 Vanderpump Rules boss Alex Baskin set social media on fire when he teased the third and final round of the Bravo reunion.



Like a round of phone, his statements about new disclosures that are set to be uncovered transformed into watchers expecting a "sensation" new snippet of data, something that the cast obviously has barely any familiarity with that is so large, they ought to stand by to see it prior to deciding whether they even need to return for the generally recharged eleventh time of the super well known reality series.


"There are disclosures and advancements that left even our minds whirling," says the chief maker, who has been with the show for every one of the 10 seasons, of what he alludes to as the Section 3 post-get-together contort. "We wind during the time of [filming the reunion] and afterward a couple of days after the fact, there's one more turn of events. It isn't something the gathering saw at that point. So I believe they must answer it when they see it."


Baskin affirms that the "wind" to be sure applies to Scandoval, the term utilized for the news breaking that castmates Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss had a months-in length illicit relationship. The Bravo series broadly caught the aftermath, especially for Sandoval's accomplice of nine years and Leviss' companion, star Ariana Madix, since the news broke after the season wrapped shooting.


The primary open door the cast needed to stand up to Sandoval and Leviss was at the get-together, which was recorded in Spring. Underneath, Baskin goes in the background of the gathering that has charmed the nation and affirms that watchers will to be sure be stunned alongside the cast, who have not yet seen Section 3, come Wednesday night: "The timetable develops."


Section 3 of the Vanderpump Rules Gathering is the part that spotlights on Raquel Leviss. What could we at any point hope to learn?


You can hope to gain some useful knowledge. What made this get-together unique in relation to some other was that we, as a creation, had no clue about the thing planned to occur. Generally we have some sense. There's incredible expectation for Raquel to come out [in Part 3]. I will say that anything anybody considers what she did this previous season, it was valiant of her to recognize the cold hard reality, realizing everybody is at full bore.


What's more, there is, as we've been prodding, a turn toward the finish of the get-together. So I believe it's the ideal capper to a season dissimilar to some other. We wind during the time of [filming the reunion] and afterward a couple of days after the fact, there's one more turn of events. I'll simply say this isn't a typical getting-the-gather to-recap show or, for this situation, just Raquel expressing her genuine thoughts of statements of regret to Ariana. There are disclosures and advancements that left even our minds whirling.


I will come back on that in a moment. To begin with, was there ever a second where it seemed as though Raquel probably won't take an interest?


We didn't be aware until likely about seven days before that she was really going to do the get-together, and afterward we actually had alternate courses of action on the off chance that. The last episode, the one we made ready once the entire Scandoval circumstance broke out, she recorded with Tom [Sandoval]. After they shot together,


 I think there was genuine worry on her part about going ahead. She wasn't addressing us by then; we were conversing with her agents. Be that as it may, there was a moment wherein we didn't have contact, so we didn't know regardless of whether she would show to the gathering.


And afterward about seven days prior, we got firm affirmations she would be there. However, we actually didn't have the foggiest idea. We were ready for all possible possibilities. We shot the one-on-one meetings with the administrators associated with the circumstance: Tom and Ariana and Raquel.


We shot Tom's and Ariana's meetings the prior night, and we held recording Raquel's for the day of the get-together, on the off chance that there was any worry that Raquel could shoot the one-on-one and afterward not show up at the gathering. However, by that point, she was hell bent on going to the gathering and managing what she expected to; looking at Ariana without flinching and standing up and taking responsibility for what she had done.


What's more, clearing a few things up?

Some. There were a few inquiries that waited. There was likewise a ton of feeling. One reason we did the one-on-ones was on the grounds that we knew the actual gathering would be so vigorously charged, that we thought having the plunk down interviews with Andy [Cohen] could inspire different data and have an alternate tone. There is the get-together itself, and afterward the coda in which more is uncovered.


Was there anything left on the cutting room floor from the one-on-ones that you wish you got in, or that will be remembered for the drawn out Peacock variants?


