Zelda Timeline - Blog Posts

I think the timeline is a great concept and it seemed to sorta work, up til BOTW. We sorta figured out BOTW's placement (after Hyrule Warriors ish was what I went with) but then TOTK mucked everything up so now we're figuring it out again. And, of course, the stories are at least compelling to me. A person who's written multiple fics (most unpublished) and made a whole links meet au like a weirdo

Alright here's the 411, folks. I need your help settling a score. I know Ive done a lot of meme polls in the past but I genuinely need a large sample size here.

Whether you're a long-time fan or played only one game in the franchise

I NEED YOUR OPINION

PLEASE REBLOG, AND SHARE SOME OF THE NARRATIVE MOMENTS THAT HAVE STUCK WITH YOU, NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG!

OR IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE NARRATIVE, TELL ME WHY! PLEASE I NEED TO UNDERSTAND A WIDE VARIETY OF OPINIONS

I NEED TO HEAR EVERY OPINION YOU HAVE, SO GO NUTS!!!!

My Zelda headcanon is that the three main characters are all cosmic actors whisked through time and space to play out their predetermined mythic roles in different settings. Ganon seizes power in the setting, Zelda reaches outside the setting to pull in the player, and Link serves as a vessel for the player who can defy the in-setting odds to defeat Ganon.

So instead of trying to knit together the Zelda timeline, I imagine the three of them in between games hanging out in a breakroom at the Hylian multiverse agency. They're doing whatever (frankly none of our business--they're on break), when suddenly a new game gets released and they each get drawn through a portal to somewhere they can settle in and play out their story once more.
