And so it's confirmed to belong in the timeline and even has a definite position, is canon and has the same status as the other so-called 'mainline' games named LoZ. I can't call that a spin-off, the name did say it all, thank you very much. I'm not saying anyone can't recognize 'importance', or group them into primary and secondary, but this is a main game nonetheless.

I'll see if I can get the game today. Even though I don't like the look and concept of it, it's still a Zelda game; got to keep my collection up to date.


I'm pretty sure they shoehorned this title into the timeline after the fact.  That's because pretty much every single LoZ game has to go in there somewhere now.  If defining a mainline game as one that fits onto the timeline, then there really wont be any future LoZ spinoffs.
Nintendo is simply making contradictions by trying to appease fans who want an elaborate layout of when everything happens in the LoZ universe.
