Nintendo already stated the games are connected. Nobody knows the actual timeline though. The only agreement between every one is the the minish cap came first.

If the games are connected, Ninty should make the proper timeline right now, just like they did with Metroid, but as I can see, theres no official timeline Ninty given yet. 

 

I think they might want to wait a little until things are less confusing by making more games.
