Iz vanjske perspektive, čini se da svaka igra Legend of Zelda ima potpuno drugačiju priču, sa samo nekoliko konstanti, kao što je pojava Linka^(Link) i Zelde^(Zelda) u svakoj igri. 

Međutim, svaka je igra povezana kroz pozadinsko znanje i postoji pravi redoslijed u kojem možete igrati igre koji prati priču igara. Ovo se razlikuje od redoslijeda oslobađanja.

Ovaj članak će opisati odakle dolazi kanonski ispravan redoslijed, kao i kako igrati igre na ovaj način. 

Pravi red Legende o Zelda igrama^{(The True Order of the Legend of Zelda Games)}

Godine 2011. Nintendo je objavio knjigu Hyrule Historia , koja je detaljno opisala glavnu vremensku liniju svih igara Legend of Zelda . U ovoj vremenskoj liniji, Link i Zelda su se u biti reinkarnirali stotinama godina u svaku od priča igre. 

Vremenska linija počinje pozadinskom pričom o tri zlatne ^(Golden) božice^(Goddesses) , koje su, nakon što su unele red u svijet Hyrule , stvorile Triforce (još jedan ponavljajući motiv u igrama) koji svom nositelju može ispuniti želju srca. Zaštitu Triforce povjerili su božici Hyliji^(Hylia) . 

Naposljetku, kralj demona po imenu Demise popeo se na vlast protiv Hyrulea^(Hyrule) . Hylia je uzela preostale ljude svijeta i dovela ih u zemlju na nebu, nazvanu Skyloft . Tamo je sakrila i Triforce . 

Nakon što je zapečatila Demise , Hylia je stvorila Mač božice^{(Goddess Sword)} i duha Fi kako bi dovela odabranog heroja u njega kao mjeru opreza kada se pečat kralja demona slomio. Zatim je, kako bi nastavila štititi Triforce , svoju dušu prenijela u čovjeka, koji bi bio Zelda . 

Nakon ovih događaja počinje prva igra na ovoj vremenskoj traci. 

Mač prema nebu^{(Skyward Sword)}

Ova igra je sam početak i počinje kada Link vodi Fi da izvuče mač božice^{(Goddess Sword)} . Zelda se također vraća u sjećanje kao božica Hylia . Link traži Posebne plamenove^(Flames) kako bi svoj mač učvrstio u Majstorski ^(Time)mač^{(Master Sword)} , koji na kraju koristi za putovanje u prošlost kroz Vrata^(Gates) vremena kako bi srušio Demise . 

Kapa Minish^{(The Minish Cap)}

Kako se pročulo o Triforceu^(Triforce) , mnoge grupe i pojedinci ga počinju tražiti. Međutim, bića poznata kao Picori došla su s neba kako bi zaštitila Hyrulea^(Hyrule) od zlih bića. Za to su upotrijebili Picori Blade i zlo je zapečaćeno u Vezanoj škrinji^{(Bound Chest)} .

U ovoj igri, pokvareni Picori poznat kao Vaati uzima Picori Blade i ponovno otvara Vezanu škrinju^{(Bound Chest)} , oslobađajući zlo, razbijajući oštricu i pretvarajući Zeldu^(Zelda) u kamen. Linka^(Link) , reinkarniranog u kovača u igri, angažuje kralj Hyrulea^(Hyrule) da ponovno iskuje Picori Blade i razbije kletvu na Zeldi^(Zelda) . 

Četiri mača^{(Four Swords)}

Vaati se ponovno pojavljuje u ovoj igri, otima Zeldu ^(Winds)i^(Zelda) drži je u Palači^(Palace) vjetrova . Link zatim izvlači Četiri mača^{(Four Swords)} , dijeleći ga na četiri odvojena Linka^(Link) . Skupljaju ključeve diljem zemlje kako bi ušli u palaču i spasili Zeldu^(Zelda) . 

Okarina vremena ^{(Ocarina of Time )}

Ganondorf se pojavljuje u ovoj igri, pokušavajući dobiti Triforce . Kako bi to učinio, proklinje Deku drvo^{(Deku Tree)} u šumi Kokiri^{(Kokiri Forest)} u pokušaju da dobije Kokirijev smaragd^(Emerald) . Dok on umire, Deku drvo^{(Deku Tree)} šalje Linka^(Link) i vilu Navi da zaustave Ganondorfa^(Ganondorf) . 

