My updated timeline

[RamboBambiBambo]

So... I have already posted about refurbishing my old fan-made scripts for games that I had wanted to present to Nintendo in my post titled "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit of a Hero."

Well, I went ahead and put together how these titles would be arranged in the Zelda timeline by using Google Drive's version of Microsoft Excel.

Enjoy.

I forget, why were the oracles moved again

 

[RamboBambiBambo]

Eh. Nintendo deemed it nesessary to have Link's Awakening before Oracles for some reason. Though in my opinion it makes sense to have it AFTER Oracles, since it would allow for Link to have an adventure on Kholint while on a boat ride back from Holodrum and Labrynna to Hyrule.

yeah my thoughts exactly, it'd retcon the prologue to link's awakening but the ending of the oracles plays off really well to transition into link's awakening opening

If I remember correctly, Capcom not only did Oracles but didn't they develop LA?

no, link's awakening was purely nintendo, minish cap was the other capcom game [and four swords]

Right yeah. I forgot.
It made me annoyed that Farore in MC didn't get a house as a reference to her not getting a game.

she could, it totally depends on which of them you want to give a house to

......no you couldn't.
I recently played Minish Cap.
You had these coins that if you found the other half to them and shared them with someone, something would trigger.
Farore was the only one who had a coin that had no half for. So as a result, you had no chance to give her a home.
She would even say dialogue like "I sure hope I get a home too." if you talked to her after Din and Nayru got a house to themselves.
It was basically Capcom devs stubtly saying "Hey Nintendo, when can we complete the Trilogy we had planned?"

the kinstones would lead gorman to come to town to start building a house in town, he asks you if you know anyone who's looking for a place, and you can go to the oracle girls and talk to any of them of your choice to offer them the house, there's two houses so only one gets left out, but it doesn't have to be farore

 

[mαrkαsscoρ]

I just checked my minish cap save file and yes, din is the only one left, I vividly remember giving farore a house first b/c of the whole not having a game thing

 

[RamboBambiBambo]

Huh.... weird

Zelda introduces herself to Link as if they had never met before, which shouldn't be the case if the game is featuring the same Link from A Link to the Past.

This is the crux over the Oracle's placement, and for Zelda Encyclopedia they decided to put the Oracles after Link's Awakening to remedy the issue. The Oracles has to be inbetween ALttP and ALBW no matter what though because it explains why the Triforce is split in ALBW, and why Ganon is mindless.

So it comes down to choosing whether Zelda not knowing Link seems more annoying, or the fact that the Oracles concluding with Link departing on a raft isn't used to lead into Link's Awakening is bothersome.

but isn't it the same link anyway? so at that point, what does moving them even matter?

It was never confirmed whether Oracles Link is the same as ALttP/LA Link, but the point of moving Oracles after Link's Awakening in Zelda Encyclopedia was to say Oracles Link is a different Hero altogether, and that explains why Zelda introduces herself.
