Something fans and early theorist would conceptualize as the so called split timeline.  On another occasion he reasserted it, while explaining it to a confused Miyamoto despite the fact that Aonuma had not been on board for a good portion of the series. <ref>[http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?p=233 Gamepro interview with Miyamoto and Aonuma]</ref>

With the release of the Four Sword Adventures, Aonuma stated his intent of trying to bring the stories of the Zelda games together. He went on to state that the Four Swords, and its sequel the Four Sword Adventures was the oldest tale in the timeline. <ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040527112118/http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200405/N04.0517.1915.59084.htm Gameinformer interview with Aonuma]</ref> This lead to some dispute among fans, who question Aonuma's statement as he was not involved in making the stories of those games and with no backup confirmation from Shigeru Miyamoto, the series creator who has previously stated clearly that ''Ocarina of Time'' is the origin story of the series.
