But all that story created the mess that is now known as the timeline. Even worse, there is more than one timeline. Personally, I think it's better to view the The Legend of Zelda series as "transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords eternally retold", meaning that all of it might very well be one and the same story, but preserved for future generations by different authors each time. So anyone who wrote the legend down put their own twist on it. |
That's pretty much how I used to view the series. It's the same story but told through different storytellers. Would've made things much easier for Nintendo but I guess they didn't want to piss of the crazy timeline conspirators.
