  • Holy mother of jesus, I need to play Ocarina of Time.

  • majoras mask should be in the same timeline as the windwaker

  • This timeline is wrong. For a better time line, go to the Zelda wiki (wikia).

  • great video..

  • Soooo....the Link in Majora's mask, Link's awakening, And the 2 NES games are the same person? Interesting....

  • WOW...it all makes sense! IN twilight princess ganon was sealed away as well, but un the twilight realm. The twilight realm links to the sacred realm since the three pieces of the magic mirror were shattered, relating it to the triforce. The twilight realm was the exact opposite of the sacred yet it was begining to converge on the real world. So if ganon could get to the twilight realm he could get to hyrule!!! Thank you for making this video!

  • Imo MC/OOT = link 1 Child timeline: M'sM/TP = link 1 (Ganondorf dies, and will not reappear again) FS/FSA=link 2 (the war told in ALTTP) (ALTTP?)Zelda 1/Zelda 2/ALTTP/ = link 3 (triforce story, at the end the triforce is found (could be found before Zelda 1 if the link in ALTTP is a different link) OoS/OoA/L'sA = link 4 (L'sA could fit both timelines though, but fits more the ending of Oracle) Link 3 and 4 are possibly the same Adult timeline: TWW/PH=link 5 ST=link 6

  • TP comes before windwaker.

  • There is no , timeline, the timeline is what you want it to be

  • i might sound crazy but since link and zelda are both hyruleans and in the intro to minish cap it says the hero had gret wisdom and courage maybe link and zelda are siblings?

  • i agree with you except you messed up on the Four swords adventure. I THINK It should be Minish cap, four swords adventure and then ocarina of time. Minish cap and Four swords should be linked cuz they got Vatai. Other than that i agree so much with you. Especially the Oracles series. They were placed in the same time, but they couldn't be on the same time line so each one is on a different. Awesome! =]

  • chec kout my vids

  • So we could "say" TP comes after MM? At least, that Ganondorf is the same as in OoT right if I recall correctly...

  • TP is at the end of Hyrule A because at the end of TP Ganon dies for ever, his triforce disaperse which means he will never come back in the timeline, he is dead. Now Nintendo is continuing Hyrule B

  • i thought wind waker was the last zelda. hyrule got flooded trapping ganon in. my theory with the new ones is that its a new zelda/link

  • This goes to all of you that say that there is a statue of Ganon with a sword stuck in his head in Minish Cap... That's not true, there is no statue of such in Minish Cap. If I am wrong please tell me exactly where this supposed statue is, because I have beaten the game a few times and do not remember any statue showing such.

  • Oracle of seasons is obviously the firt of the 2(oracle of seasons and oracle of ages) any true zelda fan would know that much. so this entire theory is bullexcept the oot being the first. ive never played minish cap so no comment there.

  • if the timeline splits then where is the link that actually grew up, cuz really there should be two links alive in the time of OoT. so there has to be a mirrored game when link is an adult and the events of OoT are occuring and the link that actually lived his life and is adult now has nothing to do with the events of OoT. so basicly when you are adult in OoT there is a clone of link running around that has nothing to do with you. a little confusing but i tried to explain what i think

  • The orical games cant be at the end if minish cap is at the begining, dins trophy discription makes that imposable "She's looking for a house in Hyrule to move into. She's a famous dancer from the land of Holodrum." thought id point that out

  • the split time line is a necessary result of the time travel that occurs in OoT, assuming that the laws of quantum mechanics are upheld. the impossible scenario of the windwaker occurring after majora's mask is a prime example of the Grandfather Paradox. the many-worlds-interpretation holds true after all....

  • Comment removed

  • So this is al Zelda's fault? ...Great...

  • this is a wrong time line because the oricina of time is the first because it doesn't mention any hero but the triforce and the story of oricina of time link is brought to the forest by his mother and she died in the process

  • Comment removed

  • This explains a lot but they missed a couple of games. Also it kinda saddens me that all the characters may not be the same person. It seems cheap to me.

