The different The Legend of Zelda video games that have been published since the saga began to take its first steps present their own plots and details that make them unique and different from all the others. By having the same protagonists one might think that they are always the same, but in reality the Link, Zelda and Ganondorf that we usually see are reincarnations in the vast majority of cases.
This is because the franchise developed by Nintendo has its own timeline that lasts centuries and whose world of Hyrule changes as certain events occur. For all this, the community does not stop trying to find out At what point in the chronology do these titles in question fit? every time a new game in the series is published, as recently happened with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The players have not stopped developing their own theories about it, so it has been Nintendo itself wanted to solve this mystery once and for all. In this way, if we access the official Nintendo website Related to this timeline, it can be seen that the story takes place just after The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and before the NES classics The Legend of Zelda.
To be more exact, it is the line in which the “Hero is defeated” in the event that in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time it had been Ganondorf who had emerged victorious in his attempt to conquer Hyrule. Naturally, this is not something that will be seen at some point in the Nintendo 64 title, but it is something that the big N wanted to imagine to give greater meaning to the chronology and thus be able to correctly fit all the pieces in this matter. .
Since the timeline it changes without stopping As new deliveries arrive, and it is not known exactly how much time has passed between them, the position it occupies may be The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom end up changing one day with another adventure that takes place before or after this one on Nintendo Switch. On the other hand, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are the only games that are not related to any other and have their own timeline.
