Yeah, I'm with most people here. I was initially excited about an official timeline, but now that we have one, I regret even asking about it.
Now with every new Zelda game that comes out, I hear people asking "where does it fit in the timeline?" Honestly, I really don't care anymore. So long as Nintendo makes a good game, I'm fine with it.
@Noqanky:
Frankly, my biggest bother is how Minish Cap was the origin story of the hat, but … then in Skyward Sword that was supposed to be before it (and was made to be at the very beginning!) they just go fuck it and give him the hat anyway.

Oh, this made me so angry. Could Nintendo really not bother to expect people not to freak out if Link didn't have his hat for one game? Honestly, with all the creativity that went into Skyward Sword, they couldn't think of anything else? Again, if there wasn't a timeline, I wouldn't care, but now that Nintendo has gone out of its way to make an official timeline, it just shows that they're lazy.