  • probably the best timeline i have heard so far

  • Whoa.

  • i think this fits together quite well...

  • if you read the mangas it clears up that oracle of ages took place after oracle of seasons.

  • no timeline in zelda.

    play fable if you want timeline better game too.

  • Comment removed

  • there's no need of a timeline

  • i love the ending of this video

  • I just had a fucking brain fart.

  • 2 things:

    1)4swords is the sequel to MC.

    2)Ganon and Ganandorf are two different poeple(things).

    1)Ganondorf was born of the Gerudo people, hence the title King of Thieves. Ganon was a demon currupt with the urge for power. at the end of OoT Ganondorf had turned himself into the demon which ganondorf resurrected by using himself as the host for it.

    2): the four swords link is the same link as MC. The 4swords is actually the picori sword(hence why at the end of MC you had the power to slit in 4)

  • GANNONDORF DRAGMIRE is the Gerudo theif who was turned into GANON which was the evil side to him that his triforce brought out.

  • EPICEST GAME EVER , even though its confusing....

  • I'm confused

  • I always assumed that Link in ALttP was the one that hid the Tri. of Courage in the Great Palace, then wrote the scroll in Hylian that is mentioned in the AoL manual.

  • Thats pretty epic

  • I can't argue with any of that because I couldn't keep up with some of it... Very interesting.. *headache*

  • Here is my timeline:

    Child Timeline:

    OoT, MM, TP, ALttP, LA, Zelda 1, Zelda 2, OoA & OoS

    Adult Timeline:

    OoT, WW, PH, ST, MC, FS, FSA

    If someone has another timeline, he can say it,

  • Another fact that doesn't have sense: When Ganondorf was going to be imprisioned in the Twilight Realm he already had the Triforce of Power, where could he get it from if he couldn't get the chance to get it, as he was stopped in the child timeline?

  • To grax638 it was a divine prank as he was sentenced to death at arbiter grounds but sense that was not destined because link was sent back in the pass, so the gods got confused and gave it to him

    thats what i think

  • Now it already has sense, I always find interesting Zelda theories everywhere. Also did you know that Minish Cap is NOT the fist game, because if it were, Link would have to search for the Master Sword, not the Picori Sword, and there were already heroes, the lack of cap would be a popular Hylian belief, as we portrait Santa Claus as a red, old, and fat guy.

  • and what can yo tell me about the new zelda game that is coming soon ? It seems that the game has an older link like 2 or 3 years older but all that I a have read says that it is a new story with a problem with the favious sword the master sword and that is the next story next to TP so maybe that story can be after TP and before WW, maybe the enda can take us to the bigining of the WW and the WW link is an incanation of the real link don't you think something like that?

  • it makes sense and in twilight princess ganon is resurrected.

  • ...this makes sense!! i agree with all the points here

  • -4-

    these seeds connect and form a new Hyrule together. The new Hyrule will have space for train tracks. If you watched the trailer of ST, you must have seen Link kneeling for Zelda. This must mean that this is a new Link, because... Do you think the WW Link will kneel for Tetra? So maybe they Ship Wracked (LA)? But well, I know its just what YOU think about, but I wanted to give my opinion. But you really are right about alot of things. Since it isn't proven what the correct time line is: 5/5!

  • -3-

    ... I WILL COME BACK, or something like that. But he didn't say that in TP, wich could mean that he's dead. And no: "I'm dead but I'll be ressurected" dead, but really dead, wich could mark the end of Gannondorf in Hyrule A.

    Spirit Tracks will probably be after PH. Did you ever see enough space for a train track in any Hyrule you've seen untill now? Well, maybe in South-Hyrule... But well, I still think there is not enough space. But do you remember the seeds you had to plant in WW? Maybe...

