errrm i could do it later, ive beaten everyone except for TP (cos i dont have a wii  :cry2:)

... or i could spend 5 seconds searching wikipedia

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a list of the Nintendo-published games in order of their first release, with their release years (in parentheses), along with any additional information about their placement in the timeline.

    * The Legend of Zelda (FDS: 1986, NES: 1987, FC: 1994, GCN: 2002 (AC), 2003 (CE), GBA: 2004, VC: 2006)

    This is the first game of the series. In this game, Ganon is in his pig-like beast form. According to the instruction manual and the official website, shortly before the beginning of the game, Ganon broke free from the Dark World,[32] and his army attacked Hyrule, stole the Triforce of Power, and captured the ruling Princess Zelda, but not before she had time to break up and hide the Triforce of Wisdom.[33]

    * Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (FDS: 1987, NES: 1988, GCN: 2003 (CE), GBA: 2004, VC: 2007)

    According to its instruction manual, it takes place "several seasons" after the first game, and features the same Link, but a different Zelda. Moreover, the story references Ganon's destruction by Link in the first game. The game's back-story also references an old legend of Hyrule. According to it, long ago, a prince of Hyrule should have inherited the Triforce after the king's death, but he only obtained part of it. Indeed, his sister, Princess Zelda, let him keep the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom, but the late king hid the Triforce of Courage. The prince and a magician questioned Zelda, but she refused to reveal the location of the last piece of the Triforce. In anger, the magician cast an eternal sleeping spell on Zelda, before dying himself. In grief, the prince ordered that all future girls of the royal family be named Zelda.[34] The previous historical Zelda who hid the Triforce of Courage is still asleep at the beginning of the game, and is awakened by Link after he retrieves the Triforce of Courage at the end of the story. This Princess Zelda is not the same one rescued by Link in the first The Legend of Zelda game. The events of this legend were never mentioned in any other games of the series.

    * The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SFC: 1991, SNES: 1992, BS: 1997, GBA: 2002 (FS), VC: 2006)

    This is the first of many Zelda games to have Hyrule's history told within the game, and the first in which Ganon's real name, Ganondorf, is revealed. During this game, Ganon is in his demonic form, and sealed in the "Golden Land" (more commonly known as the Sacred Realm)[35] with the Triforce. The game's instruction manual tells how all three pieces of the Triforce were originally hidden in the Golden Land. One day long ago, it was found by Ganondorf the Thief, and it granted his evil wish for a monstrous army to attack Hyrule. While the Knights of Hyrule defended the land, the Seven Sages created a magic seal to close off the Golden Realm.[36] The game itself revolves around Ganon's ultimately-successful attempt to break the Sages' seal. Princess Zelda alerts Link to this, and Link goes on a quest to find the Master Sword (its first named appearance in the series), then defeats Ganon to reclaim the Triforce, using various means to travel between Hyrule and the Golden Land (now called the Dark World) during his efforts.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening/DX (GB: 1993, GBC: 1998 (DX))

    In this installment, Link shipwrecks on Koholint Island while on his journey. He finds he has lost his equipment, and the only way he can leave the island is to find and wake a creature of great power called the Wind Fish.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Master Quest (N64: 1998, GCN: 2002 (MQ), 2003 (CE), iQue: 2003, VC: 2007)

    After its release, this game was confirmed by Shigeru Miyamoto as the first in the series' continuity at the time.[37] At the beginning of the game, Ganondorf, the king of the Gerudo tribe, has not yet gained the Triforce, though he does possess magical powers. As the game progresses, Ganondorf follows Link into the Sacred Realm and, as Link pulls the Master Sword from its pedestal, he appears, telling Link he will rule Hyrule as a result of Link giving him access to the Sacred Realm. Link is then promptly put into suspended animation for seven years, until he is "of age" to wield the Master Sword. In the meantime, Ganondorf finds the Triforce, but because his heart is not balanced, it divides into its three pieces: Power, Wisdom, and Courage. Ganondorf retains the Triforce of Power, and uses it to take over and rule Hyrule for seven years. When Link wakes seven years later, he eventually awakens the Seven Sages and defeats Ganondorf, the Sages then sealing him in the Sacred Realm.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64: 2000, GCN: 2003 (CE))

