Apparently, the poster from Nintendo also tells exactly how the new titles are going to be connected with each other.
The gaming mogul introduced what appears to be a three-way split timeline. As further detailed over at BitBag.com, a path branches out from "Ocarina of Time." If the hero is defeated, then the games, "A Link to the Past," "Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages," and "Link's Awakening" follow through.
Two new titles "Tri-Force Heroes" and "A Link Between Worlds" then appear after the aforementioned titles. After the new titles, the timeline stops with "The Legend of Zelda" and "Zelda II."
Meanwhile, a more specific spoiler from MoviePilot.com pointed out a missed detail teased during the November 2015 Nintendo Direct event.
The rather short snippet, which is 13 seconds long, revealed an interesting aspect which a lot of viewers may have missed. The item that MP particularly speaks of is the glowing Sheika eye design in a book that Link carries.
According to the website, the emblem is the symbol of the Sheikah (Shadow Folk) who served as guardians of the Hylian Royal Family. The said organization is featured in lots of Zelda games. Its presence in the new game suggests that they may be more involved in the story in some capacity, or perhaps the whole narrative will revolve around it.
Stay tuned for more updates.