  • -2-

    ...clearly see that they are sequels. TP should be placed in Hyrule A, as long as you believe the theory that says that the stalfos hero (Shade) is the OoT/MM/Z1/AoL(/FSA/LttP). After he did all this, he entered the lost woods and never came out, and so became a stalfos. This also would explain why Link is born on a farm (maybe hes married with Malon?), why he seems to not have a father and why he has a horse called Epona. Another reason is, that in every Zelda game, Ganon says:...

  • -1-

    I think that after MC, FSA comes. They don't know GanonDORF in OoT, because he only appeared in MC as Ganon, the beast form. This directly deals with Vati, who doesn't come later in the serie. This only aplays if FSA has been released after the statement of Myamoto. And I also don't know why LttP must come after FSA. Could someone explain that to me? So why has it to be in Hyrule A, if it can be in Hyrule B, wich has more sense. And if you link OoA and OoS to each other, you...

  • This theory makes the most sense of any I've seen

  • wow this is VERY true, since in Zelda 2 is placed in north old hyrule

  • wow this is very professionally made

  • because nintendo stated their is a timeline; a split timeline

  • there*

  • if only they made a zelda that went through each game showing the entire timeline and anyway twilight princess rules and so do ocarina of time and wind waker9sorry i ahve never palyed the other zeldas)

  • i know something hat screwes up the split timline theroie:

    when kid link and zelda tond the king abouit ganandorf, he stoped ganandorf before he could attack thus stopping the adult saga from happening

  • Im sure you already know this but twilight princess takes place 1 thousand years after ocarina of time because it explains that when link is given the green tunic

  • interesting,,,rly interesting

  • not really. they get payed to do this.

  • holy shit

    some people just have too much free time

    LOL

  • Here's my timeline

    Hyrule A: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages/of Seasons, Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link, Twilight Princess (many years later and a new Link), the upcoming Zelda Wii game.

    Hyrule B: Ocarina of Time, The Minish Cap, Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, The Wind Waker (many years later and a new Toon Link), Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks

  • twilight princess goes in to hyrule B because the history in the game says that ganon was sealed by sages in twilight zone and uses Zant's (the villin) power come back in to the world

  • well i dont hate Zelda games, i like some its just the wole timeline theroy

  • Now this is why i hate Zelda games, i only want to know the story not lead me off into 50 million other games

  • so you hate zelda games cus of that? thats pretty dumb

  • I don't think there is a time line (after all, if there was one, it'd be alot more obvious)

    It's interesting to think about though.

  • Why is the zelda in WW called zelda because new born are only called zelda in hyrule A because of zelda 2

  • this is beacuse the prince after puting to sleep hes sister zelda order that every girl born in the royal family shall be named zelda, remember that ocarina is seven years in the future an WW is like a 100 or 93 year later, zelda 2 tells you this story of THE PAST no matter witch hyrule it is.

  • moblins existed in the minish cap. moblins where created by gannon. no gannon no moblins. MC cant be first

  • how do you know gannon created moblins

  • This is so interesting and i liked the ending.

  • this is the one i agree with, about 80%

  • <3

    This makes sense..But..But, it has probably changed..

  • wrong oot was first goddamn it shigero may have say it on rush but it make sense after all

  • They should make a game that in the story, it reaveals what comes in order

  • I couldnt of done it any better

  • What if the moon getting close caused the flood? This would also explain why the Hero's shield exists in Majora's Mask and Windwaker (but not why they look completely different). This fucks up the split time line theory though.

  • I think that the developer of these games is laughing his ass off right now, lol, all these theories

  • lol wow Im such a nerd! xD I watched that whole thing and was intrested haha.

  • I like how AVGN says "It's just a game so who gives a shit?"

  • oot is the first in the timeline cause link just meets zelda

  • Wait. How can Twilight Princess take place in between Ocarina o' Time and Wind Waker?! The whole reason Hyrule was flooded was because when Ganon returned, there was no Link to fight him. If Twilght Princess took place there, then Wind Waker wouldn't have happened.

  • exactly why the timeline has to split.

