Re: A Completely Developer Stated Timeline

What developer quote has ever placed AlttP/La last? I heard LA maybe just after MM or between OoT and MM, but at the time they said nothing about where AlttP went.

If you go strictly by in game evidence, and miss the split (which could... possibly happen to a lot of people, but I had thought about it before any official stance was taken, after tWW) You'd get the old UWM timeline...

OoT/MM-TP-tWW/PH-AttP/LA-OoA/OoS-LoZ/AoL

and

TMC-FS/FSA-AlttP

With a very shaky reason (namely, the triumph forks, and maybe a backdrop) for placing TMC after tWW or not placing the FS saga in the timeline at all

and following only developer quotes, you get:

TMC-FS-OoT/MM-TP
TMC-FS-OoT-tWW/PH

and

AlttP/LA-LoZ/AoL

and

OoA/OoS

and

FSA

Put, as I see it, the best evidence from both forms of evidence together and you get

TMC-FS-OoT/MM-TP
TMC-FS-OoT-tWW/PH-FSA-AlttP/LA-LoZ/AoL-OoS/OoA

And the only thing... some of the UWM and I will never see eye to eye on, maybe until PH disproves one or the other, is the importance of the developer quotes with relation to the FS saga placement.

But everyone must admit that, forming your timeline strictly off the developer quotes, gives the FS saga the early placement. I would say both arguements are perfectly arguable, except that in my opinion, there is not enough in game evidence to support their placement anywhere, and you must therefore go with the highest empirical evidence.