Not a ton. We needed to adjust the one-on-ones with the actual gathering, thus we needed to truly string the needle of maintaining that them should yield data all alone, yet additionally not having any desire to acquire the get-together. Some data covered; honestly, it's more fascinating to see the gathering answer the data. In any case, there additionally could have been a few errors in the one-on-one contrasted with the gathering. So we play those out. And afterward there's the last beat that I continue to prod, which uncovers considerably more.


You were likewise managing a brief controlling request that Raquel documented against Scheana Shay, which she dropped subsequent to shooting. In the event that you might have had them in front of an audience together, is there anything you wished might have played out in an unexpected way, or would you say you are happy with what you got?


Both. The way that it played out was truly emotional; we figured out how to build up to 100 yards. We generally cover reality and the truth was there was a limiting request between those two individuals. I truly do want to have gotten them together in light of the fact that they had a ton to share with one another. Raquel and Scheana had what the two of them believed was a genuine fellowship; there was a power in sentiments there.


So I want to have worked through their issues. Then, at that point, the day of, Raquel needed to drop the controlling request, so there was fundamental desk work that was given to Andy that Andy then, at that point, introduced to Scheana [in Section 2 of the reunion]. I wish in some equal universe that Raquel might have given that to Scheana, in light of the emotional impact of that. However, we were not lacking for any contention or any show. Who knows; perhaps that will occur next season on the show.


Going to the gathering is essential for their legally binding commitments, however Scandoval kickback, psychological well-being issues and that TRO made for special conditions. On the off chance that anybody on the cast said they won't partake, could you have permitted that? What's more, would you say you are stunned everybody did partake eventually?


Indeed. However extreme as the gathering seems to be, for the creation the difficult work goes into arriving in any case. Furthermore, this was as troublesome and as extreme of half a month as you can envision. On the off chance that you check the timetable: We found out about the issue on Walk 2; Ariana learned on Walk 1 out. We had cameras up on Walk 3. Then the actual gathering was on Walk 23. At the point when you consider managing the aftermath of all of that, then shooting the extra [finale] episode and preparing the gathering, under every one of the factors that the get-together involved, it was a ton.


Obviously, our most ideal situation was that everybody would show so we could recount the full story. In any case, there's a legally binding prerequisite and there's a reality that you can't cause anybody to accomplish something that they are only purpose on not doing. We were worried about everybody's prosperity. What's more, that is the reason at first, when Raquel didn't appear as though she planned to go, or possibly there was uncertainty and she wasn't in correspondence with us by then, it isn't like we would have constrained her to do as such.


 That's what our inclination was assuming she planned to go, it would be voluntarily and she would need to be alright with everything going on. Furthermore, on the off chance that she wasn't, we would have been disheartened from a narrating viewpoint, however we likewise would have perceived. Furthermore, that goes with anybody there. In covering people groups' lives, we can drive them to do nothing that they don't do independently. At times it implies that they would rather not be there, however that is not quite the same as pursuing the choice not to show up out of the blue, particularly for psychological well-being.


Did Tom Sandoval attempt to escape recording?

Sandoval never attempted to escape the gathering. I thought, "Would I have gone?" I don't have any idea! He was never in uncertainty. He clearly was fearing it, and that will be perceived. Yet, I think he generally guessed that he would go, and I think he was satisfied to have the one-on-one meeting also so he could express his real thoughts discrete and aside from the group.


You have sent TikTok ablaze with your remark that the cast will need to observe Section 3 preceding marking on for season 11. That appears to not be precisely exact thing you said. Might you at any point explain?


It's so amusing in light of the fact that I've gotten a wide range of truly forceful messages from individuals, including that I will be "executed" on the off chance that there's failure in what happened contrasted with what I developed it to be. What I would agree is, by any gathering stance, it is a super-dangerous occasion and it is a major turn.


 Raquel isn't pregnant. There's no story that includes outsiders or winged serpents! Yet, what I had said was that it's a wind toward the finish of gathering that, assuming that we were underway, the cast would have answered. What's more, it's one of the many reasons that we needed to pause for a minute between the gathering circulating and returning into creation.


