Nintendo has once again updated its Legend of Zelda timeline, finally given 2017’s masterful Breath of the Wild an official place in the Zelda chronology.
Last year, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi told Gamerant that Breath of the Wild (which itself chronicles more than 10,000 years of Hyrule history) occurred “long, long after any of the titles released to date” – so it should come as no surprise that Nintendo has placed the game at the very end of the Zelda timeline.
What’s perhaps more unexpected, however – particularly for Zelda lore fans – is that Breath of the Wild appears to sit completely disconnected from all other series entries, linking with none of the previously established, divergent (and hilariously convoluted) timelines.
