DESCRIPTION
The Zelda Timeline debate has captured the imagination of fans since Nintendo green-lit a sequel to the smash hit “The Legend of Zelda”, and has only become more complicated with every new entry. With every new adventure, players found themselves in a world that feels familiar yet somehow different, with recurring themes and tropes adding fuel to the connections between the events from one to the next.
But with Breath of the Wild and the most recent title, Tears of the Kingdom, many have been left unfulfilled by the disconnect in the lore, with many considering the newer games to be a retcon of past titles, or a reboot of the franchise entirely, a view associated with disappointment in Nintendo in failing to adequately explain the glaring gaps and questions raised by the inclusion of aspects that hint at all previous timelines and branches, yet confirming no details as to how this could even be possible. Adding to the frustration is the absence of the Triforce, a pivotal icon within the series that has sparing references in the environment, yet appears to be forgotten almost akin to the adventures of the past.
Today’s theory is an accumulation of my recent theories and aims to address how Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom can exist with the series holistically and tackling the logic behind how it all comes together. documented Parallel worlds within Zelda Lore, real-world scientific understanding of extra-dimensional applications and perspectives of time and space in how we interpret the world around us provides the basis for a “Zelda-Verse”, which has more than a passing amount of evidence to suggest the move is intentional and referenced thoroughly in the games and lore published by Nintendo.
We’ll touch on the many worlds of the zelda-verse, how nintendo have been creating links across dimensions, and specificalluy referencing gameplay, symbolism & more. Pointing to multiverse exploration mechanisms, Zonai devices and abilities including how they are used to manipulate the very fabric reality and space/time, echoes of past titles, the role of artifacts, Tetraforce theory applications, the Bargainer and finally restoration and balance. Looking forward, we'll touch on the interview with Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi, and how a universal approach to the future of the Zelda series provides opportunities.
