Zelda timeline chart, 2026

The picture is an original reading of Nintendo's chart, not a scan of Hyrule Historia. The words under it are the part you can quote.

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

Read the chart from the top downward. One trunk is the story before Ocarina of Time. Three banners are the split: Downfall, Child, and Adult. The wild-era band is separate because Nintendo's page does not call Breath of the Wild a fourth result of that battle.

Download the PNG or SVG below, or copy the HTML embed code. Please credit Zelda Timeline and link this page, and do not crop the Nintendo name onto it. The drawing does not include a Nintendo logo. Game key art elsewhere on the site is credited separately.

• Downfall holds the fallen-hero games, ending at Zelda II.
• Child holds Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, and Four Swords Adventures.
• Adult holds The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks.
• The later-games section holds Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom; Wild era is a community label.