Link na kraju upoznaje Zeldu^(Zelda) i njih dvoje odlučuju putovati kroz Vrata^(Door) vremena kako bi došli^(Triforce) do Triforcea^(Time) prije Ganona^(Ganon) . Link izvlači glavni mač^(Sword) s postolja^(Pedestal) vremena , ali je zarobljen sedam godina da bi se ponovno probudio kao ^(Time)heroj ^(Hero)vremena^(Time) . Tijekom tih godina, Ganondorf je doveo zemlju Hyrule u tamu. Međutim, uspio je dobiti samo jedan dio Triforcea^(Triforce) . 

Link i Zelda dobivaju druga dva dijela i mogu na kraju zapečatiti Ganondorfa^(Ganondorf) u Carstvu zla^{(Evil Realm)} .

Vremenska traka Split^{(Timeline Split)}

Tijekom događaja Ocarine^(Ocarina) of Time , vremenska crta je podijeljena na tri različita načina. Prva je vremenska linija Fallen Heroja^{(Fallen Hero)} kada je Link poražen od Ganona^(Ganon) . Druga dva se odvijaju gdje Link pobjeđuje Ganona^(Ganon) , ali su dalje podijeljeni na vremenske linije za djecu^(Child) i odrasle^(Adult) , zbog toga što Zelda šalje Linka^(Link) natrag u vrijeme u njegovo djetinjstvo tijekom Ocarine^(Ocarina) of Time . 

Heroj je poražen^{(The Hero Is Defeated)}

U ovoj vremenskoj liniji, Ganondorf dobiva cijeli Triforce i pobjeđuje Linka^(Link) . Međutim, Zelda i sedam mudraca^{(Seven Sages)} uspjeli su zapečatiti Ganondorfa^(Ganondorf) u Sveto carstvo^{(Sacred Realm)} na kratko vrijeme. 

Poveznica s prošlošću^{(A Link to the Past)}

Nakon što Hyrule prolazi kroz mnoge teškoće, kralj počinje tražiti svakoga tko to može stati na kraj. Čarobnjak Agahnim dolazi naprijed i misteriozno uvodi red u Hyrule , a kralj imenuje Agahnima^(Agahnim) za glavnog savjetnika i svećenika. Koristeći ovu moć, čarobnjak ispire mozak Hyruleovim^(Hyrule) vitezovima i rješava se kralja, u pokušaju da razbije Ganonov pečat. 

Smješta Zeldu^(Zelda) u ćeliju, gdje ona telepatski doziva Linka . ^(Link)Spašava je i dovodi u utočište kako bi bila sigurna. Međutim, Agahnim je na kraju pronađe i otme. Link , sada s Majstorskim mačem^{(Master Sword)} , pronalazi Agahnima^(Agahnim) , koji se pretvara u Ganona^(Ganon) , i pobjeđuje ga. 

Linkovo ​​buđenje^{(Link’s Awakening)}

Link sada^{(Link now)} odlučuje trenirati kako bi bio spreman za buduće nevolje. Međutim, tijekom putovanja brodom naiđe na oluju i zaglavi na otoku. Ovdje upoznaje Marina^(Marin) koji podsjeća na Zeldu^(Zelda) . 

Link otkriva da kako bi napustio otok mora probuditi Ribu Vjetar^{(Wind Fish)} , koja bi nakon buđenja uzrokovala da otok nestane kao da je to samo san Ribe Vjetar . ^{(Wind Fish)}Link na kraju to učini i probudi se na komadu naplavine svog starog broda. 

Proročište godišnjih doba i Proročište doba^{(Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages)}

Kada Link jednog^{(Link one)} dana dotakne Triforce u dvorcu Hyrule^{(Hyrule Castle)} , to ga šalje u zemlju Holodrum . U međuvremenu, dvije vještice po imenu Twinrova planiraju ponovno oživjeti Ganona^(Ganon) koristeći tri posebna plamena i ljudsku žrtvu. 

