The timeline of The Legend of Zelda series always used to be one of the greatest sources of mystery surrounding the franchise. That shroud, however, dissipated with the release of an official timeline endorsed by Eiji Aonuma in the Hyrule Historia book last December (which in the meantime has become a source of many theory arguments for some and a dark demon for others).
As we approach E3 2012 and our anticipation grows for the announcement of another Zelda game-most likely for 3DS-it's wise to wonder where Nintendo would most likely place a new installment. Or better yet, where on the timeline would you like for the next game to take place? Personally, I'd like to see a title on the "Hero is Defeated" timeline explaining the Sealing War that occurs before A Link to the Past. Not only would that provide an interesting story but also a scope which the series has never experienced. Be sure to tell me where on the timeline you'd like for the fifteenth mainstream Zelda title to take place.
