4 Ways Breath of the Wild Could Fit Into the Zelda Timeline

A storied past.

The Hero Is Triumphant (Child)

This is perhaps the least likely of any of the theories so far, however, there are a few interesting nods that could place Breath of the Wild sometime after Twilight Princess. First off, the magic from the new trailer, what we can only assume is Calamity Ganon, has a slight resemblance to the Twilight powers that Zant utilized. Given most of the dark creatures were summoned directly from magic, much like how the Boblin’s appear in the new trailer, this could explain how Ganon’s forces have spread out across the land in Breath of the Wild.

A closer Twilight Princess connection is that you can summon “Wolf Link” in Breath of the Wild via his corresponding amiibo. While this is a pretty awesome addition (because who doesn’t want a pet wolf?) this seems more like a nod rather than concrete evidence these words are connected. One of the biggest issues is that the tone, design, and look of Breath of the Wild doesn’t fit into that dark quality of the games that The Hero is Triumphant (Child) encapsulates. These titles have always been about life and death to a degree, themes that seem to be absent from Breath of the Wild’s focus on an ancient technology.
