The following was pre written by me in preparation for this post:

In July of 1987, Nintendo released, in North America, A video game that changed the face of RPGs forever. Released on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), "The Legend of Zelda" became one o Nintendo's greatest hits. It is classified as an Action RPG, the first of its kind. As a young gamer, it was my first RPG. The game was about 2 and a half years old by then, as was I. It was the spark that ignited my love for RPGs.
About a year after its release, Nintendo decided to follow up with a sequel. Taking place just months after its predecessor, "Zelda 2: The adventure of Link" took place in a larger portion of the kingdom of Hyrule, and played differently from the first one. It was so much so, that it was not well received by fans.
Nintendo had listened to the woes of the fans and for the third game, they took it back to a familiar style. "The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past" Was the first and only game in the series to find its way onto the Super Nintendo, and it was found to astound gamers. It was also found to take place before the first 2 games. As we had gotten use to this gam being the beginning, Nintendo introduced its first entry on the Nintendo 64. "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is recognized by fans as the first in the story, and it is just where this project of mine begins.

The Legend of Zelda timeline is a task that no one, not even its creator has ever accomplished, which makes this rather difficult.
I will attempt to Include every game in the series in this timeline, with the exception of the Philips CDi Titles, Links Crossbow Training, and the japanese only Satellaview titles (which don't really belong in the LoZ Timeline anyways.)
My current knowledge on the timeline is as follows
Ocarina of Time__Majora's Mask__
