I was current with the situation? I apologize, thanks for the reference though!

    • @HighPriestFuneral
      @HighPriestFuneral 9 лет назад

      They didn't outline one a few years ago before the release of HH though. The only thing they said in the past was that OoT was the start (which it was, at the time they said it), ALttP follows after, and the last two games on the line are the original Legend of Zelda and AoL, aside from one "duh" moment Shigeru Miyamoto had in 1995 where he claimed ALttP took place after the original games which was already debunked and he quickly walked back the statement.
      Their mentioning of a timeline has been rather coherent and aside from the Downfall Timeline fans put most of it together long before Nintendo released their timeline, which they had in their possession for a very long time (references to a timeline document go back to early 2000's as I recall right.)

    I have watched several Legend of Zelda Timeline videos such as this, and this is by far my favorite rendition.
    I really like that the video discusses the context of when the physical games came out, the history of how people began to connect the dots from game to game, and just how the story unfolds.
    Instead of just saying well guys there are three timelines and throwing it out, I really enjoyed the tale of how the three timelines were "discovered" or perhaps more appropriately stated. revealed.
    I also liked how the timelines diagrams and the thorough explanations of how each game related to it's corresponding timeline.
    So with all of this, I would just like to say thanks to all of you for your hard work, love, and dedication. I hope to see similar content or (perhaps updates?) in the future.
    Cheers!

      Four Swords Adventures takes place hundreds of years after Twilight Princess. Since Breath of the Wild takes place thousands of years (like.. a lot of thousands) after Twilight Princess, this would put Breath of the Wild after Four Swords Adventures, being the latest entry in the Child Link timeline.

      What if this is a new timeline where the hero of time stays in the future to protect it which would explain why it the master sword was moved to the woods because if it was put in the temple he would have went back in time.

    Here's what I love about the 3DS; you can play almost every Zelda game!
    LoZ (Virtual Console)
    AoL (Virtual Console)
    ALTTP (Virtual Console, New 3DS only)
    LA (Virtual Console, DX version)
    OoT (Enhanced remake, cartridge or download)
    MM (Enhanced remake, cartridge or download)
    OoS (Virtual Console)
    OoA (Virtual Console)
    FS (Anniversary Edition, no longer available)
    TMC (Virtual Console, ambassadors only)
    PH (DS backwards compatibility)
    ST (DS backwards compatibility)
    ALBW (Cartridge or download)
    TFH (Cartridge or download)
    The only ones you can't play are; WW, TP, FSA, and SS.

      You cant play the minish cap on 3ds

    • @03bgood
      @03bgood 8 лет назад +1

      Yes you can if you're an ambassador. You get 10 free GBA games. The only games that are no longer available are Four Swords Anniversary Edition and The Minish Cap as those were limited releases and you can get the latter on the Wii U eShop for $8. Even the Wii U Virtual Console has 2 of the 6 portable Zelda games from the GB/GBC/GBA/DS eras, well the 2 DS games. Also, the Switch can play Breath of The Wild, so there's another game that's playable on the go. So that's 15 of the 19 Zelda games that are playable on a handheld. 14 of which are only on the 3DS (Until the Switch gets VC games, that is) and 1 of which, is only on the Switch. If all VC platforms become available on the Switch, that means 16 out of 19 games, unless Nintendo releases GCN VC games on the Switch (WW, TP, FSA), then it goes up to 18 out of 19, leaving only SS as the only game that can't be played on the Switch, which will probably get an HD remaster in 2021, anyways. So in theory, all official Zelda games could one day be playable on the Switch, maybe in about 3 years.

    As a Diehard Linearist, I despise the very idea of a downfall timeline. I can very easily see one linear timeline. Take the "Official"
    Timeline:
    / tWW - PH - ST
    SS - tMC - FS - OoT -- MM - TP - FSA
    \ aLttP - OoX - LA - aLBW - LoZ - AoL
    and make a few changes:
    1) Make them easier to read:
    Pre-Split: SS - tMC - FS - OoT
    Child: MM - TP - FSA
    Adult: tWW - PH - ST
    Downfall: aLttP - OoX - LA - aLBW - LoZ - AoL
    2) Fix the problem with OoX placement, due to the fact that:
    a) Link and Zelda don't know eachother.
    b) This Link does not look like aLttP/LA Link in official art.
    c) They want it prior to LoZ, so it can't be after AoL
    New Downfall: aLttP - LA - OoX - aLBW - LoZ - AoL
    3) Assuming Ganon breaks out of the Four Sword (which in all likelyhood he can), this would likely lead to something like the Seal War, meaning Downfall fits at the end of Child.
    New Child: MM - TP - FSA - aLttP - LA - OoX - aLBW - LoZ - AoL
    4) A new Ganondorf could easily rise to power after AoL, and if there is no Hero to stop him, he could take over, eventually causing the Great Flood.
    Final Timeline:SS - tMC - FS - OoT - MM - TP - FSA - aLttP - LA - OoX - aLBW - LoZ - AoL - tWW - PH - ST