U Holodrumu^(Holodrum) , Link pustolovine kako bi spasio Proročište^(Oracle) doba i godišnjih doba ^(Seasons)kako^(Ages) bi spriječio da se plamen zapali. Međutim, dva su upaljena, a Twinrova hvata princezu Zeldu^{(Princess Zelda)} kako bi zapalila treći plamen. Link ih pronalazi i pobjeđuje, kao i pobjeđuje Ganonov napola uskrsnuli oblik kako bi vratio mir u zemlju. 

Veza između svjetova^{(A Link Between Worlds)}

Mračni čarobnjak po imenu Yuga pretvara Sedam mudraca^{(Seven Sages)} u slike i krade ih, kao i otima Zeldu^(Zelda) . On je u stanju uskrsnuti dio Ganonove moći i koristi je za borbu protiv Linka^(Link) . Međutim, Link ga uspijeva pobijediti. 

Legenda o Zeldi^{(The Legend of Zelda)}

Prva ikad napravljena igra Legend of Zelda zapravo je jako daleko na pravoj vremenskoj liniji. U ovoj igri, Ganon vodi zlu vojsku da povrati Triforce^(Triforce) . 

Zelda šalje Impu^(Impa) da pronađe nekoga tko će poraziti Ganona^(Ganon) . Međutim, Ganon hvata Zeldu^(Zelda) i šalje druge da pronađu Impu^(Impa) . Impa^(Link) naposljetku otkriva Linka^(Impa) i šalje ga u potragu za osam komada Triforcea^(Triforce) . On to koristi kako bi potom porazio Ganona^(Ganon) .

Linkova avantura^{(Adventure of Link)}

Ganonovi pristaše nastavljaju stvarati probleme unutar Hyrulea^(Hyrule) . Impa dovodi Link u Sjeverni dvorac^{(North Castle)} , gdje princeza Zelda^{(Princess Zelda)} leži u prokletom snu. Link je poslan da pronađe posljednji komad Triforcea^(Triforce) u Velikoj palači^{(Great Palace)} kako bi probudio Zeldu^(Zelda) .

Heroj je uspješan: dječja era^{(The Hero Is Successful: Child Era)}

Ovaj dio podjele vremenske trake događa se nakon Ocarine^(Ocarina) of Time , kada Zelda na kraju igre šalje Linka natrag u djetinjstvo. ^(Link)Link napušta Hyrulea^(Hyrule) u ovom trenutku kako bi potražio svoju vilu, Navi .

Majorina maska^{(Majora’s Mask)}

Tijekom Linkove potrage, gubi se u šumi. Upoznaje Skull Kida^{(Skull Kid)} , koji nosi Majorinu masku^(Mask) . Skull Kid ukrade Linkova konja i on ga potjera u svijet Termine^(Termina) . 

Skull Kid planira uništiti Terminu^(Termina) s mjesecom iznad nje, a Link ima tri dana da spasi zemlju od ove sudbine. Uspije pobijedivši demona unutar Majorine maske^(Mask) i napusti Terminu^(Termina) kako bi nastavio tražiti Navi .

Princeza sumraka^{(Twilight Princess)}

U ovoj igri^{(this game)} , Sedam mudraca^{(Seven Sages)} je poslalo Ganondorfa^(Ganondorf) u carstvo sumraka^{(Twilight Realm)} . U ovom carstvu on se udružuje s jednim od kraljevskih slugu obitelji Twili , Zantom^(Zant) , kako bi preuzeo prijestolje od princeze Midne^{(Princess Midna)} . Midna pronalazi Linka^(Link) u Hyruleu^(Hyrule) i zajedno se vraćaju u Sumrak^(Twilight) , koji Link pretvara u oblik vuka. 

Midna i Link zajedno pobjeđuju Zanta^(Zant) , a Link pobjeđuje Ganona ^(Ganon)Majstorskim^{(Master Sword)} mačem . Midna se vraća u carstvo sumraka^{(Twilight Realm)} i prekida vezu između svjetova. 

