Nintendo deciding where Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes fits in the timeline, costume talk

A portion of a Game Informer interview with Nintendo's Hiromasa Shikata...

GI: Where does Triforce Heroes take place in the Zelda timeline?

HS: That’s a tough question. The Zelda timeline is quite complicated if you look at the history of Zelda I think you can see there are three branches. I can’t really designate which one of those branches we’re looking at, but as far as the design itself, it really is Link Between Worlds. But it’s not – as far as a timeframe – before or after. We haven’t really settled on or said that.

GI: Does it take place in the same universe or world as A Link Between Worlds?

HS: Again, with the history of Zelda we have these three parallel worlds. I can’t say which one it’s in at this point.

GI: Will we see costumes fashioned after other Nintendo franchises?

HS: Like Mario? No. Stuff from the Zelda universe only.
