Where does BOTW fit into the timeline?

Where does BOTW fit into the timeline?

somewhere around here would make sense, if hes been alseep for 100 years it would be logical to assume hes the fallen hero, however i dont see a navi and and the world seems drastically different for just 100 years down the line.
pretty exited to rip thise thing open

No, fuck off. Of all the timelines, Defeat is the LEAST likely, IE it's not going to happen, at all.

Who honestly gives a fuck about Zelda's overarching narrative? If Skyward Sword bending over backwards to fit as the beginning of the timeline is anything to go off of, Zelda works a lot better as a collection of independent stories with common elements across them instead of being retconned into a generations-spanning epic.

The timeline where I stopped buying Zelda games years ago.

Skyward Sword wasn't bad because of timeline fuckery, even though it being placed first kinda fucks up Minish Cap's lore.

what makes it so unlikely?

some time after the wind waker you dumb fucks

>Fallen hero
My nigga is right-handed. It's not the Hero Of Time.

>No Koroks
>No Rito
>No Castle Town
Literally nothing is pointing towards Downfall. If anything, it's another branching path, split off from the Adult timeline.

No it doesn't work better.
You're just fucking stupid and thinking hurts your head.

>B-b-b-but Koroks and Rito can exist in other timelines!!!!
I've heard this horseshit more times than I care to remember.

devs dont give a shit about any canon race shit, its all the same.
all i need to sell ke on the fallen hero timeline is that crusty broken sword and the crumbling ruins of the temple.

...

You guys are forgetting the most important thing. The fact that the story is being written by Fujibayashi. The man responsible for writing Minish Cap, Skyward Sword, Four Swords, and Phantom Hourglass. The story will be shit.

What the fuck is this horse crap? A theory?

Right here famalam

The part 100 years ago is the "Era without a Hero"
because Link got btfo by Ganon the historian never knew that a hero existed in that era. The goddesses seal Ganon in human form and flood Hyrule.

BotW's main-story takes place after a split in Windwaker where Ganondorf successfully unfloods Hyrule, unseals himseld from his Gerudo shell and kills Zelda and Link. The King manages to seal Ganon in Hyrule Castle and continues to roam the land as the Old Man.

But all of those games had pretty okay stories (save for Four Swords which I don't really remember having any story at all). It was other elements of those games that made them supremely shit.

Personally I'm banking on it being adult timeline too. I think it'd be cool as fuck if it was the events of the flood itself, but I doubt that'd happen

Maybe those aren't Ritos but Fokkas

It might be a reference or a foreshadow for BotW

Why do autists can't deal with the fact that their favourite franchise is a complete mess when it comes to timelines? Whay can't they enjoy the game accepting that it has nothing to do with the others? Hell, you can even go with the "whatever, it's an alternate universe or something".

Even the official Zelda Autism book says that "you may find inconsistencies when looking at the timeline".

>having a timeline where link is defeated
You can't account for something that is only hypothetical. The reason there's a split timeline in the first place is because there is one where Link goes back where Majora's Mask picks up and one where Ganon returns. The one where Link is defeated doesn't happen so therefore that timeline can't exist.

Holy Christ the Nintendo Zelda timeline has to be the most autistic garbage fanboys just have to force every time. Who gives a shit if it's not all perfectly lined up
