✨The Complete Wisdomverse Zelda Timeline✨

It’s finally done!!! (for now)

NOTE: You do not need to read this whole thing to follow the Wisdomverse comics! This timeline is just here for folks who like deep lore, or those who want to try solving plot mysteries before the characters do. Like all #lin thinks posts, it’s entirely optional!

This timeline is largely based on canon, with a lot of Wisdomverse theories added on top to thread various aspects of the games together. There are also a few small WV secrets here for folks to find (if you don’t already know them)! No major spoilers though— for either WV or the Zelda games themselves. I wouldn’t want to ruin the plot for y’all :)

This took me far too long to plan, draw, write, and diagram out. Totally worth it.

Please feel free to let me know in the comments if anything is confusing! I would love to answer questions or fix any errors.

Hope you enjoy!

Some Additional Thoughts

The Timeline

NOTE x2: You do not have to read this whole timeline to enjoy WV content!!! It’s just here for folks who want detailed lore, or want to try solving plot mysteries :). Completely optional, like all #lin thinks posts!

Notes:

As stated in the main post, there are a few fun little Wisdomverse secrets in the timeline. Feel free to take a look around!

I’ve scrubbed the timeline of major WV spoilers, though. This means parts of it may change in the future as WV characters learn things (or as Nintendo adds things; I can’t control them, but I’ll usually try my best to keep adding new content in interesting ways 😆)

This timeline is compatible with the core characterizations of the nine Links of Linked Universe!

It does, however, contain a lot of theories that are canon to WV, but no longer canon to LU— such as Spirit and Phantom as separate characters from Wind and Tetra, Shadow from FSA, the cast traveling to Hyrule Warriors, and many more.

It’s worth restating that I absolutely don’t mind people using my Zelda and Link designs, as well as this timeline, in their own works! Just tag #wisdomverse so I can see it too :).

I also certainly don’t mind folks using my designs, tagging #wisdomverse, and taking their own spin on the timeline! The timeline is a suggestion, not a rulebook. Feel free to use it; feel free to use your own. I’m not here to gatekeep the fandom!

Three and a half years ago, I made the much less detailed timeline guide for LU here, and I’ll echo the same sentiment I said back then— I hope this helps at least a few people create more cool Zelda fics and fanart.

Always love to see more LoZ content out in the world :)