I simply feel that it would have been truly challenging for the gathering to then keep on pushing ahead, on the grounds that this advancement occurred after the get-together was shot. We're in a questionable spot toward the finish of the get-together. We didn't know going into the day regardless of whether we would have a forward leap, and I in all likelihood will express that things are disrupted by and by.


There's no extraordinary spoiler in saying that. And afterward there's a further improvement a couple of days after the get-together that we cover; it isn't similar to it's something the gathering saw at that point. So I believe they're goin

Appearing in the fall of 2005, Criminal Minds follows the specialists of the FBI's Social Examination Unit as they utilize their logical profiling abilities to get criminals. Most popular for their nerve racking cases that are generally founded on a genuine wrongdoing story, the series put itself aside from other procedural shows as a result of its non-predictable composition and accentuation on characters. Indeed, even as Criminal Minds ran into its second ten years on the air, the cases never neglected to enchant.


Other than the fundamental cast that pivoted all through the show's 15-season unique sudden spike in demand for the air, Criminal Minds was additionally populated by many supporting characters who were similarly just about as entrancing as the headliners. 


The best episodes of Criminal Minds typically highlighted a fair sprinkling of the principal cast and supporting troupe, and the pivoting characters helped keep the series from truly becoming flat. Kevin Lynch was one such person who turned into a repetitive person more than a few seasons, and he helped the group as well as turned into an indispensable piece of perhaps of the most dearest Criminal Brain principal characters' close to home turn of events.


Kevin Lynch Was A Specialized Investigator On Criminal Minds

However he was best associated with being a hit or miss heartfelt interest for Penelope Garcia, the personality of Kevin Lynch really filled a need for the BAU group. Presented in Criminal Minds season 3, episode 9, 


"Penelope", Lynch filled in as a specialized examiner who utilized his PC clever to help suss out who shot her.

However Brendon's Buffy character had additional opportunity to gleam on screen, he had comparative qualities to Brendon's supporting job on Criminal Minds.


 Entirely right at home, Brendon carried life to the Lynch character through his geeky disposition and the force with which he moved toward his work. The two jobs would proceed to characterize Brendon's vocation and set the kind of nerdy characters he would be known for.


Kevin Lynch's destiny was left fairly obscure in the Criminal Minds universe, and that could be credited to the entertainer's abrupt takeoff from the series. However Brendon was never formally terminated from Criminal Minds, almost certainly, he wasn't composed into any ensuing episodes after season 10 on account of his extremely open altercations with policing. 


His last Criminal Minds appearance was season 10, episode 2 "Consume", which circulated in October 2014.

 Netflix’s hit series Outer Banks will be back for season 4, with some details already confirmed and a first teaser trailer released. 




The young adult drama centers on a group of working-class teens, the Pogues, whose lives in North Carolina’s Outer Banks are changed forever when they discover clues that may lead them to a fortune in hidden treasure. The show has become one of the best teen series on Netflix, balancing its high stakes and commentary on wealth inequality with its sense of adventure and the endearing bond between its central protagonists. Everything confirmed about season 4 indicates that this balance will remain at the heart of the show


Interviews, announcements, and the information found in the season 3 finale combine to form a picture of what Outer Banks season 4 will look like. The new season takes place 18 months after the events of season 3 and is described by co-creator Josh Pate as something of a fresh start. 


He says, “We think about the first three [seasons] as a trilogy, and then we’re starting over on [another sort of] trilogy now" (via TUDUM). Season 4 still needs to resolve some lingering mysteries, and viewers have some Outer Banks theories after season 3, but the cast and tone that made it a hit are returning to deliver answers.


An appearance by John B actor Chase Stokes at TUDUM brought the latest news about Outer Banks season 4 in June 2023. TUDUM is Netflix’s annual fan event held in São Paolo, Brazil, where the streamer shares the latest information about their original projects. 


Stokes took the stage to thunderous applause as he recounted some of the biggest Outer Banks moments of season 3 and celebrated “Poguelandia," the immersive Outer Banks event that took place in early 2023 to celebrate the release of the third season.