  • Actually I changed my mind. It could take place there because it's probably a new Link altogether. Once he defeated Ganon, then for whatever reason he left after TP, then Ganon returned and Hyrule was flooded because Link left and couldn't fight Ganon. That's what I think hapened, but the next zelda Wii game could fuck up this theory.

  • Twilight Princess isn't before Wind Waker. TP's backstory states that in "Hyrule A", Link and Zelda inform the King of Ganondorf's plans, and he is sentenced to death at Arbiter's Grounds. This is when he breaks free and kills the sage of water, forcing the other sages to seal him in the Twilight realm, a place inhabited by descendants of the evil dark interlopers banished there many generations earlier by the spirits of light in TP (the animals from the springs) =D

  • Twilight Princess is how Ganondorf escapes the prison he was kept in that he went to in Orcarina of time in Hyrule B. When Ganon dies in Twilight Princess, another male Gerudo was born those hundren years later. He follows Ganon's steps and named himself or someone name him after Ganon.

  • Wow o.o i think that windwaker takes places 100 years after ocarina of time because Hyrule is flooded and they even mention link the hero of time so

  • My timeline is first Ocarina of Time then young link Majora's Mask then 100 years later windwaker then phantom hourglass but after ocarina of time is twilight princess from adult link then legend of zelda then zelda 2 then oracles then but before windwaker is minish cap then four swords then four swords adventure and THEN after Phantom Hourglass, a link to the past not sure where link's awakening fits in cuz i didnt play it

  • they completely left out the first four swords game. wtf?

  • how does link go from being a teenager in zelda 2 to a kid in four swords adventures?

  • The problem with minish cap being the first is that moblins are in the game, which are the pig-soldiers ganon created in his image. Ganon is not in the game, so having the moblins wouldn't make much sense. However, according to Four Sword's Adventures Wikipedia page, Vaati "furthered his [Ganon's] plans by creating monsters to add to his army," which might suggest that Vaati is able to create moblins (as though his has known about Ganon all along...hmm).

  • I think this theory is right. Twilight Princess does fit into that line because every one hundred years a male in the Gerudo tribe is born. So the Ganon in the Wind Waker is a different Ganon because Ganon died in Twilight Princess.

  • hmm it all makes sense but in twilight if you notice a skull warrior teaches link some fighting styles which means that in twilight link in the beggining doesnt have experience with a sword and its after the ocarina of time.

    also i noticed something in smb (melee) the temple is in the sky, i ask why?

  • I think my head exploded.

  • Makes sence...continue it!!!

  • Well, it is quite obvious that some Zelda games to link to eachother. And we cannot be too sure until the final game is made.

  • it isn't true the split timeline doesn't make sense because the ocarina does't exists because zeelda kept it in hyrule b but then zelda gave it to link in the pas t

  • Ok here's what happens. Link gives Zelda the ocarina in the future. She then sends him back to before the game began. This results in two of everything existing, two Master swords, two Zeldas, and two Ocarinas.

  • there isnt an actual timeline. nintendo wanted to make new zeldas without a timeline, so they did. there IS NO timeline.

  • This makes sense to me!

  • also i just remembered that in zelda2 the adv of link the towns are named after the sages in the adult timeline so the first two games must take place in hyrule B after the great sea is drained and the land is restored

  • I have always been a split timeline supporter and i agree with most of the order except for a few games after the split hyrule A has majora's mask then Twilight Princess and hyrule B has of course Wind Waker so hyrule A has most of the games in the series telling that timeline's story but untill nintendo confirms this it will still be just a theory

  • IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.

  • Here are the real timelines;

    #1: The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

    #2: A link to the Past, Link's Awakening

    #3: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks

    #4: Twilight Princess (the best one!)

    You see, with A Link to the Past they started over, retold the original LoZ story, made it more complex and epic. OoT then retold ALttP, and Twilight Princess retold the classic tale yet again, taking themes and ideas from ALttP, OoT and WW.

