*The official Japanese website contains the above changes and makes two more.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/zelda/history/index.html</ref> First, the placement of ''Link's Awakening'' and ''Oracle of Seasons/Ages'' was swapped. The change was presumably made in an effort to resolve a continuity error in which Zelda appears to meet Link for the first time, which would imply that they are different characters from ''A Link to the Past''; however, there is now no explanation as to why Link is able to walk up to the Triforce in Hyrule Castle as an established hero at the beginning of the ''Oracle'' games, although the website does not directly state that it is a separate Link and Zelda. Second, ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'' is listed at the end of each branch of the timeline, but it not explicitly connected to any of them. The game itself contains certain elements previously exclusive to each branch of the timeline. The official English website restates the former but not the latter.<ref>http://zelda.com/about/</ref> | *The official Japanese website contains the above changes and makes two more.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/zelda/history/index.html</ref> First, the placement of ''Link's Awakening'' and ''Oracle of Seasons'' / ''Oracle of Ages'' was swapped.
