Really?! Wow.
Actually I kinda don't believe there's a time line for Zelda. I think Nintendo just made the game for the pure enjoyment of challenges and solving riddles. They just so happened to include hints and tips that referred back to previous Zelda games. Fans just started coming up with theories to satisfy their own want of a timeline. Though there are timelines out there that are quite fascinating. I think the best timeline theory I've heard of is the split timeline one. There might be a whole bunch of 'em actually, but that kind is my favourite for some reason. What about you?