  • The capcom games don't count. I'm not saying they aren't fun games, but Capcom didn't know what they were doing as far as fitting them in with the timeline of other Zelda games.

  • i think nintendo is finishing up the second one then they are snaping it back togather :I

  • Most confusing thing ever. I beleive in the split timeline now. Thank you for enlightening me.

  • he ending of TP is link kills gannon and he also loses his peice of the triforse  :D

  • Zelda TP takes place 100 years after OOT.

  • Teamaqua: What the F*** are you talking about? Not only is it stated by Anouma that TP happens on a separate timeline from WW! Also the picori sword is the four sword it states that in the game!

  • ....tp happens after ww yes, and there is an actual timeline in two of nintendos computers people! so yes nintendo does know what they are doing and whats a zelda game without the old rival ganondorf? honestly i think it wouldnt be as good xD

  • Okay this timeline is s***!

    Any dope that has a clue about the timeline would know that TP is on a seperate timeline from WW. Also the oracles have to occur on the same line. Link's awakening is also not the sequel to MM. Uh this is just a travesty!

  • not to mention the four sword cant be the piccori sword since gustav was one person and it never mentions that he was split into four.

  • i agree this is really bad

    MM has no connection to LA

    and TP is seperate from WW

  • i don't think nintendo has a grand scheme they just make games!

  • this is soooooooo confusing but more games makes more confusion. they should make a game where darkness completely destroy hyrule. then link has a final battle between him n ganondorf, but if he wins, ganondorf will b completely destroyed bu new enemies com as his apprentice. but wat do i know, im just a real zelda player with ideas.....XD

  • That.. was... awesome!

  • Personally, I think Miyamoto's timeline is just a rough timeline and he's just retconning the details.

  • Jesus fucking Christ.

    I think a little part of my brain just died from all the information.

  • Wow, amazing! What about Spirit Tracks?

  • doesnt tp happen after ww

  • No, some theroies says that in the next game after Tilight princess, Hyrule drowns in water. And THEN ww :).

  • ok so when does the new game come out?

  • but in the begginig of ww it tells what happend to link in oot and not tp

  • It states that he destroyed the great evil and then left. That sounds like what happened in OOT's adult ending.

  • I don't think that OoA/S play in two different dimensions or timelines, just in two different lands, Holdrum and Labyrnna. The player decides which goes first. The backgrounds are just dramatization, or Link travels TWICE to Hyrule castle from different sides, once from the forest and the from the other side out of the land he saved in the opposing game.

  • dude until nintendo actually decides to make a timeline everyone is just guessing. the minish cap explains how hyrule became the kingdom of hyrule so how could ocarina come first if there was no kingdom, your theory fails not even 2 minutes in. no flaws huh? yeahhhh. yep thats what i wrote to ocarinahero10, for thinking he can have the only opinion.

  • Hey man don't you have a life? The creator of this timeline said it is a theory of his. He did an enjoyable job, just walk on if you don't like it.

  • maltocort if you read what i wrote you would understand i was talking about ocarinahero10s timeline and not this one, which i clearly state more then once. so yeahh you might wanna read the whole thing and not just skim through it. whats even more ironic is i state i like this time line on this page.

  • i mean you start of with a retarded rant about a video game, that was enough for me to know this was nothing more then another youtube idiot that doesnt know what he's talking about like you stated haha. so you did your homework on what sheer what ifs,

  • and what made it funny was you go on to say I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, what do you work for nintendo, i mean did you ever at least shake Shigeru Miyamoto hand, i didnt think so either. i mean at least game trailers put together a really good concept of a what if scenario, your over here trying to state facts that cant be stated, are you jesus or something man.

  • but when you look at it instead of over analyze it like you did, minish cap makes more sense to be first not because link gets his hat but because it shows the first king of hyrule Gustav, which would most likely mean there wasnt a kingdom of hyrule before that which would more then mean no reason for a link to appear to defend a kingdom that doesnt exist.

