Just found this on NintendoLife today. You probably know all about the Zelda timeline - famously known for being ridiculously convoluted and over-the-top crazy. This is quite possibly the greatest attempt at summing it up I've ever seen.

Ive seen this. I thought it was more funny than actually making sense of the plot of the legend of Zelda. If you want to learn the timeline, look up the legend of Zelda split time theory.

TIME PARADOX!!

I love this video. To be exact, I loved:

"After that, Link will have two separate adventures killing a resurrected Ganon in the Link ending. Then that same Link goes on to kill Ganon!"
"But I. . . err. . . he killed him!"
"But this time it was all a dream!"

Trying to make sense of the Zelda timeline will get you nothing but a headache; if you don't have the Master Timeline, you probably don't know the real timeline! :P

You guys are all stoopid. Listen to ze scientist.
Obviously, there are several timelines that Nintento forces invites Zelda fans to visit throughout the game series.

Lancun made a pretty good version of it, I t has very little holes in it

Games that refuse to use Gameplay effectively to do anything are like films that refuse to use cinematography in film to do anything.

So... Zelda is over right? I mean, Skyward Sword happens before OOT so..... There is no where to continue it from since Link stopped Ganon's minions in Zelda 2... and kissed Zelda in the end of Zelda 2...

You Don't know anything about The Zelda Timeline. The Next bit is speculation It's split into 2 portoins, and while ganon was ulitmately killed in both timelines, they still have stories that take between his Creation and death in both timelines

That, and the fact that Ganon's death means nothing to the Timeline (more games where he dies than there are where he's sealed away). He'll either be revived(oracles), or show up with no explained reason as to how he's still alive when he was supposedly killed long ago(The Legend of Zelda).

So basically, you lose more intelligence than gain knowledge in attempting to understand the Zelda Timeline?
