This statement is from 1998/1999, when Ocarina of Time had just come out. Back then, attempting to piece together the Zelda games was still easy. And as it was said, Miyamoto is the guy who does the gameplay stuff in Zelda games. He develops the mechanics first and then others build a story around it. Miyamoto may be amongst the highest ranking executives amongst Nintendo employees, but he doesn't do everything and knows everything, just like how Inafune hasn't complete contol over everything going on in Rockman.

Yeah, but it's not like that changes anything. All the other games can go before, betwee, or after the first 3 Zeldas, but that wouldn't make the "OoT->the first 3 games" statement any less true.

If you can trade right now I can let you borrow the Arceus that Shell gave me.

But people loooove arguing amongst themselves about the tiny details that makes the games OBVIOUSLY stand in this or that timeline. I say screw it. =P

Again, as I said, if you don't care keep not caring, just let the people that do have their fun.

And I don't think anyone is even trying to argue with that last paragraph.

Hehe, I do think it'd make more sense if it came before, but he said it, not me

NP: Where do all the Zelda games fall into place when arranged chronologically by their stories?

Miyamoto: Ocarina of Time is the first story, then the original Legend of Zelda, then Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and finally A Link to the Past. It's not very clear where Link's Awakening fits in--it could be anytime after Ocarina of Time.

I think LttP comes before the originals, considering the name (A Link to the Past, indicating the events are from the past of the originals), but the rest looks good.

The OoT->Zelda 1 and 2->LttP comes right from Miyamoto's mouth actually.

And yeah, that second line is a good quote. What's important is that people enjoy the games themselves, the whole story and timeline thing is not as important and just there for the people that care about it.

Closest things I found with a quick google search...

http://gannon-banned.com/#timeline

And to try to end this timeline discussion, if we go by Word of God then the facts about the timeline assumind they haven't retconned things yet would be:

MC->FS->FSA->the rest

OoT->Zelda 1->AoL->LttP->LA

OoT->MM->TP
      ->WW->PH->ST

SS->OoT

OoA<->OoS

Everything else (unless I'm forgetting something) is just speculation/fanon. If you don't care about the timeline, fine, don't care, just don't complain about those who do and enjoy discussing it (@ no one specificly).

In others, like Twilight Princess, they don't.

You mean besides Word of God?

This doesn't change the fact that there's no official timeline from Nintendo, nor will there ever be at the rate things are going.

Wasn't there an interview with Miyamato or Iwata or someone else saying that they do have one?

Well, the Mexican team does have a reason to be angry at least. The second goal was still completely stupid and totally their fault though.

Oh, so after all those cancelled goals that weren't really offside, now they want to count one that looks like it was an offside? -__-

If you can buy me international plane tickets and convince my parents to let me go to a convention in another country just to meet some people I met on the internet, sure.

@Alice: You know, that sounded so much like me that if I wasn't sure that I was me, that you were you, and that you're not me I almost could've thought you were me

What you said only makes weirder the fact that the arcade version of Super is getting released months after the console version.