  • haha your funny dude, let me guess your the type of guy who thinks playing guitar hero makes him good at a real guitar, yep your that type of guy. look nobody knows the actuall time line, hell not even nintendo knows. thats why the other guy told you this is all based on there data not a actuall fact,

  • people dont even bother looking at ocarinahero10's time line its a waste of time. this is by far the best timeline i have ever scene it actually makes sense not like ocarinahero10's. this one at least was well put together.

  • go look up ocarinahero10 he has a video with the real timeline

  • Links awakening is after

    Ages/Seasons and if this dude actully played these games he would realize that they are symtously after each other. And if you finished the linked game you see link leaveing on a raft.

  • wow its so intresting but so confuseing on the story line.

  • I'm so confused @_@

  • 6:15 LOL prince is my avatar :D

  • well doesn't the original zelda start with him being told to go save her? and a link to the past is definatly an new link.

  • This is the best timeline i have seen

  • I noticed something. in majora's mask, it shows a flashback to zelda giving link from the future the ocarina. this means that she does not have the ocarina and cannot give it to link of the present. this link cannot proceed to enter the temple of time and ganon never unleashes his evil plan. this link never appears or crosses paths with link from the future. wouldn't he ever try to stop any of the impending evils that appear in that timeline?

  • My brain just shit itself.

  • now i want to go play through the series. thanks!

  • but heres the thing... if minish caps pikiri sword has a blue hilt then its NOT the master sword since the master sword has a green hilt, i havent noticed anything yet however

  • dude you got mixed up.the picori blade is green and the master sword is blue.

  • OMG TWILIGHT PRINCESS TAKES PLACE AFTER SEASONS AND AGES IT RE UNITES THE TIMELINE!!!! think about it...

  • new Link, new Zelda, old Ganondwarf, in Seasons and Ages they were trying to reserect him and failed Zant, however, succeeded so either way this event would have happened the exact same way in both timelines which means it re-connects everything

  • AAAANNNNDDD if you notice the Howl Stones in TP (lol T.P. is toilet paper) have songs from previous Zelda games which means it was already written and recorded/remembered, Song of Healing ect.

  • Linearists FOREVER!!!!

  • 2:22 into the vid and you already have it wrong, ocarina of time was the first game chronologicly wise, the creator of zelda said so himself in an interview for e3 i believe

  • Also, the creators said that Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are parallels.

    Another thing, WW and MM can't go on separate timelines because The King of Red Lions told the Hero of Winds about the journey the Hero of Time embarked on after defeating Ganon. So, how could the King of Red Lions know about something that never happened in their timeline? Well, he couldn't.

  • didn't he say young link would have told the king about his adventure when zelda returned him to the past?

  • The creators said they care more about improving the experience of the game than how the storyline links together. However, this doesn't mean they don't have one. Based on the comments by Miyamoto and Aonuma that I've read, the timeline is:

    MM:WW:PH:MC:FS:FSA:OA

    OT<

    TP:LP:LZ:AL:LA:OS

    So, it is split and; yes, it does exist. Aonuma has even said that they have a "huge document" that details how the stories link together. I was one that made up a single timeline, but that is no longer the case.

  • Comment removed

  • they should so make this into a story or a comic or even a movie a good movie

  • Hasnt anyone ever considered that there isnt really a timeline linking ALL the games? Fair enough, Ocarina of Time could link to MM/WW if you thought about it enough, and some ore obvious sequels (WW-PHG), but the series is called The LEGEND of Zelda. LEGENDs are stories retold again and again in different ways, often linked only by elements - in this case, A hero, A princess and a baddie (Usually Gannon). Much like the legends of King Arthur- same stories told in many different ways!

  • but they explained the legend of zelda, remember? it was told in zelda 2.

  • yep, some are obvious sequels as i said, but generally they're same story of good vs evil told in different ways, as in a Legend.

  • true dat

  • I DON'T know to choose between ocarinahero10s video or this on because they both make sense
