Yeah, obviously, but there are also some games that obviously follow-up with the same Link, like the Link in LoZ and AoL, the Link in ALTTP and LA, and the Link in OoT and MM. I'm still not sure if I accept Chaltab's reasoning (no offense). I would almost be tempted to believe that the Oracle games feature their own separate Link, although he seems to be somewhat experienced with adventuring by this point. But, if it is a different Link, I'm just curious to know if it fits anywhere with the timeline set for the rest of the series, or if it's not supposed to be thought about.

And, sorry, Chaltab, maybe he didn't know Zelda already. It's been five and a half years since I've played them (I need to play them again), so I forgot. But I have one more question for you. I've never played Minish Cap before, so what puts it as the very first Zelda chronologically? I'm just curious.

EDIT (to C3PX): Actually, the ALTTP and LA Link and Zelda were usually accepted to be predecessors to the original games, not a sequel. And, in turn, Ocarina of Time was considered a prequel to ALTTP. Also, Link's uncle isn't dead! They have this strange occurrence at the end of the game where everybody who died came back to life mysteriously. In fact, there's a screen in the ending of Link and his uncle standing in front of their house, sheating their swords, with the caption reading, "Your Uncle Recovers." This also occurs with the priest at Sanctuary and the King of Hyrule. I think it's a bit silly to have everyone come back to life, but what are you going to do?
