Uh, what? I don't think I'm a Zelda fan because I played a game once and liked it. I've discussed the story lines and time lines with friends countless and countless times. It took no more than 5 minutes to type that all out.
And yeah, okay. Each game is completely different from eachother. That means Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask have absolutely no relation. The Legend of Zelda nd Link's Adventure have no relation whatsoever.
Hell, that Temple of Time you see in Twilight Princess? Even though it LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE IN OCARINA OF TIME, but is all crumbled and abandoned after hundreds of years, it's not the same thing.
The sacred forest in A Link to the past? lolno... not the same one in Twilight Princess. The fact that they both house the Master Sword is a major coincidence.
Even the development teams for the Legend of Zelda have mentioned each game is a part of a bigger story. That's why each one is so different. That's why WE'RE GETTING A PREQUEL TO THE SERIES CALLED SKYWARD SWORD, which entails how the Master Sword was created and whatnot.
It is all well and good man, but it does not make the Zelda series some kind of epic genius treasure mound of story. It is very straight forward and simple, and that is one of its charms. To say it is devoided of story is dumb, but to say it has a rich story is equally dumb. The backstory tells us what, why and how in a mood creating fashion, but there are almost zero character development or ways to get deeper into what drives them.
