The hero of Hyrule, Link, wearing the Ancient Hero's Aspect, kneels before the ancient Sheikah tapestry which depicts the ancient battle against Calamity Ganon. From Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023).

Or, how Tears of the Kingdom’s narrative fits into the overall canon of the series. Video in production!

This is a depiction of the chronology of Hyrule Kingdom as I understand it, based upon the information present in both 'Tears of the Kingdom' and its Master Works.

Hey friends, have a Zelda timeline theory—on the house. ☕️

#thelegendofzelda #zeldatimeline #infographic #design #zeldatheory

A rendition of the Legend of Zelda series' timeline, based on the design published in Hyrule Historia (c.2011), but with the addition of all official games since then and where I think they would be set based on my own research and opinion. Starting at the top with the Creation of Heaven and Earth, moving down, we enter "Skyward Sword." The Sacred Realm is sealed, and the Kingdom of Hyrule is founded by the Zonai and the descendants of Hylia. Ganondorf of the Gerudo attempts to usurp power, becoming the Demon King and resulting in the Imprisoning War. Hyrule recovers, and "The Minish Cap" occurs. Hyrule enters a period of strife and conflict but is reunited just before the events of "Ocarina of Time." A new incarnation of the imprisoned Demon King's hatred and malice, taking the form of a Gerudo male, attempts once more to usurp power, but is thwarted by a young boy and the princess of Hyrule. The final battle to determine the fate of Hyrule splits the timeline in twain: one where the Hero is defeated and another where he is successful. The latter splits again into what's known as the "child Link" and "adult Link" storylines.
I have placed the events of "Echoes of Wisdom" neatly on the child Link timeline, long after "Twilight Princess," "Four Swords," and "Four Swords Adventures." The Calamity, "Breath of the Wild," and "Tears of the Kingdom" are also on this branch—long after everything else. The other two timelines are virtually unchanged from their official renders.

Não creio que seja um spoiler, mas encontrei essa estrutura meio em ruínas no #EchoesofWisdom, creio que seja o Desert of Mystery de #aLinktothePast, o que coloca o lançamento bem mais pra frente na "downfall" timeline.

How Tears of the Kingdom's lore SECRETLY connects to Zelda Lore (Zelda Theory)

How does the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's lore connect to Zelda lore and the zelda timeline and how can we "fix" it? As always, the answer is the Triforce. In this Zelda Theory, I will be presenting the entire Zelda timeline, as reframed by this games secret connections to Zelda lore at large, and answering when TotK's memories take place, and the lore of the calamity (hint, it's a time loop) This theory before the Master Works book #tearsofthekingdom #zeldatheory #zelda Join my Discord! - https://discord.gg/bfhW3tWsge
