There is no Zelda timeline. Prove me wrong.

>>383642943
There is none actually. Hyrule Historia goes to some length discrediting it's own timeline by saying It's soley the work of that one woman in charge of it or whatever and that it's her opinion. The fucking book actually says It's the opinion of a woman. How much weight do you put on that?

Making a Zelda timeline is like making a Dark Souls timeline. Sure, you can technically piece one together, but there's so much nonsensical rule-breaking bullshit that it doesn't really mean anything.

But that is the correct answer.

It's your basic monomyth shit

Each game should be played as a standalone piece of art, except for the explicit sequels

(Ocarina / Majora) (OoS / OoA)

What plot holes exactly are created by the official timeline?

You are correct. Lore fags are the fucking worst.
>waaaahhh
>BOTW has Zoras AND Ritos!
>they ruined everything!

There is one, it was created recently to appease timelinefags.
You used to be right, but nowadays you're wrong.

There is no official timeline you dumbfucks. This is literally fan made.

The fucking copout "hero dies" timeline that they haphazardly tacked onto Ocarina Of Time. If "hero dies" is an option, then every single game in the franchise should have a split ending. The possibilities are endless.

There are obviously games that take place before/after other games, but there is no single timeline that connects ALL of them.
>Adventure Of Link is a direct sequel to The Hyrule Fantasy
>Majora's Mask is a direct sequel to Ocarina Of Time
>Wind Waker is also some kind of sequel to Ocarina Of Time, but takes place in the distant future
>Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are direct sequels to Wind Waker
>The Minish Cap is a prequel to the Four Swords games
>Skyward Sword is the earliest
>Breath Of The Wild is the last
That's it. Outside of that, there is no timeline.

People who say there is no timeline at all are several times more retarded than the autists who spend days trying to figure out each placement, since as >>383644141
points out, the majority of the games do connect to each other with clear proof in game.

...The fuck are you on about? Can you not count to three? If you can than you have the Dark Souls "time line" figured out.

Games share a timeline only when the goddesses look the same

If the goddesses look different then it's a completely different universe

I always thought that there was no timeline, and that every game was just a remake of the first, unless otherwise stated (Like Majoras Mask).

You're doing the meme wrong. The smartest choice isn't actually supposed to be the smartest choice.

>>383642943
There are direct references to OOT in BOTW

>no timeline
>Zelda 2 is DIRECTLY after Zelda 1
>Link's Awakening is DIRECTLY after ALTTP
>MM is DIRECTLY after MM
>WW directly references OoT
>TP directly references OoT
>BoTW references every Zelda game

>Durr, there is no timeline
Oh fuck off
