Official Legend of Zelda Timeline Revealed?

The Legend of Zelda timeline has been up for debate for a long time among fans, and Nintendo has always found a way to get around the question. For a long time, the Zelda timeline has been a huge mystery and it seems that Nintendo will keep it that way. Or maybe not.

Apparently in Nintendo’s new Legend of Zelda artbook, an official Legend of Zelda timeline is revealed according to this post. The split after Ocarina of Time is based on the time differences and assumptions on how Ocarina could have ended.

The Link to the Past timeline is Link failing. The Majora’s Mask split is Link defeating Ganon and branching from his younger self. And finally, the Wind Waker split is Link defeating Ganon and branching from his older self. Hello, parallel universes!

For some reason, I have a feeling that Nintendo may go out and say this “timeline” isn’t right. Again. Who knows? Anyway, if this is true, then here is your “official” Legend of Zelda timeline.

After playing Twilight Princess, the timeline of this series confused the fuck out of me. At least, this helped me out somewhat…
