I think that many of the inconsistencies in creating a unified timeline including all of the games is the fact that many of the games were not created with one intended. The First game that, IMO, was intended to be part of a larger timeline was OoT.
We all agree on:
I call this the Main Timeline
/ WW - PH - ST
OoT
\ MM - TP
Don`t we?
that's because all of the games here were made to fit into this specific timeline. There is no question about this order.
The Next Timeline, One Step removed from the OoT timeline and could very well be factored in, is the Four Swords Timeline. These I put as separate because they almost seem to follow a continuity of their own, and may in fact be a Prequel to the Retro Timeline:
MC -FS -FSA
Retro Timeline : LoZ - AoL - LTTP - LA or
LTTP -LA - LoZ - AoL
I understand the status of these as their own continuity is dubious, but FSA shares so much in common with the Retro timeline, it may very well be interconnected with it, which is why I bring up this controversial one:
MC - LoZ - FS - AoL - FSA - LTTP - LA.
or MC - FS - FSA - LTTP - LA - LoZ - AoL .
OoX is nearly impossible to place. Everyone who has tried runs into multiple inconsitencies, and if it were not for this game, timeline theories would go a lot easier.
