"The only people to have acces to that document are myself, Mr. Miyamoto and the director of the title. We can't share it with anyone else! I have already talked to Mr. Miyamoto about this so I am comfortable releasing this information--this title [Skyward Sword] takes place before Ocarina of Time. If I said that a certain title was 'the first Zelda game', then that means we cant ever make a title that takes place before that! So for us to be able to add titles to the series, we have to have a way of putting the titles before or after each other."|book=Official Nintendo Magazine|publisher=Future Publishing|page=51}}</ref><ref>[http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/onm-interviews-eiji-aonuma-talks-skyward-sword-and-more/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ZeldaUniverse+%28Zelda+Universe%29 OMN Interviews Eij Aonuma, Talks Skyward Sword and More]</ref>
