Is OOT the first game in the timeline?

[Midna666]

In Ocarina of Time,when you first see the Master Sword,Navi says that the Master Sword is the legendary sword that fights evil.
But if OOT is the first game in the timeline would't she not know what it is?

[chrisbg99]

She was probably told about it by the Deku Tree.

[Skull_Kid]

Havne't you ever heard about prophecies?

[Petman1325]

Here is the deal. Nobody has attempted to enter the Sacred Realm. Only the seven sages reside there, and the Door of Time has yet to be open. The Triforce was in its original, non split state. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess Links were decedents of the Hero of Time, from Ocarina of Time.

[Skull_Kid]

Yeah..But Aonouma already stated that Four Swords(the one for the GBA)was the first tale of the story....

[Petman1325]

That is true...
Yet Ocarina of Time was the first in the Triforce series if you believe in multiple series, of which I don't.

[Skull_Kid]

I don't... What i think is that the Four Swords mini series(this includes the minish cap) is somehow a prelude to OoT

[Midna666]

The Deku Tree is rooted to the earth,so how would he know about the Master Sword?

ummmmm k it is metioned in the wind waker that that link has no blood relation to the hero of time so he is not a desendent of him tp is however

[hoobes1]

I don't think that there is an actual timeline story amongst all the zelda games. The first 2 for the NES have a timeline and OOT and MM also have one together, but i don't think that there is a timeline of all the games put together.

Miyamato has said that they have a master timeline.

[waldo12]

who knows but it does show gano getting the triforce so any other game with ganon must be after but any four swords type game could be before like minsh cap expect for four swords adventure that has ganon

[Mikau94]

I think Skyward Sword is 1st (because it is) and that OoT is 2nd. I am not really sure where Minish Cap fits in.

[ironknuckle1]

No he is not blood related directly but he is related because the island he is born on celebrates a festival where they must here clothes of the hero so by one way or the other he is related to Link from OOT.

Here is the thing about The FSS(four swords saga;mc-fs-fsa) coming before OOT is impossible because Ganondorf had not been changed into ganon through the events of OOT and since the events of OOT were of the original ganondorf(or at least it is portrayed that way) that means the FSS saga most likely comes some time after OOT.

The only possible game i see that could go before OOT is MC. Now i know many of you are going to say things against this but i still see it as at least a possibility. NOW the FSS in my opinion comes some time on the child timeline (mostly because it has no rightful place on the AT since it has no connections except for Force Gems which are used in completely different ways intheir respective games) or before OOT. Now in MC the four sword is laid to rest and so any amount of time could pass between the events of MC and FS. I usually put FS and FSA sometime after Tp onthe child timeline so if you think about it that means that MC could happen any time after TP or anytime before OOT because OOT and MM and TP are direct sequels so MC could not be put between them. Now their is no proof for the placement of MC to be before OOT or for being after TP because MC has connections to either game so in other words it could be placed in either place without it really mattering.

SS is the first in the timeline after that i would say ooT I don't believe MC goes first. I never did.

[PhantomTriforce]

Actually, my opinion is stated in my sig. I believe MC and the FS series go before OoT, and SS in confirmed to be before OoT, as it talks about the MS's birth, the legend spoken of in OoT.

The only thing about that is as i have tried to state that it is hard to place FSA before OOT because OOT is the original story of Ganondorf and because FSA through music and places has a more obvious connection to ALTTP so most likely it goes their but MC is fine before OOT for the reasons in my last post. But the only thing i have to say about SS is that it may go at the front but i dont think anyone needs to be placing it just yet because none of us have played the game and for all we know their could be something that completely debunks the theory of SS as first(even though it most likely is due to developer quotes)

[Simon]

Here's my view. Aonuma saying FS/FSA came before OOT at the time currently means nothing, Nintendo official statements so far have often been completely contradictory. Also, I don't believe FS/FSA or MC come before OOT nor do I believe FSA is near Alttp, the similar art styles only occur because FS was bundled with Alttp on the GBA. Also, in WW Link's grandmother mentions the tradition of hanging the FAMILY shield on the wall. Later, when you obtain the shield, the text says it was supposedly the shield the Hero of Time used.

[TreeHuggerPanda]

The beauty of theorizing...:lol:

It's the matter of opinion. OoT is, imo, the second game in my timeline (first being SS). Just choose which theory that seems most liable to you, and piece together the timeline from there.

I understand your point up to one thing and i understand why you place FSA where it is except for that the reason that it should be near ALTTP is not because of FS. It is because of it being the same map, their being remixed ALTTP songs in FSA, and that GAnon from ALTTP and FSA seem to be the same and that the ALTTP Ganon has the same trident as the FSA ganon did.

[benjibibbles]

Since Aonuma says that SS comes before OoT I assume SS comes first in the timeline. After that I believe you have MC the OoT then the face melting universe split.

[Hylian Knight]

I don't believe that OoT was first and this is why the Sages built the ToT right and I think the ToT a covering for the master sword which Link placed back at the pedestal of time at the of his ALttP adventure.

Hmmm.. IMO the pedestal of time is what is left of the ToT after 100s of 100s of years (also see the state of the ToT in TP).

[Aero_Dynamic]

Aonuma stated that Skyward Sword is the first, so Ocarina of Time is no longer the first in the timeline it seems.

[kindlyone]

i could never tell in all this confusing timeline stuff all i know s that PH is b4 ST

[Zemen]

Aonuma stated that Skyward Sword is the first, so Ocarina of Time is no longer the first in the timeline it seems.

From what we know, SS is supposed to be first in the timeline. Even if that wasn't stated, do a quick thread search and you will TONS of threads about OoT being first or not.
