| With the release of [[Hyrule Historia]], fans saw for the first time the fully revealed official Zelda timeline!<br><br>The continuity of the Zelda series is a topic of much debate between fans, and several [[Timeline]] theories have been made. Even with the release of the official timeline, some fans are still releasing their own theories, which is something that people probably will never stop, mostly because it is a lot of fun to try to order the games your own way.

| =How are the games ordered?=
| |
| Shown below is the order of the games based off the information in Hyrule Historia, and the official timeline. But be forewarned, there are heavy spoilers, so read at your own risk!
| |
| | |
| ==Official Ordering==
| |
| There were plenty of theories circling the web about the ''"Split Timeline"'', which was later confirmed by [[Nintendo]] to be true. However, Nintendo added yet another branch of games to the original split timeline called the "Failed Hero" timeline.
| |
| | |
| ===The Beginning===
| |
| The very first game on the timeline is ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', which was made as a prequel to the entire series. Following that is ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' and its sequel ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. After that comes ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', which has three different splits in the Timeline at the end: One for the Failed Hero timeline (which takes place if the [[Hero of Time]] is unable to defeat [[Ganondorf]]), as well as the Adult and Child timelines (Since Zelda sends Link back into his childhood, that leaves a timeline with a hero [child], and one without[adult]).
| |
| | |
| ===Failed Hero===
| |
| Kicking off the first position on the Failed Hero timeline is ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', followed by the Oracle series (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'') and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. Lastly, to finish off the Failed Hero timeline, we have ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', as well as its sequel ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===Child Timeline===
| |
| Starting the child timeline, we have ''Ocarina of Time's'' direct sequel ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', followed by ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===Adult Timeline===
| |
| The adult timeline starts with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' followed by its two sequels, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.
