it isnt.

They already answered the question
>GR: Where does Breath of the Wild fit within the official Zelda timeline?

>HF: “It takes place in an age long, long after any of the titles released to date. It is the most recent age. And because of this we believe players will be able to easily immerse themselves in the game. Of course, regardless of the time period, the story does unfold in Hyrule so for those who’ve played other titles in the series there will be a lot of recognizable places to enjoy.”

>>379544315
the timeline splits into 3 after ocarina of time

>>379544059
OoT characters are mentioned in BotW

Nowhere, because the whole "10,000 years in the future" thing is intended to be a soft reboot of sorts, as well as how all the references make it not fit in any timeline comfortably.
The only confirmed thing is that it's at the end of a timeline, and most certainly after OoT.

>>379544402
what does that matter?
Official word is that it takes place long after any of the games. Basically means that none of the timelines matter and you will never be able to place it anywhere.

>>379544315
That doesn't answer which of the 3 timelines it belongs to tho

>>379544621

>>379544218
idk it just seems right

>>379544914
Doesn't fit, as this is the original Hyrule and not new Hyrule. Also, the master sword not being in Ganon's head, and the triforce being around.

>>379545296

Okay, but you're wrong. Interviews with the staff disagree with you.

It's the fourth timeline

It's set at least 10100 years apart from any timeline so it doesn't matter.

>people caring about timelines of a video game
Truly the worst timeline.

After twilight princess.

Duh

>>379543819
It doesn't fit anyone besides the Downfall Timeline but more than likely it's a soft reset.

We have Zelda mentioning SS, OoT and TP, Lon Lon ranch ruins, hylia bridge, literally OoT temple of time 1 minute into the game, TP twilight mirror being at least referenced via easter egg in the shrine quest where you take pics of a circle

>>379549202
That's not how timelines work. A converging point would mean a world where oot ganon won and lost at the same time.

>>379545296
Why, though? Any examples? Ganondorf didn't exist yet

>>379543819
it's in the re-combined post-modern timeline where everyone is aware of the history of the other zelda timelines

>>379550670
This is the most retarded post in the thread. Congratulations.

It's one of those "set thousands of years away" things so people wouldn't be asking "so if x and y that means 20XX is actually 2087" or star wars "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away"

It's just to remark that it shouldn't matter and just enjoy it

>>379543819
How does nobody know this. Its in the Twilight princess branch.

Zelda literally states the hero of winds, hero of time and hero of twilight when she knights Link!


Everything else is constants and variables such as the Korok and Masterswords resting place!

>>379551542
Skies sorry*

>>379551542
She also mentions the hero who traveled the ocean (in the japanese version), which technically happens in 2 timelines but not the one in TP.

>>379544621
This. The devs avoided it entirely because timelines are gay and should be dropped

>>379551542
That's the easiest one to disprove since on the slabs in Zora's Domain it mentions that Ruda was named after Sage Ruto and she doesn't become a sage in that timeline.

>>379543819
Either Downfall or Adult. I personally think Adult fits the most. Child makes no sense.

>>379545464
They could go back, and not everyone above old hyrule abandoned it. There's no evidence for that. This takesplace so long after OoT you can just hand wave any plot inconsistencies away with the argument of the passage of time.

>>379551542
Twilight is only name dropped in the English release. Certain other localizations (I'm forgetting the specifics right now) mention other things, one allegedly references Wind Waker.

>>379551542
OoT is directly referenced, multiple times, in the game and none of the adult OoT events happen in the child timeline. Child Timeline actually makes the least amount of sense.

>>379553675
>There's no evidence for that.
The King of Hyrule literally wishes away Hyrule at the end of Wind Waker. Washed away, and crumbled under the waves forever.

>>379543819
I don't know but I don't think it's a convergence event. It really doesn't seem to work and I was one of the timeline convergencefags before release.

It takes place in the good timeline.

It's pretty fucking clear that it's 10,000+ years after Twilight Princess. Why is there still any speculation on this shit?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZAnUtImyrM

>>379553857
It just filled with Water. He basically just wished for the magic barrier to vanish so water flooded the castle. It doesn't magically vanish into thin air, it's all still there. And the passage of time can be used to just make the flood disappear. Even if it did get destroyed there's nothing saying that 5000 years later the flood receded and people ended up inhabiting the remains of Hyrule to fix it after it got fucked.

>>379554031
>It's pretty fucking clear that it's 10,000+ years after Twilight Princess.
You need to actually play the game and pay attention to see that makes 0 sense. Adult Link from OoT and his exploits doesn't exist in the child timeline yet he's referenced multiple times. some throwaway mention of the word twilight is not a confirmation of being in the child timeline.

I miss the early speculation when we thought the game would be amazing and have some kind of mind blowing reveal.

>>379554231
When do they reference Adult Link specifically? I've played through the whole fucking game.

Remember, 10,000 years before BotW is when Zelda unleashed the Guardians and Divine Beasts on Ganon.

Any previous game would have to come WAY before that.

