Thanks so much for watching fam. Be sure to drop other characters and franchises you’d like to see me cover below 🔥
kingdim hearts >:) (dope vid btw, subbed)
Do you have the outro song name?
Commander Shepard from mass effect
I’m biased so I would like to see another interpretation of timelines for the main series Mario games or for Minecraft’s environmental storytelling.
Do the Final Fantasy Timeline
That Ganondorf monologue from ToTK is fire. Really can't go wrong with Matthew Mercer as a voice actor.
Facts
I can't wait for his performance as Vincent valentine next year
@arseneholmes6266 Next year? More like 2 months, thankfully.
Whoops still getting used to the new year
@@arseneholmes6266 all good
As someone who has a solid understanding of the timeline and has been a fan of the series since early childhood, this is a great video. It's always nice to see more people join the fandom.
I got curious and watched OOT video a few days ago but I’m really confused so I hope this video clears things up because I want to know what’s going on from the beginning
no matter how much zelda timeline videos i watch i never get tired of it. i love the Zelda timeline, i like talking about it, like listening about it. your video is fantastic
I feel that ❤
My headcanon is that in the time between the 3 timelines and botw Hyrule was destroyed, again, and then the Zoni appeared and refounded it around 30,000+ years ago. Also the Zoni are the people from skyloft that stayed and became super advanced
Omg I never thought about the zonai being the advanced civilization of people who stayed in sky loft
Or Nintendo rebooted the series and made new lore
Ooh. It would be interesting if Nintendo made a game that took place between the original timeline and BOTW and TOTK.
My favorite theory for ToTK and BoTW is that both games take place tens of thousands of years into the future and Zelda travelling back in time basically merged the three timelines into one via some sorta time ripple and that's why games from all three timelines are mentioned
Either that or BoTW and ToTK take place after a merged timeline from the events of Hyrule warriors if the game is cannon.
BotW takes place 20,000 years after the timeline ends. That is an incredibly long time in which a lot can happen. So probably all three timelines end up at BotW because it’s just that far into the future
No
I like this theory. It just makes a lot of sense to me.
@@morgancrabtree6248as much sense as the nonsensical lore of BotW and TotK can make
Being a link that uses the four sword has to be the most fun. Link seems like he’s always on a lonely adventure UNTIL he rolls up with his crew of best friends
That are also himself...
Is since its not 2nd pers sing or any plura ατ αιιl!!

“Hey” “listen” (call Navi she’s crying)
Really great video, over the years I've heard tidbits of the lore and the triple timeline stuff but never delved into it. But this video really put into perspective how how confusing the lore can be but also very interesting. Always love when you talk about the development as well can't wait for the Megaman HGH.
Thanks fam!!
THIS!!!! THIS is why the Zelda series is so special. It captivates people to the extent that they make full on dissertations on the subject. There’s thousands of these types of videos out there and as a Zelda veteran I sit and watch every single one! There is just something about this series man……best all around video game franchise imo. The lore, the music, the history, EVERYTHING it’s pioneered /done for the industry is simply astounding. It’s literally peerless. Great vid man, liked and subbed .
You're absolutely right bro. Thanks for watching
The production, passion, the research, and the love that went into this worth it! Keep it up!
Thanks so much fam
As a long time fan ever since i got A Link To The Past for my SNES when i was like 4. I enjoy all content relating to this series.
At age 6 i was blessed with my first Gamecube and The Zelda Master Collection which just sent me even further down the rabbit hole.
This series is just... such a journey.
As someone who has never finished a single zelda game, this video was a great look into the lore! I personally hope Agent 47 gets covered one day
Glad it helped fam
You know, I look at the timelines as representing each of the main characters. The child timeline is Link, the adult timeline is Zelda and the fallen timeline is Ganon (or the bringer of demise). Kinda cool to think about. Out of all the explanations I've seen, you, sir are the GOAT. Very well edited and narrated. Thanks so much for this. Subbed.
Ganondorf with the power of *suavemente* he is unstoppable.
You right
What a fantastic way to cap off 2023, let's go!!!
One theory I've heard/watched about how BOW and TOTK connects to the other games is that the time-traveling done in Skyward Sword created a timeline split similar to the one in Ocarina of Time. "The Untold Story The Lost Timeline of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom" by TH-camr HMK. Though I like the one presented here too.