Four Swords + Hyrule Adventure

Dugo nakon Ganonove^(Ganon) smrti, Hyrule i pleme Gerudo su se popravili. Međutim, u plemenu je rođena reinkarnacija Ganona . ^(Ganon)Planirao je da oslobodi drevnog zla Vaatija iz Četiri mača^{(Four Sword)} i stvorio je alter ego Linka^(Link) nazvan Shadow Link . 

Prije nego što je Zelda uspjela obnoviti pečat na Vaatiju^(Vaati) , Shadow Link ga je pustio. Stvarni Link je uzeo Četiri mača^{(Four Sword)} i podijelio se na četiri Linka^(Link) , putujući kroz Hyrule i na kraju pobijedivši Vaatija^(Vaati) i Ganona^(Ganon) i zapečativši ga u Četiri mača^{(Four Sword)} . 

Heroj je uspješan: doba odraslih^{(The Hero Is Successful: Adult Era)}

Ova vremenska linija odvija se nakon Ocarine^(Ocarina) of Time , nakon što Link nestane iz Hyrulea^(Hyrule) nakon što je Ganon poražen. 

The Wind Waker

Bogovi su Hyrule^(Hyrule) potopili u vodu kako bi je zapečatili i njome zapečatili Ganona^(Ganon) . Preselili su stanovnike u planine, koje su postale otoci kada je Hyrule potopljen. Dio Triforcea^(Triforce) , Triforce mudrosti^(Wisdom) , podijeljen je na dva dijela i dat Hyruleovom kralju^(Hyrule) kao i njegovoj kćeri Zeldi^(Zelda) . 

U događajima Wind Wakera^{(Wind Waker)} , Link susreće pirata Tetru^(Tetra) i pronalazi Majstorski mač^{(Master Sword)} . Pokušava pobijediti Ganondorfa^(Ganondorf) , ali ne uspijeva. Donosi mač Hyruleovom^(Hyrule) kralju, koji ga popravlja. Link i Tetra zatim idu u pobjedu nad Ganondorfom^(Ganondorf) . Svi dijelovi Triforcea^(Triforce) se spajaju, ali prije nego što ga Ganon može iskoristiti, kralj ulazi i poželi da Hyrule bude zauvijek potopljena. 

Fantomski pješčani sat^{(Phantom Hourglass)}

Dok Link i Tetra kreću^(Tetra) istraživati ​​zemlju, Tetra je namamljena na brod duhova^{(Ghost Ship)} i odvedena. Link je pokušava spasiti, ali se izgubi u oceanu i završi na otoku Mercay^{(Mercay Island)} , gdje upoznaje vilu Cielu^(Ciela) . 

Link i Ciela naposljetku pronalaze brod duhova^{(Ghost Ship)} , ali otkrivaju da je Tetru^(Tetra) pretvorio u kamen demon Bellum . Povežite^(Link) putovanja kako biste iskovali Fantomski mač^{(Phantom Sword)} , a zatim ga upotrijebite da porazite Belluma^(Bellum) i spasite Tetru^(Tetra) . Link i Tetra nastavljaju svoje putovanje u potrazi za novom zemljom. 

Staze duhova^{(Spirit Tracks)}

Na kraju, Link i Tetra otkrivaju zemlju prekrivenu tragovima duhova^{(Spirit Tracks)} , koju je tamo stavio Lokomo da zapečati demona Malladusa^(Malladus) . Tetra je ovu zemlju smatrala novom Hyrulom^(Hyrule) . 

Nakon stotinu godina, ti tragovi duhova^{(Spirit Tracks)} počinju nestajati. Link , u ovoj reinkarnaciji sada Kraljevski inženjer^{(Royal Engineer)} , i Zelda , potomak Tetre^(Tetra) , putuju zajedno kako bi obnovili tragove duhova^{(Spirit Tracks)} . 

Era katastrofe^{(Calamity Era)}

Tisućama godina nakon događaja iz ovih igara, i 10 000 godina prije Breath of the Wild , pleme Sheikah^{(Sheikah Tribe)} radilo je na sprječavanju Ganonova sljedećeg uskrsnuća. 

Tisućama godina kasnije rođena je još jedna princeza Zelda i ona i ^{(Princess Zelda)}Link su još jednom otišle zaustaviti Calamity Ganon . Međutim, Link je bio teško ozlijeđen dok je pokušavao pomoći Zeldi^(Zelda) i morao je spavati 100 godina u Svetištu ^(Shrine)Uskrsnuća^{(Resurrection)} . 

