 In December of 2012, [[Hyrule Historia]] revealed the complete Legend of Zelda Timeline. It was revealed that there were three outcomes branching from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. One of the outcomes involved Link failing to defeat [[Ganondorf]] and is often times referred to as the ''Downfall'' branch of the timeline. After Ocarina of Time, the Downfall branch continues with the [[Imprisoning War]], followed by the events of A Link to the Past, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', The Legend of Zelda, and Adventure of Link.
-According to the timeline revealed in Hyrule Historia, The Legend of Zelda takes place in the "Downfall" branch after Ocarina of Time. After Ganon is defeated twice, in A Link to the Past and the Oracle series, Hyrule entered 'The Golden Era', in which the wise Hyrule monarchs used the Triforce to govern the land. After the king's death and the attempt of the Prince of Hyrule to assemble the complete Triforce, Hyrule was lead into the 'Era of Decline'. The Prince of Darkness Ganon was revived, leading to the events of The Legend of Zelda. Immediately following this game, the events of The Adventure of Link take place.
-Both this game and its sequel, The Adventure of Link, are linked in continuity, since the first game revolves around retrieving two of the major fragments of the Triforce, and Ganon is fought in order to rescue Princess Zelda; the second game revolves around finding the third major fragment in order to revive an incarnation of Zelda that was comatose for a very long time, and to impede the revival of Ganon.
