Theory Briefing
- A fan theory claiming Tears of the Kingdom "refounded" the Zelda timeline has circulated for three years, and the new Ocarina of Time trailer appears to support it.
- The trailer's details seem to align the remake with TOTK's lore in a way that random coincidence struggles to explain.
- Fans now debate whether this was always the developers' intent or a retcon quietly slipped in through a remake.
- The theory reframes Ocarina of Time not as a standalone origin but as a story deliberately repositioned within a larger, TOTK-anchored timeline.
