Updated The Legend of Zelda Timeline Is at Nintendo Live 2024

Nintendo Live is being held in Sydney, Australia between August 31, 2024 and September 1, 2024, and a newly updated The Legend of Zelda timeline appeared going over the series’ in-game history. As pointed out by  Vooks, it changes the position of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. [Thanks, Vooks and Wario64!]

The change this time is that Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are now in their own segregated area outside of the existing The Legend of Zelda games in this new timeline. They both appear in a section behind “The Hero is Triumphant” timeline in the lower half of the Nintendo infographic, but are cordoned off from the games in the Child Era and Adult Era timelines. 

Here’s the tweet from Wario64 showing the new The Legend of Zelda History and timeline.

All of the other games remain in their existing spots in the timeline. So The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword remains the very first entry, which is followed by The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. After Ocarina of Time, the timeline splits into “The Hero is Defeated” and “The Hero is Triumphant” branches. “The Hero is Triumphant” part of the timeline then further splits into the Child Era and Adult Era.

The next The Legend of Zelda game, which is Echoes of Wisdom, doesn’t appear on the board. This means following its September 2024 release, we will likely see the timeline updated again.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will come to the Nintendo Switch on September 26, 2024.
