Nintendo shares Echoes of Wisdom placement on Zelda timeline
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom now has an official placement within the series’ timeline, per an update from Nintendo.
The franchise’s portal website was just updated today. According to the newest addition, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom takes place after Tri Force Heroes. The original Zelda, Zelda II, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom then follow.
We should also clarify that Echoes of Wisdom falls in the branch of the Zelda timeline in which “the hero is defeated” from Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The other branch is “the hero is triumphant” – which then has the “child era” with Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and Four Swords Adventures or “adult era” featuring The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks in that order. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are always at the end of the timeline no matter which route you’re looking at.
Something else you might be interested to read about is the developers of Echoes of Wisdom talking about using Prime Energy for the story. We translated those comments here.