Zelda je sama otišla zaustaviti Calamityja Ganona^{(Calamity Ganon)} , ali da bi to učinila morala se zapečatiti i Ganonom^(Ganon) , jer ga nije mogla u potpunosti zapečatiti bez Majstorskog mača^{(Master Sword)} , koji samo Link može koristiti. 

Dah divljine^{(Breath of the Wild)}

Nakon sto je godina prošlo, Zeldin^(Zelda) pečat je oslabio, ali Link je bio spreman ponovno se probuditi. Koristeći Shiekah Slate koji je ostavila Zelda , Link je uspio pronaći Majstorski mač^{(Master Sword)} , osloboditi božanske zvijeri^{(Divine Beasts)} i mačem ozlijediti Calamitya Ganona kako bi ga ^{(Calamity Ganon)}Zelda konačno mogla u potpunosti zapečatiti. 

Kojim redoslijedom biste trebali igrati igre Legend of Zelda^{(Zelda Games)} ?

Gore navedeni redoslijed najbolji je kako bi sveobuhvatna priča iza igara imala najviše smisla. Međutim, igranje ih po redoslijedu objavljivanja također može biti dobar način. 

Ako igrate igre službenim redoslijedom, možda ćete se zapitati što učiniti kada dođe do podjele vremenske trake. U tom slučaju možete prvo igrati bilo koji put, samo pazite da kada igrate kroz Hero is Successful path igrate dječju eru, a zatim eru odraslih. 

Ako ste novi u franšizi Zelda , svakako bih savjetovao igranje igara ovim službenim redoslijedom, jer može odgovoriti na mnoga pitanja koja možda imate o seriji i omogućiti puno ugodnije igranje. 

Best Way to Play the Legend of Zelda Games in Order

From an outsidе perspective, every Legend of Zelda game seems to have a completelу differеnt story, with only a few constants, such as the appearance of Link and Zelda in every game. 

However, each game is connected through the background lore, and there is a true order you can play the games that follows the storyline of the games. This is different from the order of release.

This article will outline where the canonically correct order came from, as well as how to play the games in this way. 

The True Order of the Legend of Zelda Games

In 2011, Nintendo released the Hyrule Historia book, which detailed the master timeline of all the Legend of Zelda games. In this timeline, Link and Zelda are essentially reincarnated for hundreds of years into each of the game’s storylines. 

The timeline begins with the backstory of the three Golden Goddesses, who, after bringing order to the world of Hyrule, created the Triforce (another recurring motif in the games) that can grant its holder their heart’s desire. They entrusted the protection of the Triforce to the goddess Hylia. 

Eventually, a demon king called Demise rose to power against Hyrule. Hylia took the remaining humans of the world and brought them to a land in the sky, called Skyloft. She also hid the Triforce there. 

After sealing away Demise, Hylia created the Goddess Sword and the spirit Fi to bring a chosen hero to it as a precaution for when the demon king’s seal broke. Then, in order to continue to protect the Triforce, she transferred her soul into a human, who would be Zelda. 

After these events is when the first game in this timeline begins. 

Skyward Sword

This game is the very beginning and starts when Link is led by Fi to draw the Goddess Sword. Zelda also regains her memories as the goddess Hylia. Link seeks out the Special Flames in order to temper his sword into the Master Sword, which he eventually uses to travel to the past through the Gates of Time to take down Demise. 

The Minish Cap

As word about the Triforce gets out, many groups and individuals begin to seek it out. However, beings known as the Picori came from the sky to protect Hyrule from evil beings. They used the Picori Blade to do so and the evil was sealed away in the Bound Chest.

In this game, a corrupted Picori known as Vaati takes the Picori Blade and opens the Bound Chest again, unleashing the evil, breaking the blade, and turning Zelda to stone. Link, reincarnated as a blacksmith in the game, is enlisted by the king of Hyrule to reforge the Picori Blade and break the curse on Zelda. 

