BOOK Zelda Timeline OFFIZIELL enthüllt!

Official Zelda Timeline to be Revealed on December 21

I've actually known about this for a little while now so I'm extremely happy that I can finally report on this. Zelda fanboys, your prayers to Hylia are finally going to be answered. After 25 years of speculation, Nintendo is finally going to be revealing the official timeline to the Legend of Zelda series next Wednesday. The timeline will be published in Hyrule Historia, the 25th anniversary collector's book that chronicles the history of the Zelda series.

The confirmation of the timeline's reveal in the book comes under the second sub-header in the Table of Contents, titled “History of Hyrule,” which reveals the full chronology of the series. While each of the mainline games, save for the Four Sword titles, seem to be included in the timeline, you'll have to wait until next Wednesday to see the full reveal of the story. The following is the translation of the "History of Hyrule" sub-header (courtesy of New Nintendo):

History of Hyrule

Split 3: Link is defeated by Ganon in Ocarina Of Time

After Link dies in Ocarina of Time, Ganon obtains the entire Triforce. The Seven Sages seal away Ganon and the whole Triforce as a last resort, but villains with their eyes on the Triforce make for the Sacred Realm, which eventually turns into the Dark World and is filled with evil power. The Seven Sages then try to seal away the Sacred Realm itself, but end up fighting with monsters. This is the Imprisoning War of A Link to the Past.
