Zelda Timeline Revealed by Nintendo

...and it makes even less sense than we originally thought.

If you don't want to get spoilers about where Skyward takes place, avoid the first box.

Before the Split:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Skyward Sword
Minish Cap
Four Swords
Ocarina of Time

Ocarina Branch A: Failure

Hidden/Spoiler:

A Link to the Past
Oracle of Seasons/Ages
Link's Awakening
The Legend of Zelda
The Adventures of Link

Ocarina Branch B: Return to Childhood

Hidden/Spoiler:

Majora's Mask
Twilight Princess (Heavily implied to take place at the same time as Wind Waker)
Four Swords Adventure

Ocarina Branch C: The Future

Hidden/Spoiler:

The Wind Waker (Heavily implied to take place at the same time as Twilight Princess)
Phantom Hourglass
Spirit Tracks

So as you can see, we're still missing quite a few events.

The good news I'm taking from this is that Majora's Mask must still exist in A and C.

Oh, and if you want a spoilerific chart there's that too:

This is official? I thought it was just fan speculation.....

Nope, they actually released a book with all the information in it this week. It was barely marketed and its existence was only revealed earlier this week, but it's official.

In that case, I have no idea as to what they were thinking with adding a third branch...games are supposed to end with the good guy winning most of the time, right? So it's a bit odd that they'd throw in that branch, but other than that, the order of the games actually makes sense to me; might take a bit of thought and imagination, but it makes sense for the most part.
