    I mean there are some games that are direct sequels, but you’re right in that they’re mostly blocked into their own continuities.

    They did try to make the case that all Zelda games were part of a shared timeline (with divergences) in the Hyrule Historia, but it was just a tacked-on structure to satisfy the fans. And they basically threw that away with Breath of the Wild.

      Oh yeah, I meant in general, not counting the direct sequels.

      I agree about the timeline, this is just to make fans happy. They make whatever game they want to make and then someone later decides where to put it in this chart.

      But even if you do believe in the timeline, there are still no reboots, since it’s all in a shared timeline (excluding BoTW and TotK, but we can call them a spin-off for now) 😀
