"I still wonder about this supposed document Miyamoto brings up every now and then that supposedly has the complete story."

There's no way such a document exists.  The timeline is so full of inconsistencies that they have to be making it up as they go.  If Nintendo had a grand plan for Zelda do you think they would allow completely illogical stuff like Death Mountain, Kakariko Village and Lake Hylia hopping 'n' skipping to different locations of the map in different games?  Would they allow the Capcom Zeldas to have all sorts of characters and references from the other games just showing up whereever?  What about the difference in appearance of Zoras?  Or the super sped up evolution in Wind Waker, let alone the world destroying flood that seems to have no effect on games in the later timeline?

If Nintendo had a full timeline planned out ahead of time I figure it only covered the first six games or so and they've since be making it up as they go.  After all they couldn't really plan how many Zelda games they would want to make and I imagine they don't have a firm date where the series will end.  It's too much of a cash cow to put a cap on it like that.  Plus having a firm document to follow gives them less flexibility so they likely wouldn't be able to completely change styles between two games on the same console like they did on the Cube.

This talk about some sort of "Official" Zelda timeline is all well and good, but the fact is that it ISN'T Zelda. Zelda's not about this sort of thing at all. It's a great topic and a great curiousity, but... Zelda is NOT a continuous story, it's the same archetypal, mythical, essential tale of epic adventure re-imagined and re-lived down through the ages. It's timeless destiny, it's simple heroism, and it's above all this.

Pretty much.  I like Zelda being one all encompassing game with each release.  I find that whenever it attempts to reference any past games in attempts of a more cohesive story, the individual game suffers a little.  Not that little references aren't to its detriment, in fact I adore them, notably the subtle musical references.

Is that a record?

Also, great to see the Wii go up in sales while the PS3 and 360 go down in the same frame.

Looks like third parties are doing fine on DS which is a hopeful indication of how they'll do on Wii when more quality titles come from them!

You know I wouldn't mind playing another Zelda done like 2.
Also, to answer how Ganon could get resurrected couldn't they just wait until Link died of "Natural" causes it might take 50 years longer but it still work.

Me neither although I'd prefer if the sidescrolling gameplay was like the sidescrolling in Link's Awakening or Four Swords Adventures instead of Adventure of Link.

"Is that a record?"

Well I imagine around 1987 or so it wouldn't be uncommon for games on the NES to take up the entire top 50.

"You know I wouldn't mind playing another Zelda done like 2."

I think the concept has some potential with better technology.  A lot of what I dislike about Zelda II are things I dislike about most NES games.  The game is made harder because of the limiting design.  Poor translation makes it harder to figure out what to do.  Enemies are harder because Link's sword is about as long as a fork.  It's like how I hate Metroid but love Super Metroid.  The extra little bit of polish that the 16-bit era added made the series more enjoyable.  Zelda II's formula would benefit from a dose of user-friendliness that just wasn't common in the 8-bit era.

Tiger selling 2nd is good news, but without numbers, we don't know HOW good of news it is.
