The Legend of Zelda: the official timeline
by ludoFile
Every mainline Zelda in the order Nintendo places them, from Skyward Sword down through the three-way split after Ocarina of Time. Follows Hyrule Historia as revised by the 2018 Zelda Encyclopedia; Breath of the Wild sits after all three branches, where Nintendo put it. Echoes of Wisdom has no official placement yet.
