Oops, yeah, we were talking about different quotes. Either way, he still doesn't say that OoT was first in the timeline before SS. Note that he says "sort of the oldest". And the last time he talked about a game being the earliest in the timeline, it wasn't OoT, it was FS. That was before TMC...

But he didn't say that OoT was the oldest story before SS. He just said that SS takes place before OoT, and he can't call it the first Zelda game in the timeline.

Just so you know, it was never confirmed that TMC, FS, and FSA don't take place before OoT anymore. The fact that Aonuma didn't mention them in the recent interview isn't confirmation that they don't still take place before OoT. They just weren't relevant, so they were'd mentioned.
