The Legend of Zelda

Links to Zelda theory posts and threads I have found elsewhere (Reddit, forums, and similar), or theories I have created myself.

• Sealing Divergence Timeline ↗

  By ohyoso_tabun

  Timeline theory about BotW/TotK/AoI. Original author and post are Japanese;

• Zelda Timeline: The Dreamer ↗

  By DragmireXI

  Timeline theory created by myself and inspired by my experiences with the Remedyverse games.

• Lorule's Alternate Origin and Timeline ↗

  By DragmireXI

  Theory about Lorule having a similar but different origin to Hyrule and these differences, plus the events of ALBW, leading to the creation of Demise.

• The True Lineage of the Wind Tribe and Gerudo ↗

  By DragmireXI

  This is an older theory regarding the origins of Groose and his relationship to both the Wind Tribe and the Gerudo. The connections to the Zonai are outdated and should be ignored, but I think the rest is still valid.

Google Drive folders with texture image references from selected games. Links open in a new tab. None of these folders I can vouch are complete and all have textures dumped from my own personal play sessions. The vast majority of textures should be present, but some may be missing.

Feel free to use these texture dumps for your own projects. I own none of the assets so I do not need credit.

• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Textures dumped using Cemu. I played the entire game so this is likely complete.

Sites with useful assets, reference material, or lore I want to remember. Each entry opens in a new tab; I do not run these sites.

• The Cutting Room Floor — Zelda series ↗

  Category hub on a community wiki for unused and changed content, prototypes, regional differences, and other development-focused notes across many Zelda games.

• noclip.website ↗

  noclip.website is an open source application for viewing 3D models from a selection of video games. Many Zelda games are present and allow you to view things you normally can't see.
