Man, I just want Nintendo to give us answers idk why there are peeps who get peeved at fans talking about the timeline either. We do it because it’s fun and interesting and if gives each game its own piece/place in something grand and exciting. Having the games just be a standalone story that fits into nothing would be less impactful imo.
Yeah, I don't care much about the timeline in the sense of the chronological order of things, but I think the sense of history that accompanies the different games being connected is definitely a plus. As much as I like Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom seems great too, "everything not in these two games has nothing to do with this version of Hyrule" seems more reductive than beneficial. Seeing different versions of Hyrule over time enhances the setting to me.
I totally get both of these points of view, especially as a Timeline nerd myself. But I'm at the point where it's clear they want to take the story of the series in a new direction entirely, and wish they would just pull the plug and actually commit to the new timeline altogethee. As a Transformers fan who has seen a million reboots, I've learned over time it does nothing to diminish the old stories.
But yeah, the most frustrating thing of all is Nintendo's unwillingness to answer.