Stokes’s TUDUM speech confirmed that Outer Banks season 4 production is almost underway, and he had flown directly from the set to deliver his address. However, this wasn’t the biggest surprise of the event, as Stokes rounded out his speech with a teaser trailer for season 4. The fan reaction to his entire speech underscores the popularity of the show. 


As Stokes counted off some of the third season’s biggest plot threads, the loudest reaction came at his mention of the long-teased Outer Banks romantic pairing of JJ & Kiara. The speech demonstrates Outer Banks’ enduring appeal, proving that Netflix was certainly justified in ordering a fourth season.


Outer Banks Season 4 Is Confirmed

The announcement that Outer Banks has been renewed for season 4 came much earlier than expected. While celebrating the imminent release of Outer Banks season 3 at “Poguelandia," Chase Stokes announced onstage that Outer Banks had been renewed for a fourth season before season 3 had even hit screens. 


Such an early renewal shows substantial faith in the series on Netflix’s part, but the viewing numbers for season 3 certainly justified their gamble. Not only did Outer Banks take the number one spot on Netflix’s English-language top 10 upon release, but it also managed to pull in more views than the next four shows on the list combined (via Variety).


JJ, Sarah, Cleo, John B, and Pope in the grass in Outer Banks Season 3

Netflix has not yet confirmed a release date for Outer Banks season 4. There has been some speculation that the WGA Writers Strike could delay the release of the fourth season. While the scripts for season 4 were likely completed before the strike, the need for writers on a continuing basis during filming means that the strike could delay the production of season 4.


Some shows, such as House of the Dragon and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, are going into production despite the absence of on-set writers. The show’s presentation at the 2023 TUDUM event gave the implication that Outer Banks will be following suit.


Stokes’s TUDUM speech stated that the cast and crew are “back in the Outer Banks getting ready to go back into production on season 4." The phrasing is significant, as Stokes did not confirm that filming is currently underway; as such, it seems that Netflix is not ruling out the possibility of a delay in production. 


However, the presence of the cast is a good sign that the show will indeed commence filming imminently. If there are no disruptions to production, chances are good that season 4 of Outer Banks will be hitting screens by the summer of 2024.


Outer Banks Season 4 Cast

The TUDUM teaser trailer for Outer Banks confirmed that all six of the “Pogues” will be returning to the Outer Banks cast in season 4. The trailer playfully shows each central character in sequence, starting with Sarah (Madelyn Cline), followed by Cleo (Carlacia Grant), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), Kiara (Madison Bailey), JJ (Rudy Pankow), and John B (Chase Stokes). Also expected to return are series antagonist Rafe (Drew Starkey), his new girlfriend Sofia (Fiona Palomo), drug dealer Barry (Nicholas Cirillo), and Sarah’s jilted ex, Topper Thornton (Austin North). Following the season 3 finale, Big John actor Charles Halford and Ward Cameron actor Charles Esten are not expected to return.


No official plot details have been published yet, but interviews with the creators and speculation based on the events of season 3 can give a strong impression of what's coming in Outer Banks season 4. The biggest clues for what to expect in season 4 come from the season 3 finale epilogue, set 18 months on.


 The closing moments of season 3’s final episode saw a man approaching the Pogues with a promising proposition. He has a captain's log from 1718 that contains information about the pirate Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard. By all indications, Outer Banks season 4 will see the Pogues on the hunt for the famed pirate’s treasure.


The Outer Banks season 3 epilogue also saw the main characters busy with their own pursuits. John B and Sarah are running a surf shop, Pope is at school, Kiara is saving turtles, and JJ bought a charter boat. Outer Banks season 4 will flesh out these developments and feature flashbacks to fill in the gaps from the last 18 months, as showrunners Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke confirmed. 


When asked whether Outer Banks season 4 will be the show’s last, the showrunners revealed (via EW) that they are no longer adhering to their initial plan of having the series run for only four or five seasons.


