    “But how does it fit into the timeline!?!?!?”

    I can’t believe people went so crazy about the timeline shenanigans that nintendo just caved and was like “sure, yeah… Why not.”

      Yeah I find it weird that Nintendo actually bothered to make a timeline for Zelda. When I was a kid, I had just accepted each game as separate works.

        It probably defeats the whole spirituality aspect about the series, but Nintendo could take a page out of Spiderverse and have each entry be it’s own universe, each with their own differences, but following the same thematic structure they have already been following.

          I feel like the title says it all. The Legend of Zelda. It’s like multiple retellings of the same story, passed down through generations, obscured by time.

          I don’t even know why it really needs an explanation. They basically tell you from the start it’s an endless loop of good vs evil.

          Every game is it’s own thing/story so there isn’t any baggage and you get to start all over again saving the world.
