The Legend of Zelda timeline

[Marlem]

There has been alot of debating about the order of the Legend of Zelda timeline (in chronological order depending of the events in the game). Now, we shall join the fray. I want your opinion about it and maybe you can solve it somewhat. There's even a video on it.

Warning. Contains alot of swearing.

Spoiler

I think Nintendo released an official Zelda timeline.
It's pretty interesting.

 

[Shinyshark]

He's gonna take you back to the past

 

[Awwwyea]

Fucking loved that episode.

AVGN. Too much chaos for me to handle, which I why I don't watch him.

But, Zelda timeline... I remember myself thinking about that around the time Minish Cap was released.

There's one thing I know for sure, though;

The first Zelda game, on the NES, is the last in the timeline.

... Or was.

Actually, the first Zelda game isn't the last in the timeline since it has a sequel, Adventure of Link.

Zelda II: Adventure of Link is not a direct sequel to Zelda, actually. It takes place in a different time.

"That's right and now everything's great and it's almost my 16th birthday."

Intro.

Your theory is invalid.

You were not told Link's age in the first game.

 

[Marlem]

You were not told Link's age in the first game.

It says that he grows and is about to become 16, so therefore, it means that he was younger in the first game. Although we were not told his exact age.

Right.

Well, apparently, that's after Zelda, but quite some time. I didn't exactly play the game, so how did Zelda become asleep, and for how long?

It's widely specualted to be an entirely different Zelda than the one Link rescued in the first game and this one's been asleep for milleniums having been the target of a sleeping spell.

... After playing Apollo Justice, and still currently playing Apollo Justice, I feel the need to announce--

HOLD IT!

If Zelda has been sleeping for millenniums, doesn't that mean it cannot be a sequel to the first game? If Link actually defeats Ganon and saves Zelda in the first game, and Zelda is suddenly asleep in the second game for many, many years, wouldn't that mean they're on two different planes of time?

Ah, sorry.

Hm... I can't say I like that speculation.