Presented at Netflix's TUDUM event, the teaser trailer for Outer Banks season 4 shows the Pogues in their natural habitat on Kildare Island in front of their reliable van, the Twinkie. The trailer doesn’t reveal much, but its playful tone and summery music are a good indication that in Outer Banks season 4, the series' usual sense of fun is still intact, as is the connection between the group.

 Christie's proposal to admit to the homicide of his girl Malva successfully let Jamie free, as Lead representative Martin believed Jamie should accumulate warriors for the English reason in return for Claire's opportunity. While Christie brought his own motivations to the table for his opportunity up for Claire, the results of his admission permitted Jamie not to agree with a particular stance in the Unrest freely.


Taking into account his past with the English and all that they addressed, Jamie couldn't ever have accumulated powers for them, considerably more so as he probably was aware those he persuaded to battle for the English would have kicked the bucket for a waste of time.



 Jamie's loyalties were at that point put under serious scrutiny due to his fellowship with Ruler John Dark, who might have just upheld the crown, yet Claire's security was significantly more critical to him, so Lead representative Martin involving her opportunity as a negotiating concession was extraordinarily tricky. Fortunately, Tom Christie's admission in Outlander season 7, episode 1 postponed the second Jamie should transparently stand firm.


Jessica Reynolds as Malva Christie in Outlander season 6

Tom Christie's admission and his discussion with Claire in the Outlander season 7 debut point by point the purposes behind his alleged homicide of his girl, yet Malva's executioner in Outlander season 6 is as yet unclear. Correspondingly to the books, Christie admitted that Malva wasn't his genuine little girl yet his niece, and his remarks about her trickery making her a witch appeared to be persuading. In any case, neither Claire nor Jamie accepted he was the executioner, particularly as he offered himself as influence for their wellbeing on their excursion out of Fraser's Edge in Outlander season 6.


While the books expressly name an executioner, Outlander season 7, episode 1 let Tom Christie settle the secret by offering himself up. In any case, with Claire and Jamie not accepting him the personality of Malva's child's dad at this point unclear, Outlander season 7, episode 1 didn't clear up Malva's terrible homicide.


Considering that her story and passing are especially terrible in the books, being because of her stepbrother Allan, who physically manhandled her for a really long time and was likewise the child's dad, Outlander season 7 could have decided to leave the secret perplexing. Ideally, however, Allan will be dealt with here and there.  

Brennan Martin as Wendigo Donner in Outlander season 5 episode 12

The fire that annihilates Fraser's Edge in the books - and for which Brianna turned back the clock to caution Claire and Jamie in Outlander season 4 - is set by person who jumps through time Wendigo Donner on account of his requirement for gemstones.


 Nonetheless, Wendigo told Roger he had the gemstone to get back to his time in Outlander season 7, episode 1, and his main issue comprised of being a recruit going to battle for the English since he was in prison. While Donner's momentum circumstance doesn't mean he will not lose the gemstone, his appearance actually put the obliteration of Fraser's Edge into high gear, which has upset Jamie and Claire since season 4.


Jamie's pride would have handily made him decline Tom Christie's proposition, however he acknowledged in light of the fact that he perceived Tom's affection for Claire as the justification for his affirmation. For sure, Tom's decision to safeguard Jamie and Claire in the Outlander season 6 finale, ensuring that they wouldn't be killed by Richard Earthy colored's powers, consistently confused the two. 


Notwithstanding, his lonely love for Claire at last explained why he changed his assessment of her, referring to her as "honorable" in Outlander season 6, and why he asked over Jamie's whereabouts and gave cash to Claire in prison. At last, Tom's adoration for Claire tackled her most concerning issue, and Jamie and Claire will be everlastingly thankful to him.


Outlander Season 7's Debut Finishes The Browns' Fight With The Frasers

The Browns' quarrel with the Frasers had been happening since Outlander season 5, provoked by Lionel Earthy colored's disdain for Claire and all that she represented. After Marsali killed him as revenge for kidnapping and redundantly attacking Claire in the Outlander season 5 finale, Lionel's sibling Richard basically guaranteed Jamie that he would make them pay for killing his sibling. 


