Zach, the man behind the website ‘View From Heaven’ has taken it upon himself to play every canonical Zelda title in a month in order to sort out the official timeline for himself. The official timeline printed in the Zelda art book ‘Hyrule Historia’ was released after his quest had begun, and like a true gamer, he has now finished it and released his findings into a 20 chapter, 56 page PDF available from his site.

He notes major events, characters and overall plots to determine the timeline for himself, and although I haven’t read the whole thing myself it does look intriguing. I’ll be sure to get tucked into it tonight.

Zach played through 16 Legend Of Zelda games, and took into account that being Japanese titles originally, some things may have been lost in translation. He also took into account that after major facts or plots are established in one game, future games conform to them despite contradicting previous titles. It’s tricky to make a timeline from a contradictory saga that spans 25 years, but he has seemed to achieve it.
