Since the series began, Nintendo has been coy on whether there’s an official timeline for The Legend of Zelda. They’ve said there is one, locked away in Nintendo HQ, but the fact it’s never been shared – and that each game seems so wildly different from the rest – has long clouded the topic.
Until now.
Nintendo’s new Zelda art book is already finding its way into the hands of Joe Public, and inside is a Zelda timeline. For real. In an official Nintendo product.
And, according to one such person posting online (and helpfully translated by reader littsu), it reads like this. Note that the “split” is due to Ocarina’s time differences and assumptions based on the different ways that story could have ended (as in, Link succeeding or failing as either a boy or adult).
Be warned: there may be errors, given the nature of the transcribing, and Nintendo may later own up and say this isn’t the super-secret official timeline they’ve been guarding with their lives for decades. This may be just an “interpretation”. Or something. Got that? OK, read on!
