A guy made a video on YouTube doing what I remember GameTrailers did quite a while ago, explaining the Zelda timeline. This guy did a complete job imo, very well done, and should be watched. However, he has received a response from Nintendo about this timeline saying.. there is no timeline. I've included the original video and the response in the quote.
During Satoru Iwata's keyboard at the 2009 Game Developer's Conference today, Nintendo has announced a new title for the Nintendo DS: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. The game will feature Link on a railroad-building adventure, where he has the ability to create and control enemies to fend off other enemies. It is reportedly an extension of Phantom Hourglass's boat system.
You can view the rest of the happenings during Iwata's keynote here. Pictures of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tra...
"The times may change, but the legend remains: A dark wizard, a princess in peril, and an emerald-clad boy as the kingdom's only hope. Like all great fables of times long past, the story of Link has changed much over the years, retold in a new way for each coming generation, but timeless nonetheless. It's a legacy few other franchises can equal, and these 22 years have elevated Link to stand among the upper echelon of video game royalty.
That kind of legacy means walking a delicate line; co..."
The Legend of Zelda series has often been regarded as being one of the most epic and groundbreaking series of all time. The original Legend of Zelda for the NES introduced us to the dungeon-crawling formula, while later games for the SNES and N64 refined the gameplay, controls, and graphics. The N64 entry, Ocarina of Time, is often debated as being the greatest game of all time. (it holds an average review score of 99% on Media Critic)

Kotaku.com recently held a "Reader's Choice Awards" in which regulars of the site could vote for their favorite game of 2007 from each console.
And while not everyone was happy with how the awards were conducted, the results were still tallied and winners were still announced.
Read below to find out who won. You might be pleasantly surprised (but then again, if you've been keeping track of the popular games of 2007, you probably won't be).
Nintendo is arranging some form of Zapper demo using a Zelda mini-game called Zelda Crossbow Training. Could this be the Zelda that was said to be in the works, and is this one game or is it going to be a mini-game collection? Believed to use the Twilight Princess engine, the demo was shown off to GameStop managers in Las Vegas today.

"Four years ago, Eiji Aonuma took on one of the most difficult jobs in the game industry: Shigeru Miyamoto's. He was made producer of the Legend of Zelda series, taking the reins of one of the world's most popular and enduring game franchises.
Having just finished the wonderful Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS, Aonuma is enthused about the future of the Zelda series, and says that his teams will create similarly re-envisioned Zelda experiences on both Wii and DS.

"I'll admit it, I'm not very good at Japanese, but there's one piece of news that I was able to dig out of the Phantom Hourglass feature in the latest issue of Famitsu... Phantom Hourglass will allow players to voice chat with each other!
So I've been only trying to learn Japanese on my own, so it takes a long time for me to translate anything decently. But from the little I know, I was able to piecemeal this together from the main text of the article. Now let's just hope I didn't screw any..."
