Aonuma has no idea where Breath of the Wild fits in the timeline

I've always considered the Zelda timeline to be bullshit. They just re-tell the same story in a slightly different way and setting because story is really not the point of a Zelda game.

Except the story in Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, Minish Cap, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, BotW, Four Swords Adventures, Adventure of Link, the Oracle games, Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening, and Botw are nothing alike as far as the main plot goes.  Gameplay mechanics sure, but the lore itself is unique with each game.

 

While Ocarina, Link to the Past, Link Between Worlds, and Twilight Princess are very similar, the background lore is totally different as well (particularly in TP).

 

Sorry but I have always found those who say each game is a retelling of the same story to be someone who knows far less about the lore itself than they like to think.  Yes gameplay is first, but the lore is still very present and deeper than many realize.
