The Book of Mudora

explanation of chapters

Contents:

The stories from the past retold. They add a lot of depth to the series if you read them all, I hope you enjoy.

These are not in order by release date. It's more like the order I think they should be in. That way, when you read them, they'll make a little more sense... If you don't like it, to bad. Mwahahahaha.

The order is:

  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
  • The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Also, one thing I have discovered form re-reading them, the games do have a definite order. I have heard it said that Link's Awakening could come anywhere in the series, but according to the official players guide, it DOES come after A Link to the Past. That makes sense because the wizard Agahnim is one of the nightmares he has to fight. It would only make sense that, then, this was an enemy that this Link had known.

In A Link to the Past Hyrule was still in it's glory, then, centuries later it had decayed into the Hyrule of The Legend of Zelda. Then, a few years later, towns sprung up and it was the world of Adventures of Link. The geography changes rather drastically in a few short years... but that's not story so I'll just ignore that for now.

I think all that makes sense and it's another reason I wanted to provide all the official stories on this page. To clear up the confusion. Maybe it won't do that, I haven't read many other peoples theories on the subject, but I think it makes sense. Even if you don't believe this, it's just really how I've always believed it should be. So, please, just for me, try not to let it bother you. This is just a little fan site and that's just my little opinion. ^_^
