My Zelda Timeline

My Zelda timeline inspired by lorulean historian, Brian David Gilbert, and Bird Keeper Toby: Includes fan creations:

keep in mind not everyone may agree on this timeline. This isn’t to discredit anyone else’s personal timeline it is simply the way I see the games as fitting together:

Majora’s Mask prequel manga 

Minish cap and split:

Timeline 1: Minish cap bad ending: Zelda is turned to stone and Vaati briefly rampages but Link seals Vaati in the four sword leading to the rest of the four swords trilogy.

Four Swords

Four Swords Bonus Manga Stories 

Four Swords Adventures 

Timeline 1A: link to the past and other classic Zelda games: A branch off from the four swords trilogy in which Ganon tries to steal the triforce and gets sealed in the sacred realm. 

A link to the past 

Nintendo Land: Zelda Battle Quest 

Oracle of ages and seasons 

Ancient Stone Tablets and Link’s awakening 

The Time Break and BS The Legend Of Zelda: Link goes into the multiverse after being stranded in the Mario universe, whilst he is gone the events of BS The Legend Of Zelda happen in which a different set of protagonists battle Ganon since link is absent:

Super Mario RPG

Donkey Kong Country 3

Captain Rainbow 

Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker 2

Mario Kart 8

Soulcalibur II 

Sonic Lost World Legend Of Zelda Zone

Scribblenauts Unlimited 

End of time break: Link returns to his own universe:

Oath of Riruto

A link between worlds 

Tri force heroes 

Zelda’s Adventure 

End

Timeline 1B: CDI Shenanigans: Instead of going to the sacred realm Ganon goes directly for Hyrule leading to the original Zelda games and media. 

Zelda Game watch

The legend of Zelda and the moblin’s magic spear book presumably takes place at some point during the original Zelda game. 

The Faces of Evil 

Zelda Game and Watch 

The wand of Gamelon 

Crystal Trap and Shadow Prince

Zelda Tv Show and Valiant Comics  

Captain N 

Zelda 2: Adventure of Link

Battle of Mirage Castle

End 

Timeline 2: Minish Cap good ending: the regular ending of Minish Cap leading to the prospering of Hyrule and a different origin for Ganon. 

Cadence Of Hyrule 

The Skull Kid And The Mask manga story 

Ocarina Of time 

Rouru Of The Watarara Manga story 

Link and the Portal of Doom 

Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland

Tingle's balloon trip of love 

Majora’s Mask 

Link’s Crossbow Training

Twilight Princess

Wind Waker 

Phantom Hourglass

Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS 

Spirit Tracks

Timeline 2A: Terrako doesn’t go back in time resulting in the breaking of Demise’s curse and Hyrule prospering for eternity:

Breathe Of The Wild 

Tears Of The Kingdom

Timeline 2C: Champions succeed: Terrako Travels back in time allowing the champions to succeed. However Ganon was meant to be destroyed for good to break the curse so unbeknownst to them they have doomed The Hero, Hylia, and Demise to reincarnate for eternity meaning there will never be true peace in Hyrule:

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity 

Hyrule Warriors 

Hang ‘Em Hyrule a Zelda western fan Film 

Modern Zelda Fan Film 

Demise’s curse is never broken leading to Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf reincarnating for the rest of time. 

Timeline 2D: Cadence doesn’t come to Hyrule:

Octavo’s Ode 

Ganon’s Fury 

Symphony Of The Mask 

Ocarina Of Time 

Wind Waker Arc (Hyrule Warriors)

Leads back to Phantom Hourglass in Timeline 2 and continues as normal from there 

I haven’t been able to figure out where the hell Skyward Sword fits on the timeline though. It clearly can’t be first since the first timeline cannot logically include Skyward Sword as part of its backstory due to the fact that Zelda 2 gives a different origin story for the very first Princess Zelda. Unless the Zelda from Zelda 2 is the same as the one from Skyward Sword this would not work. It could go after Minish Cap but it would be hard to explain how the humans go from living on the ground to in the sky. The easy solution would be to say that the timeline was never unified in the first place.

hc that all Links are unnaturally bad at lying, but for different, usually magic related reasons

Skyward Sword: Holy Magic juice in his veins

Minish Cap: Picori Magic (so fae)

Time: Lost Woods magic (also fae)

8bit: killed his Dark Link and with him the ability to lie

Four Swords: Four Sword = Picori Magic + The entire game is about bribing Great Fairies into blessing you (also fae)

Four Swords Adventures: Four Sword still = Picori Magic (still fae) + I think Shadow Link kicks the bucket?

