During the development of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Aonuma confirmed that a master timeline document did exist, and that only he, Miyamoto, and the director of a particular ''Zelda'' game have access to it. He stated that ''Skyward Sword'' took place before ''Ocarina of Time,'' but stopped short of calling it the first game in the series. A statement like that would limit the timeline placement of future games, he stated.<ref>{{cite person|quote=Yes there is a master timeline but its confidential document! The only people to have access to that document are myself, Mr. Miyamoto and the director of the title. We cant share it with anyone else!
