![]() The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (2002).The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (2004).The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011).And then there’s the matter of the three branching paths. Still, even working off of this official timeline, there’s a lot of wiggle room and confusion as to where exactly Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom belong. Here, according to most primary sources - including the definitive tome that is Hyrule Historia - is the timeline for the Legend of Zelda: Graphic: Jeffrey Parkin/Polygon But there’s still a generally accepted chronology. So, yeah, the Legend of Zelda timeline: Pretty complicated, and certainly up for some debate. The Legend of Zelda series in chronological order ![]() ![]() Myths and fairy tales don’t have to be perfectly consistent, after all. This is made explicit in the book The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Creating a Champion: “Hyrule’s recurring periods of prosperity and decline have made it impossible to tell which legends are historical fact and which are mere fairy tale.” That doesn’t negate the previous timeline as established in Hyrule Historia, but it gives room to explain any inconsistencies with the wave of a hand. (The creative team behind the Zelda series had an eyes-only, confidential version of the timeline sometime before 2003.) That official version rearranges the games into a cohesive-ish timeline that branches into three possible outcomes.īut things get complicated when we get to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Thankfully, in 2011, we got the first officially published timeline in The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. Note that the angles are not to scale so as to show the three twilight categories with more clarity.Just nothing going on behind those eyes. The figure below shows civil, nautical and astronomical twilight. But diffuse light sources such as galaxies, nebula, and globular clusters need to be observed under a totally dark sky, again when the sun is more than 18 degrees below the horizon. Point light sources such as stars and planets can be readily studied by astronomers under astronomical twilight. But to test the limits of naked eye observations, the sun needs to be more than 18 degrees below the horizon. Under astronomical twilight, the horizon is not discernible and moderately faint stars or planets can be observed with the naked eye under a non light polluted sky. In astronomical twilight, sky illumination is so faint that most casual observers would regard the sky as fully dark, especially under urban or suburban light pollution.
