The Legend of Zelda timeline can be confusing for players trying to decipher where a game falls in the chronology of the franchise, and the official timeline issued by Nintendo doesn't do much to clarify it. With the series branching into three separate timelines following the events of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the series can get complicated quite fast. One of the branches in The Legend of Zelda series timeline follows Ocarina of Time's adult Link and creates a unique scenario that occurs when the Hero of Time vanishes from the world.
