The Legend of Zelda chronological timeline is one of the most debated topics in video games. Fans of the series have always debated which game came first, second, or last. Many rumors abounded and suggestions have been made.
After lengthy and strong consideration and thinking, I have came up with my own chronological timeline of the series. This is my own thought and you may disagree.
Before I begin, "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" has two endings. One ending takes place when the adult Link going back to his own time. Another ending has young Link leaving the temple of time and the fairy Navi flies away. This results in a dual-timeline: one after the end of the game and another after the older Link is transported back to his original time. Another reason why the "Ocarina of Time" is first is because Zelda and Link did not know each other.
Without further ado, here is "The Legend of Zelda" series timeline.
1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (end of game)
2. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
3. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
4. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
5. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
6. The Legend of Zelda
7. Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons.
10. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (after Link is sent back to original time)
2. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
3. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
This is my iteration of the Zelda timeline. You may agree or disagree. This is still an open debate and will be for some time to come.
Maybe Nintendo did not intend a chronological story for the series and put gameplay ahead of a story line.
