AZeldafan updated the series timeline to include crucial events fromThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. AlthoughThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomtakes place directly afterBreath of the Wild, some of the game’s most important events happen in a different time period.
After exploring the ancient Zonai ruins underneath Hyrule Castle, Link is separated from Zelda again, and the Hylian hero is incapacitated by the spreading Gloom. The Gloom caused Link’s right arm and Master Sword to decay, but Rauru’s power managed to save Link before further damage to his body could be done. Link proceeds to gain new abilities and regain his bearings on Great Sky Island in an extensive tutorial forZelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Rauru ensures Link is given the proper guidance in order to open the Temple of Time and dispel the clouds underneath the Great Sky Island. Once"The Closed Door" questis complete, Link may free-fall down to Hyrule and start his long search for Zelda.

Zeldafan Milor64 recently updated a series timeline to includeZelda: Tears of the Kingdomand Zelda’s trip back into the past. As shown in the timeline, Zelda is able to escape her demise by going back in time to the era where Rauru and Sonia ruled as the first king and queen of Hyrule inZelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The timeline then mentions the major events that were revealed inZelda: Tears of the Kingdom’smemories, which may be acquired by exploring Hyrule and progressingthe Geoglyph main quest. Additionally, the timeline includes all the previousZeldatitles and compiles the events that happened after Ganondorf appeared inZelda: Tears of the Kingdomsuch as the fall of Hyrule’s Champions.
Some fans believe the updated timeline is accurate, and otherZelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayers think Hyrule’s royal family already knew Zelda would have to relive Rauru and Sonia’s era. Moreover, a fewZeldafans believeBreath of the WildandTears of the Kingdomshould have its own dedicated timeline due to the thousands of years that have seemingly passed in the official canon.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’splacement in theZeldatimelinecontinues to fuel discussion in the community about its importance and accuracy, but the updated timeline still provides a general idea of where classic and modernZeldatitles took place. For example,The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swordis recognized as the first entry in the series timeline by fans, whileBreath of the Wildis known as the start of the latest saga withTears of the Kingdomas its sequel.
