It always staggers me when I remember that for roughly sixty million years during the Carboniferous Period, there were trees but no microorganisms capable of decomposing them.
Just sixty million years of branches falling off and trees falling down and... just sitting there on the ground, not rotting at all.
The people who actually make these games have said that the timeline in Hyrule Historia is little no more than elevated fanfiction, because they don't follow it when making their games. It's all retcon and forced connections.
People who want them to have some shared continuity as if they're a real history might as well make a timeline for Mario too. It's silly, and misses the point
Headline is misleading. There is no canon timeline and never has been, regardless of what officially-licensed book it was published in.
The game designers have said many times that they don't take any sort of timeline into account when designing a new Zelda game. They nail down the mechanics, and the story comes next, and if it happens to match up thematically in relation to another game, that's just a bonus.
I look forward to seeing the directors Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia at the Oscars in ten years or so. Serious Michel Gondry and Daniels vibes from this one.
Honestly, Brave New World needs a post credit scene where Nick Fury wakes up startled, and it's Maria Hill knocking on the door.
"I just had the weirdest goddamn dream with you in it," Fury says. Hill replies, "You know, sir, Dr. Strange says that dreams are windows into other realities." "Dammit I hate this multiverse shit. Get Colonel Rhodes and Talos on the phone."
Yo, listen up here's a story
About a little guy
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him inside and outside
