Why is the Zelda Timeline so complicated?

The series was never created with a timeline in mind. With the publishing of Skyward Sword and the Hyrule Historia, Nintendo decided to create a time line to put the theories at rest.

All you have to do is make Link pull out the sword from its pedestal; the thing is, doing so will drain your hearts, and you'll require at least 13 full red hearts to be able to pull it out. For this reason, there's no denying a minimum of 13 hearts is pretty much mandatory.

One familiar character is missing from Majora's Mask, however. As you might have gleaned from this article's title, I mean Ganon.

How old is Link in Breath of the Wild?

The game seems to confirm that 17 is the age of adulthood in Hyrule, since the Spring of Wisdom is forbidden to any under the age. Nintendo seems to want Link at that sweet spot of young and grown-up and cool, so they've settled on 17.
