Contradiction
"THE ADULT ENDING TIMELINE. All games in this timeline take place after the ending in OoT in which Link saves Hyrule but travels back in time and is never seen again."

"TP Link is a direct descendant of OoT Link, as indicated by Link's father (the dead swordsman), which also implies the reason that OoT Link "left Hyrule" was to be with Malon, as Ordon's relative location on the map is where Lon Lon Ranch used to be, which is now outside of the new boundaries of Hyrule."

If OoT Link left Hyrule to be with Malon and TP Link is their son, that would put TP in Child ending.


 * I second that, I actually have a quote from Aonuma to prove it


 * –When does Twilight Princess take place?


 * Aonuma: In the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years later.


 * –And the Wind Waker?


 * Aonuma: The Wind Waker is parallel. In Ocarina of Time, Link flew seven years in time, he beat Ganon and went back to being a kid, remember? Twilight Princess takes place in the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years after the peace returned to kid Link’s time. In the last scene of Ocarina of Time, kids Link and Zelda have a little talk, and as a consequence of that talk, their relationship with Ganon takes a whole new direction. In the middle of this game [Twilight Princess], there's a scene showing Ganon's execution. It was decided that Ganon be executed because he'd do something outrageous if they left him be. That scene takes place several years after Ocarina of Time. Ganon was sent to another world and now he wants to obtain the power...

 * I'm going to take the liberty to edit the article to reflect that.


 * EDIT: Oh right there's this old quote too... If I remember correctly, Aonuma said that TP was between OoT and WW a few years before the release of the game, however my quote is dated after the game actual release... I'm going to try to find the exact dates.

This Timeline is Horribly Wrong.
Just letting you know, I know for a fact what you have up is pretty inaccurate based on what Eiji Aonuma said last month to me.

I don't know about that, I was talking to Shigeru Miyamoto the other day and he told me this timeline was pretty accurate. Then he showed me his magical unicorns and we road off to visit Tingle. -- Oddity 03:02, 18 Oct 2005 (CDT)

Great Timeline

 * Quite a good read and cleared up a lot, however I wasn't too fond of some of your wording, the author could've been a bit more professional about it. Either way, nice job! -- Guest

Thanks, but we're not professionals or journalists, we're just fans. If you're looking for an attempt at scholarly objectivity, why don't you try Wikipedia? XD Unless you mean something else by "wording"? --JSC 20:11, 28 August 2006 (PDT)

Still accurate?
A while ago this timeline would've been spot-on... but I notice that the theory gaining ground lately is that The Minish Cap is actually the first game in the series. (It would go something like TMC-FS-OOT-MM-Oracles-TP-WW-FSA-LttP-LA-NES. whew)

Sounds crazy I know, but as I play Twilight Princess and think more and more about it... I dunno, I don't want to give things away but it sounds very possible. Could we add another section considering this other, very popular theory? --JSC 20:13, 29 November 2006 (PST)

This timeline is Garbage
Not only is it loaded with nonsense and horrible inaccuracies, it states numerous things as fact or "obvious" which aren't at all, and is pretty much just a moronic theory. It's neither informative nor accurate, and it's heavily biased towards a single, massively contradictory idea of game placements.

A lot of assumptions in this article, some contradicting in-game evidence and interviews.
I'm going to rewrite it, there are too many assumptions used by the original author (like FS and FSA link being the same? Really? I want a quote to prove that D:) Steelskin 17:09, January 23, 2010 (UTC) Done, I replaced FS in the beginning (sadly I can't find the quote from Aonuma stating that was the first game in the series), I think we should move the games starting with FSA in their own section since the link with WW is very weak (even though I personally quite like the idea). TIME TO FLAME AND TROLL ABOUT THE TIMELINE YAY! Steelskin 17:40, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
