The Zelda timeline is a strange thing to try and understand. It's infamous at this point, due to a proper timeline never existing. This is because originally, the games weren't directly tied to one another. As time went on, fans began to want more from the franchise, and thus the timeline finally came into existence.

It's still not perfect, as many games don't fit properly, and those that do rarely make direct reference to the games that came before them, but a loose fitting timeline does exist, and we decided that with a new Zelda coming out, and tons of footage of it available, we would try and figure out where this one exists on the Zelda Timeline!
