THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: EXTENDED TIMELINE THEORY
First of all I want to add,
that this theory is standing on my expirience of the games and some facts I found around the internet from
fans that I agreed on and it is combined with the official timeline that
Nintendo has offered over the years.
Let’s get into the additions:
The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link (Story #1 in the Child Era)
This fan-made game, doesn’t
need any explanation why it's there. If you have played it, you know. If you haven’t,
PLAY IT.
The Legend of Zelda: Dawn and Dusk (Story #3 in the Child Era)
Another fan-made game, that
takes place in a forgotten kingdom that is far away from Hyrule. Link in that
story isn't the recarnation of the Hero but a descendant of a Prince of that
land. I put it there because it fits in the whole "Dark vibe" there
is in "Child Era" after Hero of Time visited Termina, or the Dark
Hyrule of the Twilight Princess but really it could fit anywhere to be honest.
The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors (Story #1 in the Unified Timeline)
Hyrule Warriors has a place in
the Zelda timeline in my opinion. It solves the parallel universe problem, by
unifying into the one and single universe that Breath of the Wild takes place
at the moment. Yes its story may be confusing at moments and leaving many
questions to the player-viewer, but the existence of characters from all three
timeline branches (Adult, Child, Hero is Defeated) means that regardless of the
timeline, everything was leading up to this turning point.
PLUS, Hyrule Warriors sequel
being an official timeline game that works as a prequel to Breath of the Wild,
seems like Nintendo is backtracking to make Hyrule Warriors franchise
official-timeline title. Like they did at some point with Triforce Heroes.
The Legend of Zelda: Candence of Hyrule (Story #2 in the Unified
Timeline)
Well it’s here where things
are tricky for me. Since this is a title I haven’t played yet (I am waiting for
the physical release), I had to search about it online from fan’s theories. The
one that came as close as it could, was that Candence of Hyrule is a prequel to
Breath of the Wild, because we can see the Sheikah technology all over Hyrule.
The only moment that happens in Zelda Universe is in the Unified timeline,
before Breath of the Wild. Maybe I will change opinion on that later, but so
far it is the only satisfying answer I could get.