Legend: His uncle taught him better

Orcales (if you count him as separate): side effect of hanging out with the Oracle of Secrets

New Hero of Legend: Automatically sucks at it because Ravio doesn't, Lorulean/Hyrulean counterparts have opposite character traits

Twilight Princess: Whatever that one squirrel in Ordon said about humans vs animals, + fae magic (Fairies cling to him, something's up here)

Toon Link: Have you seen his face, he might be able to lie but his expression sure doesn't

Spirit Tracks Toon Link: still a Toon Link

Wild Era: Child Soldier Trauma, also Blupees and Satori (it's all fae?)

Extras:

Hyrule Warriors: Child Soldier Trauma, also Fairy Tea Time (*loads magic meter* Always has been)

Cadence of Hyrule: These hips don't lie

Majoras Maks Prequel Manga guy: magic juice (not necessarily holy)

WardSward Prequel Manga guy: Holy Magic juice (but not in his veins if you catch my drift)

CDI Link: too dorky

Cartoon Link: The biggest liar you've ever seen (the Triforce of Wisdom taught him)

For the Vaati Screws Theory: I have a headcanon that Princess Hilda from “A Link Between Worlds” is descended from Vaati, and that Octavo is Lorulean Royalty. (He may or may not be Hilda’s descendent, depending on where in the timeline “Cadence of Hyrule” is located.)

What I think happened is that Vaati found his way to Lorule at some point in time between the destruction and restoration of that world’s Triforce. Vaati is a powerful sorcerer, and portals do feature as a gameplay mechanic in “The Minish Cap”. Once he got there, Vaati somehow attracted the notice of the Lorulean Queen or Princess. The Royal Family’s power-both political and magical-was waning, and she hoped that marrying a powerful magician could help rectify that. Vaati, who lusted both for power and for beautiful woman, agreed. Their relationship might or might not have eventually grown into something more than a purely political partnership.

Sorry for dumping all of this on you.

First of all, never apologize for sending me theories. I LOVE these.

Second, this is a really cool theory! If you ever write a fic, I'd LOVE to read it.

Personally, though, I don't know if he could have gotten to Lorule. We only know it exists because of the cracks that appear in A Link Between Worlds.

We don't know how these portals got here, but we DO know that they started because of Lorule's Sacred Realm.

This break right here spiraled out into the rest of the rift between realms. Where did it happen? How did it happen?

We don't know.

Regardless, though, this is a VERY interesting theory you have, and I want to hear more about it. If you want me to find supporting evidence for it, I can 100% do that for you—I did that back when Bo2W dropped, I can do it again ❤

Hi I'm sorry I had to make a needle felt of @minart-was-taken 's Lorulean Vaati (Tuuli!) Design for a Lorule Minish Cap AU

They're so cute ok

[minart-was-taken]

Tuuli gives me so much joy

But that’s not what a great evil is meant to do!

[minart-was-taken]

Two under-appreciated things I love: - Lorule - Minish Cap Skills I have: - Drawing

This is the logical outcome

[minart-was-taken]

Part 2 of this!

[minart-was-taken]

can you tell more about lorulean minish cap?

Well most of it is in the art, but I suppose I could try and elaborate on it. 🤔

- Ravio is the merchant’s kid, and friends with Princess Hilda. Since Zeldas tend to have very different personalities in different games, I tried to make Toon Hilda different from the Hilda in ALBW.

I think she’s more of a quiet and insecure kind of girl, very much an opposite to the Zelda in MC. She probably has dry humour and tries very hard at everything she does.

- The Lorulean Vaati I made- Tuuli, is kind of a switch up of the Vaati traits in Minish Cap: Instead of maniacal laughter when doing bad things, they’re serious and deadpan, and when very much angry they are smiley.

Also Tuuli is the finnish word for Wind, since Vaati’s name is likely based on Wind (according to the Zelda wiki)

I also headcanon Vaati as a he/him agender, and my friend suggested that Tuuli could be multigender as kind of an opposite, and I was like hell yeah, so, that’s why I decided to make their pronouns they/them.

- I made Ezlo into Sheerow because I don’t know, Birds? BIRDS?? Ezlo’s known for being very much a talky talking old man, so I’m gonna say that the opposite would be a pretty quiet person. I think a running joke could be Ravio going “IT CAN SHOOT FIRE??” And Sheerow-hat going “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.”

- I have NO IDEA how Ravio could actually pull off an adventure, I suppose it’s been proven that when the things he love are in danger he is willing to work to save them.

So, one option is that he braves it up and goes on the journey

But the other option is that he rents the sword Hilda got him at the Picori festival in exchange for the relics he needs from the dungeons and uses the power of ripping people off to save the day.

[minart-was-taken]

I just wanted to say your lorule vaati design is really cute, i absolutely adore it!!

I call them Tuuli!
