I, Introduction and Official Timeline

Well that's all folks!

On December 21, 2011 Nintendo released a book containing the official timeline of the Zelda series. Decades of speculation came to an abrupt end as an official stance on the matter was at long last taken. While this timeline has some severe fallacies, I'm not going to make a stand, I'm hanging my theorizer's hat and posting the timeline here as it is.
Or am I? Well not quite. According to this official timeline, the BS Zelda games would be non-canon spin offs devoid of any significance to the series continuity. That's not gonna fly here on the BS Zelda Homepage, at least not for Ancient Stone Tablets (which clearly isn't a mere what if, having its own plot connected to ALttP and LA).
So here's what I'm going to do: I'm posting the official timeline as said, but below it I'm going to provide the stories of the two BS Zelda games and explain where they would fit within this timeline.
For anyone who might care, below will also be a link to my old storyline section which will remain archived (I'm not throwing it away).

WARNING: Here can be found detailed information on the stories of the BS Zelda games; if you plan on experiencing one of these fantastic games in the future and don't want to spoil its story do not read the relative page!



So there's the official timeline. Where do the BS Zelda games fall in?

II, The Stories of the BS Zelda games fit within the Timeline

A, BS Zelda

Placing the original BS Zelda is actually really simple as it is, in fact, a what if scenario based on the first Zelda game for the NES (near the end of the branch labeled "Hyrule's Decline & The Last Hero"). The premise is, specifically, "What if, instead of Impa finding Link, a hero came from another dimension (possibly ours) to save Hyrule?"

Now according to Hyrule Historia, this what if scenario is not canon and of course it can't happen within the same timeline as the first Zelda game (since they both tell the same story, albeit with a different spin on it).
But if we wanted to fit the game within the established canon, we could easily make it so by supposing that the timeline splits again before the first NES game, with the former happening on one branch and BS Zelda occurring in the other.
Such a split could be caused by something occurring during Oracle of Ages since time gets rewritten several times in that game (it really isn't important what specifically causes each branch to occur), so that in one timeline Impa is able to find Link and he goes on to reunite the Triforce defeat Ganon and save Zelda, while in the other Link is not able to do so and another hero is guided to Hyrule from another world by the stars (one may wonder what became of Link in this timeline. There is of course no definitive answer, maybe Impa never found him, maybe he died or perhaps he wasn't born at all).

So then, the best way to illustrate this story (which, is the same for both "Maps", of course) is probably side by side with the story of the original NES game, starting with the part they have in common and then telling the story of BS Zelda on the left and that of the original NES game on the right. Without further ado then:

IV, Archived Storyline Section and Other Theories

A, The Archived Storyline Section

Finally, as promised, here is a link to the archived storyline section. Be aware that contained therein are facts mixed up with my personal theories. If you only want official information, then only refer to the timeline from Hyrule Historia and the translation of the details provided concerning each game.
But if you're curious to see what I made of the timeline by studying the games from the release of ALttP up to that of Phantom Hourglass then, by all means, go on ahead.
