Legends of Zelda was a section of the The Ocarina of Time: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide that acted as a backstory for Ocarina of Time, and the three previous Zelda games. It predates Hyrule Historia in that it suggested a more 'single timeline' in which Ganon was defeated by Link each time (except for during the Imprisoning War). It claims to be from the Hylian Archives from the castle, long in the future some point after Zelda II. Another oddity is that it debates on if the links in Zelda 1, 2, 3, and OOT are the same person or different individuals (and that scholars continue to debate on the issue). The guide continues from similar described lore in the LTTP guide (The Legend) and Link's Awakening guide (Hyrulean Odyssey), and continued into the Majora's Mask guide as well. Anot

  • Legends of Zelda was a section of the The Ocarina of Time: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide that acted as a backstory for Ocarina of Time, and the three previous Zelda games. It predates Hyrule Historia in that it suggested a more 'single timeline' in which Ganon was defeated by Link each time (except for during the Imprisoning War). It claims to be from the Hylian Archives from the castle, long in the future some point after Zelda II. Another oddity is that it debates on if the links in Zelda 1, 2, 3, and OOT are the same person or different individuals (and that scholars continue to debate on the issue). The guide continues from similar described lore in the LTTP guide (The Legend) and Link's Awakening guide (Hyrulean Odyssey), and continued into the Majora's Mask guide as well. Another issue is that these later sources completely throw out the idea of an eternal sleeping Zelda, and the idea of the tradition of naming all female Princesses after the original Zelda. Instead many of them have the Zelda be the same Zelda from Zelda 1 put under the sleeping curse, and rescued by the same Link from that era (see LTTP Nintendo Player's Guide as well). Hyrule Historia restores the idea of the sleeping Zelda calling her Zelda I (First Generation as she was referred to in the Japanese manual for LOZ, see Eras) but appears to be a princess that came long after even the OOT Zelda (of course long after the pre-Kingdom of Hyrule Zelda in Skyward Sword). Interestingly these sources and Hyrule Historia are written from the conceit of future scholars, historians, story tellers, and myth makers of Hyrule having written down theories of how, when or where and which order take place, and that these scholars seem to exist in a single future point in Hyrule's time, but somehow aware of other timelines (or at least the concept of other timelines, is just another theory as they currently understand it), and they have added their own theory of the history to the Hyrule's archives. How past Hyrule archivers were aware of multiple timelines (assuming modern Hyrulian scholars are right) is still a mystery (though even in Breath of the Wild set 10,000 years in the future individuals seem to be aware of legends from all three timelines).
