Nintendo Releases the Official Zelda Timeline to Stop all the Debating of the Timeline

Kotaku got their hands on the newest art book for the Legend of Zelda and to everyone's surprise, it contained a Japanese layout of the series ever-so confusing timeline. The book has been out now for sometime, giving plenty of time for proofreads and translations. And now, finally, Nintendo can end all of the internet debates on exactly how the timeline of Zelda is really played out.
And while there are some doubters out there about the entire timeline, it should be noted that the book's "supervising editor [...]

When you pre-order or purchase the special edition of games like Gears of War or Call of Duty, usually you get some extra content like in-game unlocks or costumes and/or you get some real life content like a RC camera car (which you got from you pre-ordered the specialized edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops).

Game Art by Ryan Shiu
Ryan Shiu, a talented illustrator, animator and graphic designer, developed Pikasm in 2009. Shiu is one of the few artists who can bring an original touch to some of our favorite and classic video games and animated characters. Many artists attempt to capture some of the most epic moments from The Legend of Zelda but none come close to the visual creativity that Shiu is able to produce. Unfortunately Shiu has not updated his website since its birth, but much of the art work he has produced continues to be making its way across the world [...]
