After analyzing the story and the plotline of the classic Zelda games, which tend to be a little bit more
confusing when trying to piece together a timeline (MC, FS,FSA,ALTTP, etc), I have decided on creating a Timeline that places these games in a logical way. I have read many of the other threads on Timeline
Theory from which I have received inspiration.
So first, we begin with Skyward Sword. The presumed founding of Hyrule and the MS.
SS-
Next, Ocarina of Time. In Ocarina of Time, Zelda sends Link to retrieve the Spiritual Stones from
the races in Hyrule. After retrieving the Spiritual Stones, he goes to Hyrule Castle to witness Zelda and her attendant Impa fleeing from Ganondorf. He uses the Ocarina of Time and the Spiritual Stones to openthe Door of Time and claim the Master Sword. After pulling the MS from the pedestal, he gets trapped in the Sacred Realm for 7 years. Thus, Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm utilizing the link to sacred realm created by Link. He awakens and kills and Ganon. Link then gets sent back in time to relive his child-hood, thus creating a split timeline. This is where it gets tricky. Imo, when Link goes back in time, the ToC is duplicated. One version of the ToC remains with him as he travels to the past (the proof is seen on
Link's hand in TP), and the other version, in the Adult Timeline, breaks, and is scattered across Hyrule.
The shards of this ToC will be picked from the Ocean floor by the Link from WW.
......... /
SS-OoT

Now we have the Adult Timeline (AT) and the Child Timeline (CT). In the AT Ganon comes back and threatens to destroy Hyrule once again. With no Hero of Time to help, the Godesses flood Hyrule, creating the great sea --> WW. In the CT, Link goes intothe lost woods to "look for a friend" but falls in a hole leading to Termina --> MM
........./ WW
SS-OoT
.........\ MM
After the events of MM, Link comes back to Hyrule and stays there for a while. Later, when he is older, he is called by the power of the Triforce to help another world (Labrynna/Holodrum) in need of the Hero of Time--> OoX. When he comes back, Link is an old man. He falls asleep seemingly for a very long time,and has a dream --> Link's Awakening. To clarify, MM/OoX/LA have the same Link. On the AT, the events of PH occur.
.......... / WW/PH--
SS--Oot
.......... \ MM/OoX/LA--
Next, in the CT, the events of TP occur. When Ganondorf is killed (Im just going to imply that the Triforce must be in balance), the ToP leaves Ganon, causing the ToC and the ToW to leave Link and Zelda.TheTriforce pieces return to the Sacred Realm.This way, the events of ALTTP can occur. I believe that the Seal War WAS actually the imprisoning war. Imo, the backstory of ALTTP with the Hylian Knights and the Seven Wise Men, is actually the distorted story of Ocarina of Time. On theAT, Link and Tetra have discovered New Hyrule.
They then settle there, and the MC/FS/FSA story arc occurs. I decided to put the MC/FS/FSA games there because in Spirit Tracks, there obviously is a big advancement in technology, so it would not make sense to put the MC/FS/FSA games after ST.
......... / WW/PH--MC/FS/FSA--
SS--Oot
.......... \ MM/OoX/LA--TP--ALTTP--
So right now, we only have three more games to fit in: Spirit Tracks, LoZ, and AoL. After the MC/FS/FSA games in the AT, Malladus attacks New Hyrule and the Spirits of Good seal him under the ground. This leads up to Spirit Tracks. After ALTTP on the CT, LoZ and AoZ happen.
.......... / WW/PH--MC/FS/FSA--ST
Ss--OoT
...........\ MM/OoX/LA--TP--ALTTP--LoZ/AoL
This is my completed timeline. I can see no flaws right now but if you do, please point them out.
