It and Tears of the Kingdom exist in a whole other reality from the rest of the franchise

It’s official: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom don’t fit on any previous Legend of Zelda timeline. As revealed by Nintendo this weekend, the two open-world games that bookended the Switch’s lifespan stand alone in their own version of reality. Which means all that time you spent trying to work out how they fit in with the previous games was futile. The idea that the Legend of Zelda games exist in some sort of coherent timeline has always struck me as a path that leads to madness.

There are two previously established distinct timelines in official Zelda cannon, known as “Hero is Defeated” and “Hero is Triumphant,” which branch off after the events of Ocarina of Time. The latter branch immediately splits into “Child Era” and “Adult Era,” while Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom just sit awkwardly off to the side, not fitting in anywhere.
