Where in the timeline should the next Zelda take place?

A Zelda game for the Wii U is inevitable. Where in the timeline should it take place? I say after Zelda II: the Adventure of Link

I've noted some spots in the timeline where one could fit other games in another thread.

A game inbetween Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

I'm fine with anything as long as it's after Skyward Sword.

A game inbetween Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

How would that work?

It wouldn't.

 

[Super Mario the Hedgehog]

I want it between the Sky Era and the Era of Chaos, with the plot showing the profession of Hyrule since its "new" discovery and how the races were divided at first, but became united which led to the forming of Hyrule in later years.

id love for the "hero is defeated" timeline to be expanded on, for example, another hero of time/a time traveling link that goes back to the ocarina of time era and messes things up so that the oot link dies.

its a stupid idea tbh but i just want the defeated hero timeline to not be a "what if" that nintendo threw out there for the sake of making sense of the games and to disregard the old zelda games. the adult and young link seperate timelines make perfect sense, the hero is defeated one just seems like an excuse due to nintendos poor plot planning

After Super Mario Bros. 3 (that would really shake things up).

no no NO

the continuity would BE MESSED UP. after mario saves the princess, the plot leads RIGHT IN to super mario world. after super mario galaxy 2 just makes more perfect sense quit screwing things up for everyone!!!

 

[Mario4Ever]

No. It's one of life's great pleasures on the Internet.

 

[Magikrazy]

One before Spirit Tracks would be nice, so it shows how Link and Tetra found New Hyrule.

That was my suggestion a LONG LONG time ago

You are a complete fool. Clearly, a Zelda game where Link sacrifices himself to allow the Mario Bros. and Peach to escape on a balloon to Dinosaur World would not only be terrible, but also make perfect sense.

I was actually thinking post-TP would be interesting. It would be the closest 'typical fantasy' with Ganondorf being defeated already and all.

After Zelda II.
