The Timeline of Zelda part 2

Since Nintendo announced "Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" at the Game Developers' Conference, I have been wondering what I am going to do with it in my timeline. Fact is, until I can play it through, I cannot fit it into the timeline. I can say though that even though this game is being cel-shaded like with "Wind Waker" and "Phantom Hourglass", It is not within the portion of timeline. But thats enough of something that's not here yet.
As I had stated in the previous part of my the timeline, the story does start with "Ocarina of Time". This can be proven in the eyes of many fans by one simple event: The rise of Ganondorf to power. Ganondorf is the only character in the series that is the same person. Every other re-occurring character, even Zelda and Link, has been a reincarnation or descendent.
The next game in the story is "Majora's Mask", which takes place after Link meets Zelda in the end of "Ocarina of Time". This is of corse the same Link at this point.
The next point that i can touch in the timeline cannot for sure be placed right next to "Majora's Mask", but it is the closest I can get

The first 3 games released on a console are already organized into a timeline. First, there is "Link to the Past". No idea what could be placed (if anything) in between, but "The Hyrule Fantasy" (Known in the US simply as "The Legend of Zelda") follows. My theory at this point is that "The Hyrule Fantasy" takes place in only a small portion of Hyrule, as "The Adventure of Link" (which takes place maybe just months after) is in a much larger area of the kingdom. This larger area includes towns, villages, and the Hyrule castle (which is your starting point).

That just about concludes this edition of the Timeline of Zelda. When next I continue with this, I will have researched the release timeline in it's entirety, and maybe have other surprises. 

Timeline as currently standing:
Ocarina of Time-Majora's Mask-?
?-Link to the Past-?-Legend of Zelda: The Hyrule Fantasy-Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link-?

FF1WMC: next up, Marsh Cave

Well, looks like I'm not gonna be very frustrated at the game this week (sorry for those who wanted to hear me rant about how I'm hating this game :p ) Just bought the spell Esuna for Yuna, so I don't have to worry as much about getting poisoned. Also stocking up on other spells, Including Invis1
Still, I'm not as far as I would like to be, I would rather be getting ready to head from Elfhime to Melmond, getting ready to brave the first 3 floors of Earth Cave.

FF1WMC: No gil + no EXP means no progress

Currently, I am still in Elfhime. What am I doing there still you ask? Simple, LEVELING AND GAINING GIL.
amazing how hard gil is to come by when you aren't very powerful.

Yes, I have yet to even get the crown. I am NOT looking forward to facing those Piscodemons.

FF1WMC: 9 pirates, 4 white mages.... no sweat!

I decided to get my weekly update in a day early since I am going to be completely busy on Sunday.

I was just about to throw my PS1 out the window due to the fact that I kept dieing on my way to Matoya's Cave. So I went to the Temple of Chaos and leveled up some. After leveling up, I still kept dieing. But eventually, I managed to get there, and back to Cornelia. After all that, I decided to head to Provaca (after all that, It was still hard). Finally, I made it to provaca and fought the pirates, and as always, it was as easy as fighting a group of goblins (maybe easier). So after that, I went to Elfhime and saved there.

Can anyone tell me when this actually gets easy? @_@