@01:04:13 Actually Breath of the Wild merges all 3 timelines and gives reference to each of them in-game such as Zelda anointing Link a knight saying - "And have proven yourself worthy of the blessings of the Goddess Hylia. Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight... the sacred blade is forever bound to the soul of the Hero." Zelda is referring to Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess. Picking up one of the many materials found in Breath of the Wild, you'll notice an interesting description about one of them. Rock Salt refers to a 'Great Sea' at one point that swept over Hyrule hinting at the Adult Link timeline and The Wind Waker. Breath of the Wild is confirmed by Nintendo that it unifies all three timelines into one, effectively restarting the entire Zelda timeline.
Dude you nailed this video! As a zelda timeline expert, i am proud of you for this!
Getting a comment like this from a Zelda Timeline expert just made my day. Thank you so much 🥹
wth is a “zelda timeline expert”?
@zeyolivetree someone who has been paid to discuss and explain the zelda timeline (and other time manipulations narraitvies) for creative writing workshops at university 😌
@@jacquelinejones7787 that’s pretty cool. respectfully, i really don’t think it’s so complicated that you’d have to hire someone to explain a split timeline, but i won’t pretend i wouldn’t want to do exactly that.
@zeyolivetree tbf, the basic timeline is kind of like a warmup for how time travel narratives can both work and become overly convoluted... totk is the main focus these days because it is such a clean causal loop. It's also not the only franchise I've discussed, but it's a good start for newer writers to recognize the difficulties of creating even a basic time travel narrative. I'm a big believer that your narrative should work without any supernatural elements, and this particular timeline is a great example of three possible arcs for a character. The question I like to present is "can it work without time travel?" Imo, two of the timelines could work without it, but because adult link is sent back, only the fallen hero timeline actually progresses as linear time from Ocarina through adventures of link
Absolutely the best lore dump video on THE TIMELINE I have ever watched. You have a new fan brother!!!
During Ocarina of Time, the villagers from Hyrule Castle Town escape to Kakariko Village, not Kokiri Forest. Hylians can't get into Kokiri Forest, they'll end up in The Lost Woods and become Stalfos or Skull Kids. But otherwise great job!! 😊
This video was very well done Donte the Zelda sound effecrs was KILLIN ME and I learned som much about the series I didnt more before especially for the games I didnt play which was a LOT OF THEM! And I cant wait to see the Megamen next thats gonna be a wild one to cover it such a classic. Just know your hard work always shows Donte shoutout to you and your editor and everyone that helped fr.
Appreciate you bro
I can't get enough of your lore video, i always gotta get a bowl of chili when I watch.
Glad you like them this much!!
You managed to tackle the legend of Zelda timeline with more ease than you think.
I believe you can burn through the Kingdom Hearts timeline with no issue. I understand your strong opinions on it. But I think you should give it a shot. I think you could do it.
Thanks bro. I have been researching it on the side while working on other content so I'm slowly getting more ready
@TheBlackMastadonte No problem, bro. I found you on your Devil May Cry gaming history, and I've been hooked since. Keep up the great work. 👍 💯 👑
Kingdom Hearts is easy to follow though.
@zedorian6547 depends on who you are and how well you take in multiple pieces of information at once. I myself am heavily into lore seeking from video games that I play kingdom hearts is no exception and I'm also heavily diagnosed with adhd so I sporadically take in many different types of information at once and it's easy for me to remember them because I associate it with visual and sometimes audio cues that allow me to remember those bits of information. But that's just me. Everyone's different.
OK, so I just finished this video, I want to call it a presentation (because you added so much to the telling of the lore while being so focused) I love the way you presented this presentation. you are so charismatic and the amount of energy & personality you bring to this presentation is something that shouldn’t go ignored, but aside from that the editing the music, the love and care, the details how everything on screen was on point with what you were talking about, is simply amazing and I can’t believe that you managed to put this out in the time you have 🔥🤩 I am extremely proud of you friend! I will be watching this from start to finish in one sit through again just because I enjoyed it so much! You covered one of my favorite game series in the best way possible 🤩 thank you we appreciate all the hard work you put into your craft. Thank you to your editors thank you to your thumbnail artist. Everyone did a phenomenal job.🦾🦾
Thanks so much bro 🥹
this is such a good concise, interesting way to explain the timeline!!! you killed this. a great watch for long term fans and new people interested in zelda 💕 also “monkey d tetra” KILLED ME
Thank you!!
