About this timeline

Zelda Timeline is an independent reference that restates Nintendo's public chronology in pages a search engine can read one era at a time.

Original parchment chart of the Downfall, Child, and Adult branches
Official key art for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2

Key art © Nintendo, used with a link to the product page. Chart art on this site is original.

I built these pages so the three branches, the release dates, and the 2026 wording about two foundings can be checked without scrolling a single interactive graphic. Nintendo still publishes the authoritative chart. This site quotes that chart, dates the check, and links the page.