Four Swords

Vaati reappears in this game, kidnapping Zelda and keeping her in the Palace of Winds. Link then draws the Four Swords, splitting him into four separate Links. They gather keys throughout the land to enter the palace and save Zelda. 

Ocarina of Time 

Ganondorf appears in this game, attempting to obtain the Triforce. In order to do this, he curses the Deku Tree of Kokiri Forest in an attempt to gain the Kokiri’s Emerald. As he is dying, the Deku Tree sends out Link and the fairy Navi to stop Ganondorf. 

Link eventually meets Zelda, and the two decide to travel through the Door of Time to get to the Triforce before Ganon. Link draws the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, but is trapped for seven years, to reawaken as the Hero of Time. During those years, Ganondorf brought the land of Hyrule into darkness. However, he was only able to obtain one portion of the Triforce. 

Link and Zelda obtain the other two pieces and are able to eventually seal Ganondorf away in the Evil Realm.

Timeline Split

During the events of Ocarina of Time, the timeline is split three different ways. The first is the Fallen Hero timeline when Link is defeated by Ganon. The other two take place where Link does defeat Ganon, yet are split further into Child and Adult timelines, due to Zelda sending Link back in time to his childhood during Ocarina of Time. 

The Hero Is Defeated

In this timeline, Ganondorf obtains the entire Triforce and defeats Link. However, Zelda and the Seven Sages are able to seal Ganondorf into the Sacred Realm for a short time. 

A Link to the Past

After Hyrule undergoes many hardships, the king begins to seek out anyone who can put an end to it. The wizard Agahnim comes forward and mysteriously brings order to Hyrule, and the king appoints Agahnim as chief advisor and priest. Using this power, the wizard brainwashes Hyrule’s knights and rids of the king, in an attempt to break Ganon’s seal. 

He puts Zelda in a cell, where she calls out to Link telepathically. He rescues her and brings her to a sanctuary to keep her safe. However, Agahnim eventually finds her and kidnaps her. Link, now with the Master Sword, finds Agahnim, who turns into Ganon, and defeats him. 

Link’s Awakening

Link now decides to train in order to be ready for future troubles. However, during a journey on a boat, he runs into a storm and gets stuck on an island. He meets Marin here, who resembles Zelda. 

Link discovers that in order to leave the island he must wake the Wind Fish, who upon waking would cause the island to disappear as though it were just the Wind Fish’s own dream. Link eventually does so and wakes up on a piece of driftwood of his old ship. 

Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages

When Link one day touches the Triforce in Hyrule Castle, it sends him to the land of Holodrum. Meanwhile, two witches named Twinrova plot to revive Ganon once more using three special flames and a human sacrifice. 

In Holodrum, Link adventures to save the Oracle of Ages and Seasons in order to prevent the flames from being lit. However, two of them are lit, and Twinrova captures Princess Zelda in order to light the third flame. Link finds them and defeats them, as well as defeating Ganon’s half-resurrected form to bring peace back to the land. 

A Link Between Worlds

A dark wizard named Yuga turns the Seven Sages into paintings and steals them, as well as kidnapping Zelda. He is able to resurrect some of Ganon’s power and uses it to fight against Link. However, Link is able to defeat him. 

The Legend of Zelda

The first Legend of Zelda game ever made actually falls very far along on the true timeline. In this game, Ganon leads an evil army to retrieve the Triforce. 

Zelda sends Impa to find someone to defeat Ganon. However, Ganon captures Zelda and sends others to find Impa. Link is eventually discovered by Impa and is sent on a quest to find the eight pieces of the Triforce. He uses this to then defeat Ganon.

Adventure of Link

Ganon’s henchmen continue to cause issues within Hyrule. Link is brought by Impa to North Castle, where Princess Zelda lays in a cursed sleep. Link is sent to find the final piece of the Triforce in the Great Palace in order to wake Zelda.

The Hero Is Successful: Child Era

This part of the timeline split takes place after Ocarina of Time, when Link is sent by Zelda back to childhood at the end of the game. Link leaves Hyrule at this point to search for his fairy, Navi.

Majora’s Mask

During Link’s search, he becomes lost in a forest. He meets Skull Kid, who wears the Majora’s Mask. Skull Kid steals Link’s horse and he chases him into the world of Termina. 

