This was being discussed in the Zelda thread earlier so I thought I'd make a thread for it. Especially since GameTrailers just released Part 6 of the Retrospective which was their theory to the timeline. I'll write it here so it's easier to follow for those who watch it.
-The 3 Goddesses; Din, Nayru, Farore; create Hyrule. In the sacred realm, they leave the Triforce. The 7 Sages are formed and created the temples (Time, Forest, Fire, etc.) and Master Sword to protect the Triforce. (Prologue of OoT)
-The races of Hyrule start a war searching out for the Triforce. The Minish created the Picori Sword and gave it to Gustal to end the war. Gustal becomes the first King of Hyrule. The Picori/Four Sword is placed in a pedestal and ever 100 years a tournament is held in which the winner touches the sword. (Prologue MC).
-The actual Legend of Zelda (not the game). The Legend says that the King of Hyrule's son, the Prince, desired the Triforce. An evil wizard told the Prince that his younger sister, Princess Zelda, knew of its whereabouts. Zelda refuses and the Wizard puts Zelda into a deep sleep, which kills the Wizard int he process. The Prince moves Zelda to the North Castle altar and declared that every daughter born into the royal family be named Zelda. (Prologue Zelda II).
-Events of Minish Cap (Gustal is the Hero of Man, not Time). He wore a green tunic but no hat. Ezlo gives Link in MC a cap at the end of the game).
-Events of Ocarina of Time. (Features first appearance of Ganon, the King does not know of his evil intentions beforehand).
SPLIT TIMELINE
There are 2 endings to Ocarina of Time.
"Hyrule A" is when Link is sent back as a child before he met Zelda.
"Hyrule B" is the Hyrule Link left behind when he was sent back. This Hyrule has an adult Zelda and a sealed Ganon, but no Link.
HYRULE A TIMELINE:
-Hyrule A begins with Link and Zelda meeting and telling the King of Ganondorf's plans. Link leaves Hyrule before the war and searches for Navi who left him in the Temple of Time. This leads to...
-Events of Majora's Mask.
-Events of Link's Awakening (After saving Termina, Link attempts to return to Hyrule, via sea. Gets shipwrecked.)
-Events of Legend of Zelda (Link returns to Hyrule and finds Ganon won the war and gained Triforce of Power. Zelda spits her Triforce of Wisdom which Link must collect. During Link's absence, the people of Hyrule move north which explains why there are no towns in LoZ).
-Events of Legend of Zelda II (Sleeping Zelda is the original Princess Zelda from the Legend. Link finds Triforce of Courage.)
-Events of Four Swords Adventure (Features new Zelda and Link. Introduces Vaati. Ganon is revealed as Vaati's puppet Master. Ganon acquires Trident of Power.)
-Events of Link to the Past (After FSA because Ganon uses Trident.)
-Events of Oracle of Ages/Seasons (Assuming past games re-set Triforce. Link checks on Triforce. Deals with someone attempting to resurrect Ganon. Is a parallel to Oracle of Ages/Seasons in Hyrule B).
HYRULE B TIMELINE:
-Hyrule B is under the assumption Link told the King of his adventure as an adult in OoT. This is passed down as a legend, not a historical occurrence. Ganon breaks his seal and starts a war for Hyrule.
-Great Flood
-Events of Wind Waker (Ganon retains Triforce of Power. Tetra, Zelda's descendant, retains Triforce of Wisdom. A new Link has to find Trifoce of Courage.)
-Events of Phantom Hourglass (fits in timeline provided Ganon is not resurrected and the Triforce goes undisturbed).
-Events of Orcale of Ages/Seaons (Assuming past games re-set Triforce. Link checks on Triforce. Deals with someone attempting to resurrect Ganon, Takes place parallel to events of Oracle of Ages/Seaons).
Twilight Princess is not in the timeline because no one has completed it and it could ultimately disprove this and any other theories.
