ZELDAS TIMELINE
Zelda’s Timeline: a Hylian History of Evolution is my thesis exploration. A book dedicated to one aspect of a video game series I hold close to my heart. All written content and chapter illustrations are original, with supplementary art and images from the now gaming legendary franchise.
My Thesis project was not only a chance to flex my creative muscle, but also to info dump about one of my favorite subjects, gaming mythology and lore. This book chronicles the history of the Zelda series and how the tales of the games evolved into a complete storyline.
I treated this book like a modern manual. For a series as old as Zelda, it only seemed right to reference the old format of the “pack in” game manual for the project. After all, the myth of the Zelda Timeline was born within said manuals, in a time before the games could tell the story themselves.
