Why did Zelda fans insist that there was an overarching timeline for the series? Reading through the Hyrule Historia - it's obviously all nonsense, we'd have been better off without.

  • The timeline is nonsense? No.

  • Of course it is, it's so obvious the games were started as standalone tales, before being stitched together into some sort of timeline, they might as well not have bothered.

  • I actually agree with you Kieran. I always thought for a long time every game was alone. Then because of the intrigue, Nintendo shoehorned everything into a timeline. No biggy to me though.

  • It's not a massive deal, it just ruins it a little bit. I much preferred the idea that it was just retellings of the same legend, each time changing a little bit as it was told by different people.

  • The timeline is full of retconns and is generally just a mess with the way it's split 3 times.

  • Have you watched the Zelda Timeline retrospective on gametrailers.com? It's actually pretty interesting.

  • Honestly, I wish Nintendo would have just kept it a secret and not told us if there was a timeline one way or another. I liked the "mystery" of it!

    Yeahs0
  • I agree with most of the timeline but not all of it.
