Nintendo Releases Updated Legend of Zelda Timeline for 40Th Anniversary

Nintendo Releases Updated Legend of Zelda Timeline for 40Th Anniversaryに関する注目トピックを分かりやすく解説します。最新情報を求める方は必見です。

They moved Skyward Sword to the very beginning, which always made sense. It’s the origin story, the “first pancake” of the series. And they clarified that Four Swords Adventures isn’t connected to the other Four Swords games in a way that would break your brain. Honestly, the biggest shock is that they didn’t reveal a hidden 37th branch where Link works at a Cucco farm.

But here’s the fun part: the timeline still doesn’t really matter. You can play Ocarina of Time and then Wind Waker and feel the connection. You can play Breath of the Wild without knowing which timeline it’s in because you’re too busy trying to catch a horse. It’s like the credits on a movie—nice to know, but you already got the emotional payoff.

Updated Legend Of Zelda Timeline Shows Placing For Breath Of The Wild

Why this makes me smile: it’s a gift for the inner child.

When I was ten, I drew my own timeline on notebook paper. It included a kingdom made of pizza and a boss named “Plumber King.” Nintendo’s official one is slightly better, but the spirit is the same. It’s a way of saying, “We see you. We care about this weird kingdom too.” The updated chart is basically a giant digital hug for anyone who’s ever yelled at a Sheikah Stone.

So go ahead. Read the official timeline. Nod along when it says Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are part of the same thread, even if you don’t fully recall which one had the dancing Goron. The important thing is that the timeline exists, it’s final, and you can now win any argument with a friend by pulling it up on your phone. Just don’t mention the CD-i games. We don’t talk about those.

Happy 40th, Link. Thanks for never fixing the drawer, but for finally giving us the key.
