Okay, I made a change to my timeline because I wasn't liking how LoZ and AoL were fitting in. So I redid the whole thing and I'm going to try placing them in relation to the other games. But I'm still running into problems. So, I'll first explain my timeline as it is, then ask how to place those two titles.
To start, here's my timeline:
.............................../-–WW/PH-–ST
SS--MC-–FS/FSA-–OoT
...............................\MM-–TP-–OoX/LA-–LttP
LoZ/AoL?
And here's what I consider in game placement:
Skyward Sword
Legend of Zelda & Adventure of Link
Feel free to ask questions and comment on my timeline. I'd especially like some help with placing LoZ and AoL.

And here's what I consider in game placement:
- Direct references

- Reoccurring characters and races
Skyward Sword
