Wait.
Minish Cap and Four Swords take place before Ocarina, and Link to the Past and the Oracle games have a separate timeline? Huh. I just put Windwaker through Spirit tracks in one timeline and everything else in another. |

Yeah, I thought it was weird too. |
| rafasilva #797089 7 months ago |
A Link to the Past is the result of "The Failure" timeline. If you didn't stop Ganon in Ocarina of Time than you jump into A Link to the Past |

looking forward to Equestria's timeline becoming something like this |
| KWA #797148 7 months ago |
@rafasilva; I thought wind waker was the result of not beating ganon..(since the flood and all) |

I was under the impression that Majora's Mask was just a bad dream, though. Huh, whatever. |

I remember reading about the generally accepted theory about Ocarina's split timeline a while ago, but I don't remember if it's this one. |

All the post-OoT splits I'd heard about prior to this were two-way splits (future timeline where Link beats Ganon then disappears to the past, past timeline where Link lives out his childhood, MM, etc.). The three-way split surprises me, at any rate. |

^Yeah I agree with you. The "failure timeline" was usually grouped with the adult timeline since the gods flooded Hyrule because of Ganon's dominance and the heroes absence. I guess the gods only flooded it because A) that Link failed or B) they couldn't wait the 7 years and stopped Ganon themselves.
It's kinda like DBZ with the whole Trunks/Cell scenario and the 3 futures there: - one future where the Androids kill everyone and Trunks kills Cell and the Androids - another future where Trunks kills the Androids but is jumped by Cell (who steals his time machine and comes to the main timeline) - the timeline where Gohan kills Cell and the Buu Saga then occurs |

It kinda makes sense when you don't think about it. |
| I_Like_Your_Mane #797557 7 months ago |
I kind of wish Nintendo said there is no real timeline. And that'd be that. |
| Anonymous #797583 7 months ago |
Quite simple, really.
We thought it was: Link from Universe A goes to Universe B and returns to Universe A, but it's actually: Link from Universe A goes to Universe B and then gets sent to Universe C. Universe A was left with Ganon still alive and he starts the war that was mentioned in the prologue to A Link to the Past, which was won by the Hylians and the Sages because this Ganon didn't have the Triforce yet, he only knew it's location. Universe B was fucked because this Ganon actually did have the triforce of power, and everyone was powerless before him, reslting in the flood. Universe C has Link return and call him out on his dickery, completely destroying his plans and didn't manage to form his army and was left with a bunch of bandits that were eventually hunted down. |

I still prefer the gametrailers timeline with only 2 parallel lines ... |
| Anonymous #798810 7 months ago |
Where should the "Wand of Gamelon" and "Faces of Evil" be then? |
| StealthyNinjaGO #799491 7 months ago |
^Non-canon as fuck.
Nintendo refuses to acknowledge they exist. Also, they were made by the developers of the CD-I, Phillips. |

Dammit, Nintendo! You you could just focus on confirming Sheik's physical sex! |
| Anonymous #807479 6 months ago |
Some details got confusing to say the east, but others make sense if you think about it. I'm not gonna post some spoilers here though.
@800569: I can't tell if you're trolling, ignorant or stupid. |

Something I forgot to pick out from these comments from 12 hours ago
@797583: Ganon did have the complete Triforce when he started the Imprisoning War. |
| Xuncu #826537 6 months ago |
Yeah, I just did a run of the lower timeline (hence I've been gone a while).
And yeh, origionally, all the fan-theories were that there was two; Majora's, where Kid Link leaves Hyrule, and the Hyrule military, forewarned, still captures and banishes Ganon in the Twilight Realm and Wind Waker, where Ganon broke the same seal we see cast at the end of OoT, shortly before Zelda sends him back for the last time Based on a comment said that there were two timelines, that origionally said "two" not "multiple" (if I remember right) So, the origional fan theories couldn't quite resolve where the origional games went, so after Skyward Sword, Nintendo now says 3. About a year or so ago, I did hear about how on some Nintendo pc somewhere in Japan, there was a secret doccument that was, for all purposes, THEE Legend of Zelda, where all production notes, ideas for future/past games were, and connections; in other words; I don't think this was arbitrary, but they had been thinking about it for some time, so now's the third timeline, where Ganondorf either got none (ie; Link fails before opening the Door of Time) or all of the Triforce in OoT (presumably the former, since supposedly no hero appeared who could use the Master Sword, and the Hyrule Knights weren't ahnnialated yet, as per Adult Link's timeline), and thus, isn't sealed away; untill the 7 sages (presumably all-human) descendants sealed Ganon after the Imprisoning War, so then LttP, Z1, Z2

@Xuncu: Doesn't explain how Ganon has the complete Triforce before ALttP starts. |
| NeoSilver #850607 6 months ago |
When you think about it, the three way split makes sense. There's one path for each aspect of the Triforce. |

You guys are making me even more confused than the actual timeline in the image is. |
| Anonymous #1451387 1 month ago |
The three-way split makes a lot more narrative sense than the two-way split proposed by fans.
Ganon couldn't have gotten the full Triforce before A Link to the Past if you'd defeated him in Ocarina of Time. |
