Where in the Zelda timeline does Skyward Sword fit?

Question

I thought I read somewhere that Skyward Sword was to be the first Zelda game in the timeline, but now I can't find that source.

Is there any indication where Skyward Sword fits in the timeline?

Answer

Seeing as the game involves the creation of the Master Sword, you can assume that it must come before any games that include said sword (or are clear sequels to such games). So, the only games that could possibly come before it are:

  • The Legend of Zelda (assuming that Magical Sword is not the Master Sword, as a theory goes)
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (same as above)
  • Four Swords Adventures
  • The Minish Cap

So, Skyward Sword must come before any of the other games, while it may or may not precede the ones in the above list.
