The Zelda Timeline was always intentional!
82A video I wanted to make a long time ago. The Zelda timeline kinda gets a bad rep in the Zelda community. A lot of people don't like it and think it doesn't make sense, but it's easy to see how we got to this timeline and why it makes sense. So let's explain how the timeline came to be, how time travel and timelines work and what this means for the future of Zelda.