    This game takes place after the events of Ocarina of Time, and stars the same Link, after returning to his youth. While traveling, he is attacked by a Skull Kid and accidentally enters a parallel world called Termina, which is going to be destroyed by a falling moon in three days. Link must relive the same three days repeatedly while trying to undo the events created by the Skull Kid through the power of Majora's Mask, and find a way to stop the impending apocalypse.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (GBC: 2001) and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC: 2001)

    These games are connected via a password system, and one takes place immediately after the other. They can be played and regarded in either order. The Twinrova sisters from Ocarina of Time appear in these games, and plot to resurrect Ganon.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (GBA: 2002)

    The versions of Link and Princess Zelda featured in this game are childhood friends. This is the first game in which Vaati and the Four Sword appear. According to an interview, Eiji Aonuma, a major designer and the director of many games in the Zelda series, considered this game to be the oldest in the timeline, implying that both this and The Minish Cap occur earlier than Ocarina of Time.[citation needed]

    * The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GCN: 2002)

    This game takes place hundreds of years after Ocarina of Time.[citation needed] Hyrule has been lost for centuries, and now all that remains of its civilization are a few scattered islands on the Great Sea. Halfway through The Wind Waker, the Link and Zelda from this game discover they are the successors to their counterparts in the old kingdom of Hyrule (now drowned beneath the Great Sea). It is revealed in dialogue between survivors of Hyrule that the Link of The Wind Waker is not related to the Hero of Time, the Link of Ocarina of Time; however, later on in the game, he is referred to as the "Hero of Winds".

    * The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (GCN: 2004)

    This game tells the story of how Ganondorf obtains the power of an ancient trident and becomes the demon, Ganon.

    * The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA: 2004)

    This game involves the origins of the Four Sword, as well as Vaati, the primary antagonist.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii: 2006, GCN: 2006)

    This game takes place at least a hundred years after Ocarina of Time.[38] In an interview with Japan's Nintendo Dream Magazine, Aonuma stated that Twilight Princess occurs in a "parallel" world to The Wind Waker, following an alternate timeline[2] in which Ganondorf does not take over Hyrule, and is instead sentenced to execution following the conclusion of Ocarina of Time.

    * The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS: 2007)

    This game has been released in Japan and North America, and was released in Australia on October 11, 2007,[39] and Europe on October 19, 2007.[40] It is set after The Wind Waker and in the same setting, where Link must rescue Tetra after she is captured by a ghost ship.

The creators maintain that the series has a set timeline, however due to debates over the available information the timeline continues to be disputed. Miyamoto stated in a 2003 interview that there is a master document detailing the timeline.[41] Eiji Aonuma has also stated in a July 2007 video interview that there is such a document on his PC, and that this document is considered confidential.[42] According to this interview, development of a Zelda title can commence without the team knowing in advance where exactly the title will fit into the timeline; but by the time the title is finished, its placement in the timeline will be determined. However, this document has not been seen publicly, and there is little other proof of its existence.

*kind of Agrees with Ken*
I think the SNES zelda is the second

Link to the past....
Got to go at the end of the timeline right?

Minish Cap
(How link got his Hat, and going on about the kikori sword being remade (which young link uses in OoT))

Link to the past
(the map is similar to OoT but there aren't the Gorons, Zoras etc yet (i think not evolved yet))

Ocarina of Time (young link part)

Majoras Mask (during the 7 years link "missed")

Ocarina of Time (older link part)

Wind Waker (After Ganon returned from link killing him the land got flooded)

Phantom Hourglass (I haven't played it yet(waiting for my super card :3) It involves a boat, boat means open water, concluesion = hyrule still flooded)

Links Awakening (He is on a boat at the begining and End (not alot of open water on other maps so i assume hyrule is still flooded))

Legend of Zelda (NES) got to go somewhere :P

Zelda II (NES) (comes after)

Oracle of ages / seasons (first 1 you play is the first out of the 2 in the timeline)


If i am wrong then...
They are Games, doesn't really matter :P



I think the Zelda timeline is the greatest Zelda puzzle of them all.

Have no shame in being kindly and gentle, but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret. In the time of your life, live so that, in that wonderous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.
