Although I've seen the GT video of their interpretation of the timeline and I can say I definitely think its highly believable, I'd like to see a clear explanation as to why Link to the Past has been considered in official Nintendo guidebooks, manuals, and whatnot as the first in the series. But this gets completely disregarded in most theories.. It was almost always considered to be before LoZ, LoZII, and even OoT (again, this is stated in the OoT strategy guide in the retrospect section). This would completely offset a lot of the timeline theories out there, as they place LttP towards the end.

Oh, as for Mario timeline talk ... MUSHROOMS.

Nowhere have i ever read that LttP was meant to be based before OoT. Ocarina was always theorised but not 100% officially announced to be the 1st in the series. Events in the Prologue to LttP seemed to directly describe the events in OoT. People just got confused over bad translation back in '91...or so I have always believed.

I don't like the fact Nintendo neglect to create some continuity with their games. Mario very much IMO needs a history line established. Paper Mario has proven that Mario's universe is incredibly vibrant with some crazy diverse characters. What they really need to do is have each game standalone but have references that connect them together. Its all very well being a young kid and not caring about the bigger picture but just because I'm older doesn't mean I am going to stop playing Mario games....I just want something slightly richer in story with the fat plumber.

I was never a big fan of YI to begin with. It always fealt somewhat sluggish to me after being able to complete Mario World and SMB levels incredibly fast - in contrast YI at its slowest was sooo slow. And I agree about the ground looking like cheese in YI2. Its seems to have borrowed some of its graphical style from Super Princess Peach, a style that I hated.

You did.
By arguing.

Also, yeah, I recently did hear that Miyamoto said that LoZ and AoL come before Link to the Past. Considering that logically, that does not follow, it's just... Augh... And I would really not like to think about it. So let's not talk about it, okay?
