Zelda Timeline Possibility (+ List of All Games (incl CDI's))

[FierceDietyLink]

In Game Timeline (possibility):

My timeline theory:

Skyward Sword --> Ocarina of Time --> Majora's Mask --> Oracle of Ages <--> Oracle of Seasons --> The Minish Cap --> Four Swords --> Four Swords Adventures --> A Link to the Past --> Link's Awakening --> The Legend of Zelda --> Zelda Cartoon --> The Adventure of Link --> Twilight Princess --> Links crossbow challenge --> The Wind Waker --> Phantom Hourglass --> Spirit Tracks

^^^ this is just a theory, nothing that would at all be confirmed just my own little theory, however i am not sure at all where the CDI games fall into place.

Seeing as the Skyward Sword is confirmed to eventually become the Master Sword, it is most likely that this tale is going to take place before Ocarina of Time.


Timelines between games:

The Legend of Zelda --> Zelda Cartoon --> The Adventure of Link

A Link to the Past --> Link's Awakening

Ocarina of Time (Child Timeline) --> Majora's Mask --> Twilight Princess

Ocarina of Time (Adult Timeline) --> The Wind Waker --> Phantom Hourglass --> Spirit Tracks

Oracle of Ages <--> Oracle of Seasons

The Minish Cap --> Four Swords --> Four Swords Adventures

(with the cartoon of zelda that in my own opinion comes after the first ever zelda game)
This is what the angry video game nerds video on the whole timeline thing:

(note this was made before twilight princess was released so any game after that wont be included)

Ur timeline is kinda hard to read. And I don't wanna be mean, but it's kinda dumb to include the cd-i zelda games and the zelda cartoons.

 

[Ember Incubus]

I agree, I can't really read it. But, the CDi and the Zelda Cartoon are not made by Miyamoto or Aonuma, so they are not canonical. I can't really comment on those since I have no played the CDis or watched the Cartoons. So sorry...

 

[Deleted member 6224]

links awakening has to be after ph cause link crashes his boat at sea

 

[Mr.Verto]

What are you trying to say??? and why do you put crossbow training it doesnt have a story is just like a test game to the wii zapper sort of

 

[Ember Incubus]

It was confirmed by Aonuma that Crossbow Training does not have a place on the timeline nor a story.

 

[DuckNoises]

If the cartoons and the CD-i games are canon then I will burn all my Zelda cartridges.

 

[Diablo]

Isee a lot of problems wit your timeline.
1. It is already established that Four swords is the earliest part in Loz history.
2. It has also been said by Miyamoto that The adventure of Link is a direct sequel to the original Loz so the cartoons do not go in the middle of that.
3. Minish cap is after the four swords series.
4. Like it has been stated above me the cartoons, and the crossbow training are not relevant to the timeline at all.

1: No, it has only been established that MC is at hte beggining.
3. First of all; MC, FS, and FSA do not have their own series, and if they did, MC would be apart of it. Also, MC has to come before FS and FSA because the FS was created during the events of MC, in FSA and FS, it already existed.

 

[Diablo]

Yes I am sorry I have got my games backwards. Also Ember when I said Four swords series I meant FSA and FS.

 

[Ember Incubus]

I know, my point was that if FS and FSA had its own series (which it does not), then MC would be apart of it.

@Feirce Deity Link Also, you forgot Game and Watch Gallery and Gamewatch Gallery. Althought; those two,the CDi, and the cartoons are not canonical.

 

[link9]

MC isn't confirmed at the beginning...

 

[Ember Incubus]

MC isn't confirmed at the beginning...

Not at the very beggining, but near the beggining. What was confirmed is that it is before OoT. And since the only games that did not have the FS or MS in it have MS in their confirmed prequal, the only thing that can go before it so far is ZSS, LoZ, and AoL. ZSS has the MS, but it is for sure before OoT because the MS is created in ZSS, or sometime after it.
