#including the handwriting

I am posting this before I fiddle with it more and lose my goddamn mind: The Zelda Timeline, as I am using it for this Link's Meet 'verse.

Text description/summary under the cut as best I can do with how complex this is, but in brief this maps out the timeline order of events, languages, scripts, which events happen in which timeline, and mutual intelligibility.

The top portion is the "Origins" section, coloured green, and includes the entries: The First Hero Skyward Sword The First Hero of the Four Sword Minish Cap Four Sword

The First Hero of the Four Sword is marked as a separate language, because in this work he's Picori, so he speaks the Picori language not a version of Hylian.

The First Hero and Skyward Sword speak similar language, but not the same; Skyward Sword and Minish Cap era would also be similar, but some difficulty understanding eg. Spanish and Portuguese or Spanish and French degrees of separation.

Ocarina of Time is marked out separately as the spoke from which the rest branch off. It's of limited comprehension with Twilight Princess, Link to the Past, and Minish Cap, and none with Wind Waker.

In Adult Timeline, coloured blue (right hand side), there is: Wind Waker Phantom Hourglass Spirit Tracks

Linguistically, this section is isolated in every respect except for the script. Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are isolated languages (which absolutely can happen while using the same script), and Wind Waker lost the language in common use in Ocarina of Time and therefore has no comprehension going backwards or across to Twilight Princess or Link to the Past, despite similar degrees of remove in time.

In Child Timeline, coloured yellow (center), there is: Majora's Mask Twilight Princess Four Swords Adventures Hyrule Warriors

Linguistically, this section is a gradient, disregarding Majora's Mask which gets a separate language tag bc it's not Hyrule. Twilight Princess is of limited comprehension to Ocarina of Time and Four Swords Adventures, but likely is unintelligible to Minish Cap and Hyrule Warriors and vice versa. In every instance, each entry on an orange line gets progressively less similar the more points you move away from the origin.

In Downfall Timeline, coloured red, there is: Rauru & Sonia's Hyrule Link to the Past Oracle of Ages (purple) Link's Awakening (purple) Oracle of Seasons (purple) Link Between Worlds Tri Force Heroes (purple) The First Calamity Legend of Zelda Adventure of Link Age of Calamity Breath of the Wild Tears of the Kingdom

Let me start with the BOTW/TOTK question. "10,000 Years" is the kind of statement that places the story in mythic history: whatever accurate information it may have, the time period is not necessarily one of them. As such, I match the Imprisoning War to the war referenced in LttP, and the FIrst Calamity to Hyrule's "Golden Age" post LbW and before LOZ, matching it up by a few generations to the original time period of AOL's Zelda.

Several locations here are not in Hyrule, and therefore get the purple marker for separate languages; several others are close enough in time to be considered the same language. LOZ/AOL and BOTW/TOTK are canonically less than ten years apart; LttP and LbW are presented as similar enough maps and worlds that it's likely been a century or less different. Similarly, due to the time periods likely matching up, LttP and LbW are comprehensible with TP , OoT, and FSA but not with HW and neither is LOZ/AOL. Finally, I consider the time period gap between LOZ/AOL and BOTW/TOTK to be signficant enough to render it incomprehensible, in much the same way OoT and WW are.

Other Language Matters:

Because several of my Links use sign language, I made notes about who, in what era, was using different ones. Because the notes are primarily for art purposes, I gave them as glossed entries, which is to say when I draw Kokiri signing, he will be using ASL as a stand in for Gerudo sign language; then I draw Prince or Rabbit signing, they will be using BSL for Hylian sign language. When I draw Hateno signing, it will be AUSLAN, which is derived from BSL (whereas ASL is derived from French Sign Language and therefore is not related.) This is not meant as an exhaustive list, but only as notes of the ones I have decided on.

With regards to the script notes, it is absolutely possible for them to both come and go in that way and to cross time periods. Marked are:

Ocarina of Time Hylian Ancient Hylian, as of WW Gerudo Script Twilight Princess Hylian Skyward Sword Hylian Link Between Worlds Hylian Ancient Sheikah script, as of Breath of the Wild Zonai script

I may or may not attempt to do something with the unintelligible scripts of LttP, LA, and HW but for now this is the extent of my decisions about timelines and languages going on! This will be relevant, to some extent, to who can read each other's writing.

OK SO THERE IS AN EXPLAINATION FOR THIS. I swear to god i got an ask once about damian enjoying punch buggy a little too much but its GONE and i dont recall/cant find when i ever answered it??? But i know it existed??? So anyways i might be posting this for a second time??? Maybe??? I dont know brother. This is like a million years old tho.

Anyways i remember writing out a whole thing. When i was a kid i used to think that the yellow car game was the same as punch buggy. Found out last year (i am 20 yrs old) that it wasnt and i had just been causing my friends to live in terror every time we went in the car. Hence how this is uhm. Yellow car instead of punch buggy because i. May or may not have found that out while i was making this. Anyways.

*awkward car silence*

Dick: Damian.. We can talk about this..

Damian: ...

Damian: Yellow. Car.

Tim: Dick HELP ME-

Dick: DAMIAN WAY- OW

Dick: HE FUCKING BIT ME!

Tim: WE'RE GONNA DIE IN HERE-

some fanmade skin stuff for charlie and maxwell + notes as to what was inspired by what. i was working on another picture of the two of them and then realized i wanted to do more than just depict them in their magic show outfits and i didn't want to just put maxwell in one of his official skins and have charlie not match.

i guess its kinda like the masquerade set and the roseate set had a baby and their final act outfits are the godparents or something. if anyone likes these enough to use them or improve on them i want to see :)

edit: made some tiny changes to maxwells face bc ikemen maxwell was actually pissing me tf awf

After reading Michael J Sullivan's progress reports and seeing that the next series is likely set after Riyria Revelations I would like to conclude that Elan has the funniest reading order. So you start with the fourth series chronologically. Then you read the third one (but actually you can read this series whenever). Then you go to the chronologically earliest series, then the second one, then only do you go to the fifth. Hold on I gotta draw a diagram

Y’know what bringing this here too. Whose handwriting do I have?
