A fan built a visual timeline of The Legend of Zelda series to catch up before the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, releasing in 17 days. The timeline follows Nintendo's official chronology from Hyrule Historia and their chronicle page. After Ocarina of Time, the story branches into three eras — child, adult, and fallen-hero — depending on whether Link wins or loses.
Each era is represented as its own thread on the cloth timeline, reuniting much later with Breath of the Wild. The project helped the creator revisit the story, using Claude for assistance. The timeline covers key games including Skyward Sword, A Link to the Past, and Majora's Mask, showing how events connect across eras.