Skull Kid plans to destroy Termina with the moon above it, and Link has three days to save the land from this fate. He succeeds by defeating the demon inside the Majora’s Mask, and leaves Termina to continue to look for Navi.

Twilight Princess

In this game, The Seven Sages have sent Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm. In this realm, he partners with one of the royal servants of the Twili family, Zant,  to take the throne from Princess Midna. Midna finds Link in Hyrule and together they go back to the Twilight, which transforms Link into a wolf form. 

Together, Midna and Link defeat Zant, and Link defeats Ganon with the Master Sword. Midna returns to the Twilight Realm and breaks the link between the worlds. 

Four Swords + Hyrule Adventure

Long after Ganon’s death, Hyrule and the Gerudo tribe have made amends. However, a reincarnation of Ganon was born in the tribe. He plotted to release the ancient evil Vaati from the Four Sword, and created an alter ego of Link called Shadow Link. 

Before Zelda could renew the seal on Vaati, Shadow Link released him. The actual Link took the Four Sword and split into four Links, journeying through Hyrule and eventually defeating Vaati and Ganon, and sealing him in the Four Sword. 

The Hero Is Successful: Adult Era

This timeline takes place after Ocarina of Time, after Link disappears from Hyrule once Ganon is defeated. 

The Wind Waker

Hyrule was submerged in water by the gods in order to seal it and to seal Ganon with it. They moved inhabitants to the mountains, which became islands when Hyrule was flooded. Part of the Triforce, the Triforce of Wisdom, was split in two and given to Hyrule’s king as well as his daughter Zelda. 

In the events of Wind Waker, Link meets the pirate Tetra, and finds the Master Sword. He attempts to defeat Ganondorf, but fails. He brings the sword to Hyrule’s king, who fixes it. Link and Tetra then go to defeat Ganondorf again. All the pieces of the Triforce come together, but before Ganon can use it, the king steps in to wish for Hyrule to be flooded forever. 

Phantom Hourglass

As Link and Tetra set out to explore the land, Tetra is lured onto the Ghost Ship and taken away. Link tries to save her, but becomes lost in the ocean and ends up on Mercay Island, where he meets the fairy Ciela. 

Link and Ciela eventually find the Ghost Ship, but find that Tetra has been turned to stone by the demon Bellum. Link journeys to forge the Phantom Sword, and then uses it to defeat Bellum and save Tetra. Link and Tetra continue their journey to find a new land. 

Spirit Tracks

Eventually, Link and Tetra discover a land covered in Spirit Tracks, put there by the Lokomo to seal the demon Malladus. Tetra deemed this land as the new Hyrule. 

After a hundred years, these Spirit Tracks begin to disappear. Link, in this reincarnation now a Royal Engineer, and Zelda, the descendant of Tetra, travel together to restore the Spirit Tracks. 

Calamity Era

Thousands of years after the events of these games, and 10,000 years before Breath of the Wild, the Sheikah Tribe worked to prevent Ganon’s next resurrection. 

Thousands of years later, another Princess Zelda was born, and she and Link went to stop Calamity Ganon once more. However, Link was injured greatly while trying to help Zelda and had to sleep for 100 years in the Shrine of Resurrection. 

Zelda went to stop Calamity Ganon on her own, but in order to do so she had to seal herself with Ganon as well, as she couldn’t fully seal him away without the Master Sword, which only Link can use. 

Breath of the Wild

After a hundred years had passed, Zelda’s seal had weakened, but Link was ready to awaken again. Using the Shiekah Slate left by Zelda, Link was able to find the Master Sword, free the Divine Beasts, and injure Calamity Ganon with the sword so that Zelda could finally seal him away fully. 

What Order Should You Play Legend of Zelda Games?

The order listed above is best in order for the overarching story behind the games to make the most sense. However, playing them in order of release can be a good way to go, too. 

If you play the games in the official order, you might wonder what to do when the timeline split occurs. In that case, you can play either path first, just make sure that when you’re playing through the Hero is Successful path that you play the child era, then the adult era. 

If you’re new to the Zelda franchise, I’d definitely advise playing the games in this official order, as it can answer many questions you may have about the series and make for a much more enjoyable playthrough.
