Zelda’s Boss Offers a Giant Disclaimer over “Official” Series Timeline

Thinking of that way of developing the games, it may be correct to say that the story is an appendix to that. I even think that setting Skyward Sword as the “first story,” was merely a coincidence.

While reading over “The Full History of Hyrule,” it’s possible that some parts may look contradictory. For instance, the Mogma race or the beetle item that appear on the very first story do not appear on any other game that takes place in the future. I’d like to ask everyone just to enjoy the book and to be broad-minded, and to think that those parts are the way they are because of the way Zelda games are developed.

In other words, it’s a timeline, sort of, but only in so far as it’s what they’ve thrown together and casually arranged after the fact. So those people stressing out over why some parts fit the provided chronology and some parts don’t, relax!

The translation was helpfully provided by Glitterberri, who is also diligently working on translating the rest of the book page-by-page as well. You can check it out at the link below.
