    what is up with the sequals to zelda. I can barly tell wich comes first

  3. ajax5405 says:

    hmm, thats given me a lot to think about, its probably Ocarina is the start, then link to the past, the the original legend of zelda, adventure of link with the windwaker taking place at the very end, majora’s mask part of its own parallel time line, phantom hourglass a sequal to wind waker and the rest taking place in their own parallel dimenions, wow i looked a little to deep into this for comfert

  4. TigerFern says:

    I’m playing Zelda as I watch this :D @thatguy with you on that, I love old games!

  5. supermark64 says:

  6. zelda4evr says:

    confusing timeline, but still a great seris or the greatest!

  7. dcwombat says:

    James thanks for your videos. They got me playing SNES and NES and even Genesis games. I love the classics now. Thanks

    I dont even want to take a stab at this time line. Its been fucked on to many times. Ocarina is the start I think that much is clear. The majora’s mask. Wind waker, which I loved playing despite the haters, comes next followed by Link to the pasy. In between is where I fit the rest with the two nes zelds comeing last. Twilight princess I havn’t played all the way though so I can’t say. The minish cap I think may be the start, because it is where link gets his cap. God knows where the fuck this new zelda from e3 will fit in.

    i’ve never played a zelda game
    but the last one looked pretty good :)

    Hey James! You know the new Zelda game that was just announced, Skyward Sword? guess what…….IT’S ANOTHER PREQUEL!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  11. ass7 says:

    twilight princes is the squeal to majoras mask because u play as adult link instead of kid link and the link from wind waker is a different link and links cross bow adventure its a training game to use the wii zapper so that doesn’t count as a zelda game

  12. Ferrobbra says:

    i think they are too fuckin lazy to make a new characters. so the most logical scenario is that its an alternate universe in which link, zelda and the rest of the characters suffer the indignity of being reborn over and over only to live out slightly different time line. fuckin cunts and their paradox’s

  13. Christian says:

    the most complicated part of the time line to me is wind waker i mean hyrule is still underwater in the end so that confused me so i was just like screw it

  14. matt13 says:

    The timeline is so messed up, but apparently there is a Master Timeline but it’s a confidential document. The best part is that Syward Sword is going to be a prequel to Ocarina of Time

  15. HawkeyeAVGNfan says:

    i’ve beaten Legend of zelda ocarina of time and windwaker and twilight princess… and some others i don’t remember. What i like about zelda that the boss battles are EPIC! orcarina of time seemed powerful. wind waker seemed i don’t know how to explain but twilight princess was just awesome especially the duel it felt EPIC and i MEAN EPIC the best duel ever!
    when i saw windwaker on the video i almost cried i remember when i’ve beaten it so epic awesome
    SO I DOn’T FRIGGIN CARE ABOUT THE TIMELINE JUST PLAY THE GAME AND BEAT THE HECK OUT OF IT
    AWesome episode

    JAMES I am begging u have got to do a review of both MODERN WARFARE 1 and 2 cause if u don’t i’ll die I think theres a modern warfare 3 in the works and if u go to youtube theres a video where there talking about a modern warfare 3 and they show the cover of it I hope it actually comes otherwise I’LL PRETEND MODERN WARFARE NEVER EXISTED AND I’ll GIVE IT TO A HOEBOE NAMED BILLYBOB.

  17. foxman says:

    i would love to see James do a chronologically confused on the gradius/salamander/nemesis/life force series……konami really fucked up on that one…..

  18. phoenix252005 says:

    Holy Fucking Shit that is complicated!! I never thought of tem that way,I just really enjoyed playin them. You know what would be a great cronologically confused topic? The Metroid series! DO it James! YEAH! lol

  19. SpeedyEric says:

    Wow. “The Legend of Zelda” was like the “Lord of the Rings” of Nintendo. I find that awesome, even though I haven’t played any of the games.

    10:15- At least you gotta be thankful that the time line of the Star Wars Saga isn’t fracked up like the one in Zelda.

  20. talotiti says:

    Zelda is only a legend, so why we must try to find the timeline? Maybe there are many different versions of that same legend, so… I don’t know. Just enjoy the games :D

  21. RaDioHeaD4life says:

    I still think this is an amazing video! I have played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past last year, and since then I want to play another Zelda game. God love the Nerd! :) :) :) :)

  22. TSE_Pictures says:

    To me, the Link series is basicly like Gundam, not ever single series connects, but its so fun to find the similarities in them.
    Although I have always felt wind waker was connected with Ocerina of Time because of the one building you go in on Wind waker, and you look at the stainglass windows, and you can recognize the characters on them.

  23. denem1210 says:

    im gonna try to set one thing straight about the legend of zelda timeline and answer the question for anyone who doesn’t know this yet but recently nintendo power magazine released a collectors special called Inside the legend the official guide to the legend of zelda. in this magazine on page 6 it states “Although some titles do share continuity – such as The Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks – others are totally independant; there is no official timeline or chronology that ties the entire series together.” Im only posting for the people who have just learned about this problem by watching the video.

  24. Pokerfish says:

    Okay you said we have a sequel to the original, a prequel to the original, a sequel to the prequel, a prequel to the prequel, and a sequel to the young Link of the prequel’s prequel and I could barely keep up with that, but there’s EVEN MORE THE TIMELINE?!?!? Holy crap…

  25. ninja1 says:

    ocarina of time is the first one, actually maybe the minish cap is first then ocarina of time follows that. after that i havent got a fucking clue, but i disagree with james that a link to the past is anywhere near the start
