After 27 years, my thoughts on the Zelda timeline have finally been confirmed. One simply didn’t exist for a while, and later on Nintendo “made one up” to piece the series together. How much later on is unknown. It could very well have been right before they pieced together Hyrule Historia. It’s also possible they started doing so around the time The Wind Waker came out, when things started to get more complex, to connect the games together. All of this is according to Takashi Tezuka, who has been with the Zelda series along with Miyamoto since the very beginning (no, Eiji Aonuma was not with the series from the start. Only Tezuka and Miyamoto bear that honor). He was also the head man on Link’s Awakening, and there has always been a prevailing thought he should get the chance to be the head man on a Zelda title again.

GameTrailers had the chance to talk to him, and now it’s been doubly confirmed by Mike Damiani, most famously known among Zelda fans as being one of the top Zelda speedrunners to ever play the games. He now works at GameTrailers and has tweeted the long awaited answer to if the Timeline was truly always present as we were lead to believe. This is probably some of the biggest news theorists have heard since the release of Hyrule Historia. Are you surprised or did you figure this all along as I did?
