Zelda Tears of the Kingdom timeline

Coming off of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might be curious as to where the game fits into the series’ overall timeline. Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the game’s director, was asked about that very topic in an interview with Famitsu.

The outlet pointed out how Skyward Sword was previously the start of things with Breath of the Wild happening at the end of the timeline. However, as players know, Tears of the Kingdom also touches on Hyrule’s founding. Given that, he was asked if it could also be the beginning.