Richard's entire mission against Claire, painting her as a killer in Outlander season 6 allowed him the opportunity to retaliate for his sibling, however it likewise elaborate the whole town and led to many issues for Jamie and Claire.


Outlander season 7's cliffhanger finishing saw Jamie face Richard with each goal to kill him off, particularly after he attempted to return him on a boat to Scotland definitively to isolate him from Claire. Whether Jamie will really kill off Richard Brown as he guaranteed in the closure snapshots of the debut or not, the person having found him implies the fight is destined to be finished. 


After all the agony the Browns caused Jamie and Claire, Outlander season 7, episode 2 gets the opportunity to close that section for good at long last.

 Never mind Ganon, anyone who has ever been brave enough to look will tell you that the true Dark Beast of the Zelda franchise is its timeline.


 Up until Skyward Sword, many of us were happy enough to form our own theories about how the games slotted together, or just play blissfully unaware of the intricacies of how one flowed into the next. Then the Hyrule Historia came along in 2011 and shook everything up.


Instead of one cohesive timeline, this official tie-in book suggests that there are in fact three separate strands to keep track of after the events of Ocarina of Time — 'The Hero is Defeated' and 'The Hero is Triumphant (Child and Adult eras)'.


 And this doesn't account for any of the games that release after Skyward Sword, so we have only been able to speculate on where the likes of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom slot into the mix. Simply put, it gets really complicated, really fast.


Fortunately, we're here to help try and make sense of it all. We have pored over official Hyrule chronologies from the books, looked for clues in the games, and read through enough theories to make a Zonai go zany, all in the name of trying to work out where Tears of the Kingdom (and Breath of the Wild) fall on the order of events.


We will do a brief recap of the 'official' timeline before we delve into this latest generation just so that we are all on the same page. And yes, we will be discussing set events and plot points from almost all Zelda games in this one (though we have gone easy around Tears of the Kingdom for now), so do be prepared for spoilers ahead.


Hyrule and the Triforce are created by three goddesses (Din, Nayru, and Farore) and are left in the control of another goddess called Hylia. War quickly breaks out after an evil being called Demise attempts to get the Triforce but is sealed away by Hylia and her armies. Hylia lifts the Triforce and humans into the sky on a giant floating island called Skyloft.


Hylia is reborn as a human (Zelda) who is kidnapped by one of Demise's servants and pulled to the surface in an attempt to get the Triforce. She is saved by her friend Link, who defeats Demise, but not before the villain curses the pair, swearing that his quest for vengeance will be eternal, and a version of his evil will forever hunt those with the blood of the goddess — spooky stuff.


Years pass. The people of Skyloft return to the surface and name it Hyrule. There is some nasty business with a mage called Vaati, who is eventually sealed into a powerful Picori blade known as The Four Sword.


After some years of peace, Hyrule descends into Civil War. A baby is entrusted to the Great Deku Tree to be raised as a Kokiri, growing up to become Link. Link meets a new version of Princess Zelda (there's going to be a lot of this reincarnation business, to be clear) 


and the pair learn that an evil Gerudo called Ganondorf is attempting to steal the Triforce, and Link travels forwards seven years in time so that he can wield the legendary Master Sword and defeat the evil.


Having defeated Ganondorf at the end of Ocarina of Time, Link is sent back in time to live out his childhood. He places the Master Sword back in its pedestal, warns Zelda of Ganondorf's plans and flees with the Ocarina so that the Gerudo can never open the Seal of Time just in case he manages to escape punishment (spoiler: he does).


Link visits a parallel world, fights a scary moon, and returns to Hyrule to live out the rest of his days unremembered as a hero — it's all very sad, and the games don't go into it all that much.


One hundred years pass, Ganondorf escapes his execution (who would have thought it?!) and is banished to the Twilight Realm where he builds his power and eventually kidnaps Princess Zelda.


