Sure, they've thought about the timeline in a vague sense, at least for main-series titles though probably not really for the spinoffs. It's never been with the kind of specificity you see in the timeline, though, and that really shows whenever you look at a Zelda timeline. Maybe they should just have stuck with the original not even really trying to really connect things coherently... though if they do I would rather that they would more consistently connect in plausible ways. The Link's age problem in Oracles is an example of something they didn't think through enough.