>>379554853
Kas mentions him multiple times. Ruto is name dropped as a sage in a Zora history slab. I can't really. I think Impa might even mention OoT at least once at some point. If you take these into consideration then the child timeline makes the least amount of sense over all the others.

>>379555549
Can't really remember, but*

>>379543819
Way way way way way in the future. It references Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess at one point, so it's probably in the Child Timeline. Or maybe there's some merged timeline, who the fuck knows.

>>379555819
BotW mentions all of the games but a convergence theory doesn't seem as likely as previously thought.

Ruto is mentioned as a sage which doesn't happen in the Child Timeline.
This is explained every thread, including this one already.

>>379554046
Actually, yeah, it doesn't make sense. How would the master sword be around? How would Romani ranch somehow still be standing? What happened to new Hyrule? How could the ocean waves have departed in the first place? It just raises

>>379555819
The Twilight Princess reference is a faulty one, as mentioned in the thread already.

>>379544914
In one of the first memories you unlock where Zelda is trying to ceremoniously "bless" Link her prayer mentions the courage found skyward through time in twilight etc. Literally spells out the timeline that its in

>Implying they won't asspull a Hyrule resurrection using the triforce 3 games from now.

>>379557728
It mixes timelines, see >>379552698
And as many have already pointed out, Ruto being a sage doesn't happen in the Child timeline either.

>>379557889

He was Gerudo in Ocarina of Time.

Could be both? But it's a good point.

>>379559423
He's a gerudo in TP too

>>379558201
It's impossible to be in the adult timeline since the original Hyrule got completely destroyed at the end of Wind Waker because of the king's wish, as in, ceased to exist completely.

With that in mind and the murals, that heavily implies the Fallen Hero timeline, but even that has stuff speaking against it heavily. When the game refers to previous games in the timeline, they also pretty clearly state that the hero "always won", which is an off statement in the fallen hero timeline, since that timeline only exists in the first place because the Hero of Time lost to Ganon in OoT.

I dont see how it can be anywhere else. Also it's anyones guess how BOTW affects Spirit Tracks and Four Swords placement on the timeline, they might have to shift them around or even decanon ST. (Shame, it's one of my favorites)

The real question is where does the 10000 years ancient Hyrule that used guardians and the divine beasts to defeat ganon fit into the timeline? I literally cant think of a single way to make that fit.

Exactly, which is why the only logical explanation is that it doesn't matter and Nintendo doesn't care. The whole 10,000 years thing is just there as a justification for being unclear.

>100 years later after everything
>DUDE WHERE L0L???

Okay.

>>379560457
They exist, but circimstances make it seem like the events of BotW shouldn't happen. Ganondorf has the master sword lodged in his skull in Hyrule castle right before it gets flooded, but Nintendo could probably do some bullshit to work around that. Not saying it is the case, but it could happen. Ganondorf has beaten being sealed more than once.

It comes after the adventure of link

>>379544059
The game literally references Ocarina of Time. It mentions specific people from that period of time. Add to that the fact that Koroks and Rito are present, then it absolutely has to take place after Wind Waker. Either on it's timeline, or maybe sometime further in the future of the timeline where the split timelines might converge back into one.

>>379560682
That scene with zelda knighting him seemed like it was just thrown in for fan service. If i were to place it, it seems to be in the failure timeline, as Ganon is exclusively in his beast form in those games. Probably Before Zelda, or maybe after 2

>>379560457
This is like saying that it mist be the WW timeline because Koroks and Rito exist. Saying that it must be downfall because of lynels is dumb.

There's no reasons Koroks can't exist in the Downfall timeline, it's just a forced evolution by the Deku Tree who can do whatever the fuck he wants.

>>379559984
>Are they talking about OoT link specifically though?
Yes, yes they are.

>>379561379
And yet the simultaneous existence of the Rito cements what I said because they evolved in response to the flooding of Hyrule.

>>379559984
Hard to say. Nevertheless, it's a pretty big hole in the theories pointing towards downfall timeline, since I don't think a hero "falling in battle against Ganon" would be insignificant enough to leave out in historical retellings. I mean, it could have explanations, historical retellings are often faulty and some stuff are lost in time, but if we can consider that shit, then the same would also count for the other timelines.

>>379561379
Well hyrule historia says that koroks took that specific form due to the great flood, so there's that/ Also Rito don't exist outside of the WW timeline either.

>there's no reason...
There's also no reason why Lynels can't exist in the other timelines yet people use that as an excuse to say it's int he downfall timeline.

The difference here is that canon specifically states that Rito specifically only exist because of events that transpire from Wind Waker. Hyrule Historia also mentions how the form we see the Koroks using is because of the Flood. There's nothing stating, or even implying, that Lynels ONLY exist in the downfall timeline and none of the others.

Yes, people have to know the difference between fanservice easter egg (location names with no other purpose other than to give it a name and make an easter egg while at it) and actual bit of game lore (temple of time same as OoT, goddess statue from SS, Zelda mentions SS, OoT and TP, Lon Lon Ranch location)

>>379562590
Make me bitch.