Great video man ,this video actually made me more interested in the series
Great job! This was beautifully done, and welcome to the series! My first game was Majora's Mask, and my favorite is still Wind Waker, even after BOTW and TOTK.😊
Btw, Ganon's latest design is now called "Suaveamente"
Great video! Love to see the full complete story finally!
3:46 You also forgot to mention his contribution to the entire future of games, at that point in time games were all like galaga and space invaders. So the creation of The Legend of Zelda is pretty much the sole reason we have any RPG style game and things that came from it.
GREAT video for new year's eve great vid donte
Thanks fam
Great start to the new year!!!
Very well done man i’ve been alive for the whole series and you did an awesome job explaining it in a fun way!
Great video dude he did a really good job and it made a lot of sense. I like your style as well.
Thank you for making this video! As a Zelda fan I appreciate you spreading the lore around! You rock 🥹🤙
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Awesome vid dude!
Awesome video! This is one of the best timeline videos I've seen. So many are pretty boring, but yours was really well done!
Great video and great synopsis! No one can tell the a story like Donte!
Thanks bro
As someone who's been a Zelda fan since OoT, you absolutely nailed this bro! I would wholeheartedly recommend this video to anyone who wants an easy intro into Zelda & its lore. You got a sub from me dawg.
I'm only 10 minutes into this, and I love it already. I love your editing, pacing, and style. Very entertaining!
This is such an amazing video!! Huge props for tackling such a complex timeline and doing it so well 👏
this is the most dope timeline i've ever seen for zelda thanks bro. I'm also glad more people have been sponsored my gsupps i would definitely recommend grampa's ashes and lean
Happy New Year from Germany
Been watching your videos since the first HGH (Jin) and man. The growth, the quality and the level of detail is crazy. Good stuff bro.
First video I've watched of yours, and watched all the way to the end, was amazing to hear all that lore in a proper as linier as possible way. It was very nicely done in terms of story telling for that amount of infomation :D
This was such a well-done timeline video! And you're charisma is great lol im subscribed and im gonna binge your videos now lol
I love your honest gaming histiry videos bro. Its always a delight to watch your videos and thank ypu for doing all this. The vid was amazing keep up the good work
This was really well done bro! Good job❤
Just like the GoW lore, no matter how many vids I watch and knowledge Ik, I’ll always take the time out to hear you explain it in your style. It’s always worth the watch. I was locked just from having the nostalgia moment with the intro music
Keep walking in your path, bro. This truly is your calling. Numerous blessings
Now here is something that Fabian of Gamerthumb TV should take a look at.
Every now and then I have to search for new timeline videos that are made, and this is why. Thank you sooo much for a nice long video
Just stumbled on your channel with this video and dude I love your production and quality of the video! Also your humor and in depth content is legendary! Consider me a fan!
Great video man loved it start to finish fr
Thanks so much man
I just finished watching the whole thing. Thank you so much for putting this together. I learned so much.
This video was amazing to watch. And i watch EVERY timeline video. You were hilarious and on point ❤. You have a new subscriber here!
I appreciate your hard work and it shows in your content.
I love your content bro it’s amazingly interesting and pulls me in a lot
Thanks bro
Epic. EPIC. Dude, bravo. Love it, keep up the incredible story presentations!
found your channel a year and half ago, when I watched your Jedi Fallen Order video. Thought you were hilarious AND knowledgable - but like an idiot, I didn't subscribe so when I wanted to share your video with my wife, I couldn't find it (I had my history tracking turned off). Anyway after sometime I finally found your channel, subscribed and caught up on your other COMPLETE story videos. These videos are for sure my favorite of yours. I think its really cool how you much you appreciate your audience and tell us as much throughout your video. The pleasure is all ours!
also where was Conscience at in this video?
have you consifered doing a nuzlocke a la Alpharad's videos? I feel like your comedy is on par if not better. would love to see it.
I’m surprised this man conscience isn’t here to start the bullsh like always lol but I always knew how this timeline was nuts through a lot of theory videos and lore dumps. (Game theory and others) I love it and this video was an awesome take on this franchise. Awesome start to 2024 bro. We here for the long run.
