TGN's Timeline For The Legend of Zelda

[ThQp]

It is one of the most celebrated series to date, but every title bearing the Legend of Zelda name leaves one question unanswered: At what point in Hyrulian history did this happen? We are going to try to answer this mystery. Check it out:

When you hear "The Legend of Zelda" you likely think of a series of epic adventures. The way these adventures tie in with one other probably never crosses your mind, that's why I'm here, to look at these random events. Many theories exist as to what the Zelda timeline is, and with no official word from Nintendo who's to say anyone is wrong. One word of caution; it will take a little bit of knowledge about the series in general to follow what is being said. Sit back and enjoy yourself, we're taking a tour through Hyrule.

To many people, it would only seem likely that the first game in a series would be the first adventure in a story - not so in the land of Hyrule. The first adventure of the saga is found in Ocarina of Time which is then followed by the older title, Zelda II, and finally A Link To The Past. This is the plot that Shigeru Miyamoto gave nearly a decade ago: "Ocarina of Time is the first story, then the original The Legend of Zelda, then Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and finally A Link to the Past." So how would this make sense? The split timeline theory.