The new book is retconning a lot of stuff, but is still being translated, maybe when it gets here we'll see what was right, but until

The red dragon scales were the thing that made rito able to fly, yet in BotW, there's no red dragon and little rito kids just fly as they grow up, so there's a retcon going on there for sure

>>379563294
>new
you mean that fan magazine bullshit? I'm not talking about that.

>>379563294
>there's no red dragon
What about Dinraal?

>>379563331
The book that goes along the new artwork and shit book, that retcons MM into a Majora induced illusion fantasy thing that did happen but only for Link and the skull kid and the mask salesman and probably tatl and tael

>>379563294
>The red dragon scales were the thing that made rito able to fly, yet in BotW, there's no red dragon and little rito kids just fly as they grow up
There are guardian spirit deities in BotW that could fill the role of creatures like Valoo for all we know.

>>379563294
>The new book
It's not even canon, it was done by a fucking fan magazine. The creators even said themselves they took some liberty with the established lore.

>>379563558
what's this book called? Is it getting an official english release?

It's a clusterfuck that's for sure, the anons claiming it's before OoT are clearly shitposting or retards but it's still mixing timelines one way or another,the divine beasts are all named after sages, 3 from Ocarina and one from Wind Waker so there's definitely no ''real'' answer for now.

>>379563490
Wew lad, you're right, could be, but the dragons in BotW can't even speak and shit, and they're not really explained much into the story, so I don't know, maybe they're a dumb down version of the dragons from SS but eeh, I really don't know what to make out of those dragons since they included them

>>379563696
Hyrule Encyclopedia but it's not canon and shouldn't be treated as such.

it was forgotten quicker than SS, literally 2 months lifespan, pushing it

>>379563826
>but the dragons in BotW can't even speak and shit
Naydra can.

>>379564097
When does Naydra speak?

>>379564097
I thought it was the goddess talking to link during that scene, am I remembering wrong?

>>379564226
You're right. That was Hylia telling Link to free Naydra from Ganon's corruption. Naydra never speaks a single word.

>>379543819
They explicitly mention Twilight Princess, it takes place thousands of years after literally every single game in that timeline, and considering how you vanquish Ganon's most primal and spiritual form, it might be the last game in that timeline like forever

>>379564310
>I'll make the same ignorant post others did without checking the thread
Waifu threads weren't a mistake all along.

>>379564226
Really? I thought it just spoke in third person

>>379564416
I'm starting to think that people are doing it on purpose.

Ok then without hyrule encyclopedia, how do rito learn to fly by themselves when it was established in WW that the valoo scale was the thing that made them able to fly, we even see in BotW that the singing sisters just did it, and no dragon visible to give those scales out, did the dumb dragon Dinraal gave those to them? They outgrew Valoo and just fly by themselves (contradicting WW)

Rito and Zora can exist, at least in the CT timeline where most real evidence points to

>>379564608
>where most real evidence points to
And has plenty of contradictions. BOTW cleanly fits nowhere, stop lying to yourself.

The BotW Rito evolved from Loftwings.

>>379564608
>visible to give those scales
There are dragons that fly around in BotW and they drop scales off their body all the time.

>>379565082
Dumb dragon Dinraal doesn't throws scales at whatever place, you need to hit him to get one, and we don't know much about those dragons to know what they do, their scales may be only worth 150 rupees and that's all thus far

>>379560264
Zelda 1 and 2 both have Zora, Zelda 2 has bird people.

>>379543819
The game's director has already confirmed, it takes place so far into the future that the events of all three timelines are distant legends. Whatever timeline the game is actually set in doesn't matter, as the history has blurred to the point where it is no better than storybook tales. (IE events from the other timelines)

>>379565905
>, it takes place so far into the future
Yes

>that the events of all three timelines are distant legends.
No. No one ever says that there's a timeline convergence.

>>379566005
Way to not finish reading. The point is timeline placement doesn't matter because it takes place so far into the future "real" history can't be differentiated between stories and legends.

>>379566123
>timeline placement doesn't matter
>the games story goes out of its way to reference OoT at every turn

>>379566195
The idea of it being so far in the future does imply that it would be after OoT, and everything else. However, you can clearly see that it doesn't fit in anywhere, which is because they're using the 10,000 year thing to get out of the timeline restriction.

>>379566417
>imply that it would be after OoT
It's not an implication if events and characters that transpired in OoT are explicitly mentioned, it's a fact.

>>379566123
>>379565905

First of all, Aonuma wasn't the director. Secondly, while yes, its very far in the future, Aonuma also said that if you look hard enough you'll figure out which time line its in. Since so far no one has been able to definitevly do so, don't use Aonuma's word as law, especially for something he didn't say. He never said that the placement was irrelevant and he said that it definitely takes place in one of the 3 and that its not supposed to be a mystery.

>>379566492
Yes, it's after Oot. I'm glad we agree on that, but the rest of what I said stands.
