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-?
