Before I begin to get on-topic here I have to warn you that this is NOT the topic you want to see if you don't want spoilers for any Zelda-game!

I found this a while ago (and Rekubot reminded me about it just a moment ago) and it seems like a good theory of the Zelda timeline but what do you think about the Zelda-timeline? Do you think this is a good theory? I like it anyway but I'll change it a little to make it fit better (well, in my brain anyway).

Edit: You will not understand a thing of this if you have'nt watched that vid.

The beginning of the timeline seems good with OoT and Minish Cap and it looks really good further on too, but I don't see how it fits that Ganon would'nt have been sealed away in "Hyrule A"... After all one of the main things in "A link to the past" is Ganon trying to break the seal..

And I think the Oracle-games would both fit better at the end of "Hyrule A" instead of one at each timeline.

And what to do with TP? I'm almost sure it fits best just where these guys put it, between WW (Wind Waker) and OoT. ("Hyrule B") Why?: After the events of OoT Hyrule city is ruined and the Hylians move somewhere else (Hyrule Market in TP) and some new people move to a place not so far from the ruins of the old Hyrule City, the ordonians. And with the Temple of Time ruined the Master Sword rests in its little stone in the Faron Woods... Ganon (he really dies, right?) somehow resurrects himself some time after TP and the Master Sword is moved to the place it is in WW (under Hyrule Castle) so the Royal Family easier can help the hero get the Master Sword. But since no hero comes, the gods are forced to drown Hyrule and so the sea of WW is born..

Hope anything of what I write makes any sense at all... What are your theories about this?

Okay, here's my timeline. (note: I've only played, OoT, MM, TP, and WW)

1. Creation of Hyrule
2. Twili wars
3. The Fierce Deity creates Majora's mask.
several centuries later
4. The events of Ocarina of Time. Ganondorf is sealed inside a pocket dimension, Link's a hero, and all is as it should be.
5. Possibly only several months after Ooc ends, Majora's Mask begins. Link saves Termina, all is as it should be, blah blah blah.
6. Link leaves Termina and is never seen again.
roughly a century later
7. Humans colonize more of Hyrule. Gerudos are extinct. (As far as we can tell)
8. A second Temple of Time is built in the sacred grove to prevent what Ganon did in OoT from happening again. The Master Sword is put there as well.
9.Ganondorf is released, executed, sealed in Twilight realm
10. The Hero of Time is reborn in this Link.
11. Link saves Hyrule again, Midna shatters the Mirror of Twilight for good. Ganondorf dies.
several centuries later
12. Ganon is resurrected and wages a second war to take over Hyrule. The Hero isn't reincarnated, so the gods flood Hyrule
several centuries later
13. The events of Wind Waker take place. Ganon is presumably dead.
14. Phantom Hourglass

Phew! That's a lot of stuff. Enjoy

That was a good one... Just missing a few games but very good... Maybe I sohuld try to organize mine a little. For now I'll just focus on "Hyrule B" as those who made that video call it. I'll do "A" later.

1.The dark magicians (those who created the Fused Shadows) who tried to take over the Sacred Realm are banished to the Twilight Realm.
2.Ocarina of Time, Ganon is sealed in the Sacred Realm, Hyrule City is ruined and the Hylians that lived in Kakariko Village decides to make a new City (Hyrule City in TP).
3.The centuries between OoT and TP, forests are "taking over" Hyrule City and the Temple of Time is falling to ruins. The gods create a new "seal" for the Master Sword (the irritating statues you have to move in TP) and another gate to the Sacred Realm (the part of the Temple of Time where the actual "Temple" is in TP). Ordon Village is founded.
4.The Sages bring out Ganon from the Sacred Realm to kill him but gets into the Twilight Realm instead.
5.Zelda TP, Link sets off at his adventure, Ganon dies, Zant dies, Midna destroys the Twilight Mirror.
6.The centuries between TP and WW, years have passed without anything important happen but suddenly the sages sense that evil is rising again, the royal family moves the Master Sword to Hyrule Castle in hope to make things easier for the expected hero.
7.Ganon rise again, a new war starts, Ganon builds his new tower, no hero appear and the gods are forced to drown Hyrule.
8.WW, the new hero sets out on his quest, Ganon dies and so on...
9.Phantom Hourglass.

That should be enough.

Edit: I see our lists look very much the same...
