A Link Between Worlds timeline placement confirmed

Before the release of A Link Between Worlds, everybody was speculating where it took place on the official timeline. We knew from the fact that it was a sequel to A Link to the Past that it was set after it on the Downfall Timeline, and when we were told that it was a new generation of Link and Zelda and that the game was set centuries after A Link to the Past we all assumed that it must therefore be set after Link’s Awakening but before The Legend of Zelda. But according to some fans, A Link Between Worlds messes a few things up with this assumed placement. Now, Nintendo of America has released a Tweet that confirms A Link Between Worlds‘ timeline placement. Hit the jump to find out!

So there we have it. Despite A Link Between Worlds apparently ignoring a few events established in earlier games, it is definitely set between Link’s Awakening and The Legend of Zelda. What do you think of this announcement? Does A Link Between Worlds go against this timeline placement? If so, where do you think it should’ve been placed? Let us know in the comments.