Man i missed conshes he brought extra humor to your videos
Love the video. You delivered when you said you'd make interesting and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
HAPPY NEW YEARS 🎉🎊
they’re cursed to repeat these battles over and over for basically all of eternity it’s quite sad
Pretty much
Brilliant work on the video dude! Well done!
Always great content my brother worth watching.. because there are alot different time lines being covered 💥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Thanks fam
Bro, you are so sincere and well researched, I'm subbing
This video is honestly starting to get me interested in the Zelda series, thanks for this awesome video, dude!
Great video. I love the Zelda franchise and I've heard many lore stories but yours surpass them all. I look forward to enjoying more to come.
I've just recently gotten back into the LoZ lore and timeline after like 7 ish years and I've been watching so many timeline videos, but yours truly is THEE video that made me understand not just how this timeline works but how the games actually are played / what the story is, given I've only played a few. Your explanation was easy to follow as well as was very fun, chill, and if I haven't mentioned it enough VERY INFORMATIVE. Preciate you for your time on this one cos WHEW !!
Thank you so much for this kind comment. It's crazy cause making this video was the first time I really dived into the timeline. So glad I could make it it make sense.
Haven't watched in a while, but I didn't expect this. Your content is always great!
10/10 videos, thank you for the great content man 😁😁😁
im so freaking proud of you donte, this is an amazing vid
Thanks fam!!
30:25
Kaepora Gaebora had already appeared to Link as a child.
Rauru was in the Sacred Realm when Link woke up there as an adult.
Thank you very much for your efforts. I truly appreciate your time and dedication.
This was great! Thanks for making it!
this was a fire video man.. keep it going.
I’ve been playing and loving the Zelda games ever since the first game came out on the NES (yes I’m that old).
I discovered your video due to TH-cam’s algorithm noticing the number of Zelda videos I watch. You say you didn’t know much about the series prior to making this video, but you did a fantastic job explaining one of the most confusing and convoluted timelines in video gaming. Loved your video, and I’ll have to check out more of your stuff!
I have watched this all the way through twice and I found it yesterday ❤
Congrats you have a new sub
Bro you’re a legend your videos are hilarious, accurate, and total fan service!!! 💯🤘💯
Never heard of you. This is the first video from you I've seen. This is a REALLY well done vid, and extra props on the length and effort you went through
Happy new year 🎉🎉
Happy new year
Nice video dude keep up the good work
Great content, you earned my sub!
Well made bro, thank u for all the time u took on this
Hyped for this vid !!
Same man. Same
Yo @@TheBlackMastadontewhere's conscious.
New to your channel but watched it and love it especially the One Piece Reference with Zelda was Legendary 😂 Subscribed 🏴☠️
Nice work ethic bro. This video was fantastic. It's easy to tell how much work you have invested in this thing. 🤙🏻
You make amazing videos man
New subsrciber here, really enjoyed this break down of the timeline and stuff, great vid bro
Thanks fam!
Loved this series as a kid and still do. Thank you.
I wish skyward sword came out on a controller
This was a RIDE. Sat through the whole thing in two parts and you really put everything together well
this video is amazing, can’t believe it doesn’t already have more views. instant sub
Thanks fam!!
Miyamato is not the only one to make bangers dude, you do too !
Good job 😊
Thank you, fam!
I love the "Force" theory, mostly because Star Wars has it's own force based magic users and Gods, plus a connection between Star Wars and The Legend of Zelda would be awesome.
Pretty solid video. A ton of these get millions of views, so keep up the hard work!
1:04:27 I remember hearing a theory from Game Theory that the first Hyrule Warriors brought all 3 timelines back together into the original timeline again before the Legends of Zelda Breath of the Wild.
Love your videos man! Keep it up! 😊
Videos are amazing really jam pack with a ton of lore the love to do something like this and the time to research all of this is quit impressive cant wait to see the videos you make in 2024
As someone who is old enough to have been around for the beginning of the entire Zelda "universe", this is definitely a well put together and organized video. Making sense of the entire world is tough as it is. Nice to know that the younger generation will still find something interesting and worth while to work on a video like this. And yes. I made it to the end. I love these kind of videos and Zelda is one of my favorites as well. Double whammy. Thank you for the effort!
Great vid, first of yours I have seen. looking forward to looking at your other stuff.
Thanks so much fam
Sooner or later, bro gonna do an honest gaming history on either Sonic or Mario.