 A direct descendent of the Hero of Time (also called Link) goes on a quest to save the Princess. He kills Ganondorf, saves Hyrule, and the gateway between the two realms is shattered. Ganondorf is reincarnated and frees Vaati from the Four Sword, but Link makes light work of them both.


Rewind to the end of Ocarina of Time. Link defeats Ganondorf (who is sealed away by the sages) and is sent back in time, so what happens to the timeline without Link? Well, carnage.


 Ganondorf escapes the seal and takes over Hyrule. With no hero there to protect them, the king of Hyrule leaves the fate of the world to the gods who swiftly flood the lands, letting only a select few survive.


Years pass and Ganondorf escapes from his watery grave (yep, once again). Link gathers together the broken shards of the Triforce, repowers the Master Sword, and descends to the bottom of the ocean to put an end to Ganondorf for good — he stabs the sword into his head, turning the Gerudo to stone (this one is serious). On the wishes of the King of Hyrule, the Triforce, Ganondorf, and Hyrule itself are washed away in the hopes of a better future.


Link and Zelda (here called Tetra) go on a quest to find a new Hyrule. There are some shenanigans with a Ghost Ship along the way, but they eventually find a new land (and it even has its own railway network). Hundreds of years later, Zelda and Link (reincarnated) free the land from evil and they live happily ever after...


Back to the end of Ocarina, but this time Link is defeated by Ganondorf. The Demon King takes the Triforce and is sealed away in the Sacred Realm by the seven Sages, corrupting it into the Dark World. The Sages seal off the Dark World completely.


Ganondorf's power grows and a hero called Link (surprise surprise) ventures to the realm to defeat him. He is successful and takes control of the Triforce, wishing for peace and entrusting the emblem to the royal family.


There are a number of adventures in the ensuing years, with various reincarnations taking the starring role. These involve fish islands, flame resurrections, and hopping between worlds. The short version is that there's some family drama with the royals and Zelda is put into an eternal coma.


Ganon is resurrected again but is defeated by Link. Link regains the full Triforce, uses it to awaken the sleeping Zelda, and peace is restored to Hyrule.


When Does Tears Of The Kingdom Take Place?

In short, there is no official answer. But we do know that Tears of the Kingdom appears much later on from everything that has come before.


According to Creating a Champion, the Breath of the Wild tie-in book, we know that this pair of games come right at the end of a timeline. The BOTW prologue (which you can find full details of in the article below) 


details the rise of the Great Calamity and the subsequent Imprisoning War 10,000 years prior to the events of the game. This is a long old time by Zelda standards, so we can be sure that these games take place far in the future of Hyrule, but which future?


Typically, there has been no official word from Nintendo on this one, but from all of the evidence that we can gather from both BOTW and TOTK, the games appear to reference multiple different timelines, suggesting that in the 10,000-year gap, the timelines converge — yay!


Look back to Breath of the Wild. We know from the carvings around Zora's Domain that in the game's past, Princess Ruto was awakened as one of the seven Sages. This aligns with both the Adult and Fallen Hero timelines, as Ruto undergoes no such transformation when Link returns to being a child.


There are also both Koroks and Rito in this game, pointing towards the evolutions that the Kokiri and Zora respectively underwent after the flood of Hyrule in the Adult timeline. Then again, there are also still Zora in BOTW and TOTK, so there's no confirmation there either.


All this is to say that the timelines which have previously held their own narrative threads, resurrections and key historical events, appear to have converged in the Hyrule of Tears of the Kingdom. Creating a Champion hints at this even further, lumping every other game in the series together under the collective banner of 'myths'.


Might we be looking at the first true Zelda games in the series? With everything to have come before being nothing more than stories of a world long gone — a real legend of Zelda? Maybe.  Or, of course, these games might just belong to a timeline of their own, but we really, really don't want to think about that... 


Well there you have it, everything that you need to know about the Zelda timeline and where it is likely that Tears of the Kingdom sits in it. It's a rather confusing one, isn't it? When do you think Tears of the Kingdom takes place? Have the timelines converged or is this something completely new? Drop your theories in the comments below.
