For instance...
US LttP: Clearly says 'past' in the title, manual says 'decedents of Link and Zelda'. But...
JP LttP: titled 'Triforce of the Gods'. Doesn't have the 'before Zelda 1/2' manual references. In 1998 Miyamoto said that it comes after AoL.
LttP: The "Imprisoning/Sealing War": Is it describing the events of OoT or some completely different, and so far not yet shown in any game, event? If it's the latter, this game could go almost anywhere in the timeline, really...
Four Swords/FSA: Do you believe the 'it goes before OoT' quote or not, considering that Aonuma, the guy who said that, wasn't actually in charge of the series yet at the time of the game's release (I think) and didn't work on the games?
FS/FSA: Is FSA a followup to FS, or is it the real story or something while FS is a sidestory?
Oracles: Erm... yeah, nobody's quite sure what to do with these...
Zelda 1/2: Where do these go? The Zelda II backstory: Tale of before the series begins (how all the Zeldas got their name)?
FS/Oracles/MC: Should the Capcom Zelda games count?
Anyway, as I've said before, my belief is that they come up with the game concept first, and try to figure out how to fit it into the timeline sometime later on. It's the only way that would make sense, for us to get such an incredibly messy timeline...
