Anyone interested in Zelda\'s timeline?

It\'s messed up but makes complete sense.  Here\'s an article I found, before reading it was a mystery as to how the games were connected.

That article was amazingly short.

whoops here\'s the link, sorry

I don\'t follow the Zelda games...I play them but have lost interest in the timeline as they\'ve jumped around a bit too much to make sense...or matter any more.

Chapter 1: Pre-Ocarina of Time
- Zelda I

Chapter 2: Ocarina of Time (OOT)
Chapter 3: Majora\'s Mask (MM)
- Link I
- Zelda II

Chapter 4: Link to the Past (LTTP)
Chapter 5: Oracle of Seasons / Oracle of Ages (OOS/OOA)
Chapter 6: Link\'s Awakening (LA)
- Link II
- Zelda III

Chapter 7: Legend of Zelda (LOZ)
Chapter 8: Adventure of Link (AOL)
- Link III
- Zelda IV (Zelda I)

I\'m confused even looking at that...I never did play the original Zelda or the sequel on Nintendo.  I didn\'t pick it up until A Link to the Past...and I partly played one of the Gameboy Zelda\'s.

Where does Wind Waker fit in?

supposedly between Majora\'s Mask and Link to the Past

Actually...

[sp]Wind Waker is pretty much a direct sequal to OoT/MM. Its set 100 years after Oot took place. That\'s all I\'ll say. [/sp]

I\'d assume that TWW = after OOT/MM, but before LTTP.

The first two Zelda games are likely at the very end of the timeline.

Nintendo\'s structure of Zelda is so odd, but it makes complete sense... they just keep going foward and back through time.

V2.0 of that article will be going up in mid-late April, and will incorporate Wind Waker\'s story.
