Nintendo of Canada says Tri Force Heroes isn’t in the Zelda timeline

Since The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes’ announcement last week, the question has been raised about where the game falls within the overall Zelda timeline. Hiromasa Shikata, director of the project, seemed unsure about it when asked by Game Informer. If Nintendo of Canada’s Julie Gagnon is to be believed, Tri Force Heroes “is completely different and not in the timeline of Zelda.”
