With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom now having an official timeline placement, it is clear that the members of one race in the game have a depressing fate awaiting them. As complex as Zelda’s timeline can be, the relatively stand-alone nature of most games means that they can be played independently of each other, Echoes of Wisdom included. However, taking the events of other games into account can still give extra context to the events of each game, as well as show how well Hyrule fares in the long run after being saved.
