Link, Ganondorf, Zelda, Demise, Hylia, Rauru, Zonai Swirls, Tulin, Riju, Sidon, and Yunobo... It's enough to make a gamer's head spin. Are you excited about Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch, but confused by the storyline presented in the trailers?

Fear not, because I've got you covered! In this video, I've re-edited the trailers for the game in chronological order, so that you can finally make sense of the epic story that awaits you. It's like solving a puzzle, and I'm sharing my solution with you!

This interpretation is thanks in part to Limcube's incredible contributions to the theories and lore surrounding Zelda being rescued by being stuck in the past.

When it came to the open world portions, I deferred to Link's wardrobe as a rule of thumb. His ancient outfit is all before his first visit to the surface -- even though the shot of him opening the dragon head double doors could also work earlier on. I tried to place the most remote locations near the end, in a sequence where he is collecting champions to fight alongside him. Here's a rough breakdown of the sequence:

0:00 - 0:16: The Ancient Legend as told in the Carvings
0:16 - 0:25: The Master Sword
0:25 - 1:10: Zelda and Link discover Ganondorf under Hyrule
1:10 - 2:03: The Upheaval, Zelda's Fall, Ganondorf's Return to Power
2:03 - 2:34: Hyrule Under Ganondorf's Rule
2:34 - 3:00: Zelda in the Distant Past (or Another Timeline)
3:00 - 3:54: Link Recovers on the Sky Islands, Gains New Abilities
3:54 - 4:14: Descending to the Surface, Exploring Hyrule
4:15 - 5:04: Return to the Sky, Zonai Puzzles
5:04 - 5:30: Fighting Monsters, Building Vehicles
5:30 - 6:09: Dungeons, Caves, Collecting Champions, Defending Hyrule
6:09 - 6:19: Storming the Castle
