While there are a handful of titles released in the Legend of Zelda series that are direct sequels to a previous game in the franchise, the majority of them didn’t have a obvious connection to each other… until Nintendo finally decided to release a book with an official timeline that took all these seemingly disconnected events and placed them into one comprehensive narrative. From giving us a clear starting point with Skyward Sword to our current adventures in the Breath of the Wild saga, these events didn’t come together as one cohesive story at the time we played them… but once the creator revealed their connections even the most confusing chapters finally made sense.

In our lives, the events we are experiencing often feel random, with no clear narrative that makes these challenges and our collection of currently unanswered prayers make sense. But that is because we lack the perspective of our Creator, who knew every part of our story from the very beginning (including how it ends). What we’re currently living through might seem hard to understand at this moment in time, but let’s fully trust in the Lord (including the parts of His plan we can’t currently see) and follow Him in faith anyways. One day we’ll see these events and the purpose they were designed to serve as the beautiful tapestry He was crafting all along.

Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure”. Isaiah 46:9-10

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
