as taken from Gamespot.com and IGN.com:
As for the game's story, The Wind Waker will offer a more cohesive presentation of the Zelda mythos. Set 100 years after the events in Ocarina of Time, the game will focus on a young boy named Link who is presented with green clothes that are tied to a legend that revolves around a hero dressed in green. One aspect of the back story to the Zelda games that hasn't been quite clear is that Link and Ganon represent the eternal struggle between good and evil. Just as Ganon represents timeless evil, Link embodies good, which explains why a hero named Link will always rise to fight Ganon. As a result, every Link seen in the various installments of the series can be considered to be a different one.
and I was woundering
Link in the first Zelda had brown hair (I think)
Link to the Past had PINK hair?!?
Ocarina Of Time had yellow!
but Ganon has different shapes? in the oracle series he was a huge pig like thing, the Ocarina of time he was the cool thife, I still wounder?
oo and here is some cool pictures, from gamespy.com:

Thanks for the info!

Is that Official??!!
I think like Hungrywolf, that, except for those mini-sagas (1 and 2, OoT and MM...) and portable versions, every Zelda was more or less a different version of the "same" story. It's impossible to link (how appropriate) them coherently. Some Zelda pages have tried and.... what could I say...
- Each Link is different, ok, but what about Zelda?
- Why is Hyrule absolutely geografically different in every game?
- Where were the supposedly ancient and wise races from the new games in the old ones (Good Zoras, Gorons...)?
etc, etc, etc Zelda CAN'T be one only coherent story.
-I thought you were arian....
-I'm vegetarian...

She's always the princess of the royal family. This ones's easy.
quote:
- Why is Hyrule absolutely geografically different in every game?
Because I say so. Hmmm, this doesn't sound convincing... Well, the game would be very boring if it were all the same. Besides, you have common places: Zora's lake (although not named this way always), Hyrule's castle, lost woods, a desert, the big mountains...
quote:

Zoras are that annoying water monsters in the pre-N64 Zeldas, Gorons could be those rock-like creatures falling in the mountains in ALttP.
As you may have guessed, I think that the Zeldas have SOME continuity. Ocarina of Time happens before A Link to the Past, you can check that if you watch the intro at the beggining of ALttP. It's OoT's ending, nearly. Adventure of Link is a continuation of the first Zelda, the Oracles games happen after Majora's Mask (Link is a Kid and rides Epona in the intros), and Link's Awakening happens after them. So, the time line, in my opinion is:
1) Ocarina of Time
2) Majora's Mask
3) Oracle of Seasons/Ages
4) Oracle of Ages/Seasons
5) Link's Awakening
Until here, it's the same Link (although he has the mania of losing all his items from adventure to adventure...)
6) The Wind Waker
.
.
(I don't know how many time passes)
.
.
7) A Link to the Past
And, somewhere after The Wind Waker, and (in my opinion, since there's not many information) after A Link to the Past:
8) The Legend of Zelda
9) Link's Adventure
Of course, this is like the Street Fighter storyline: Its story is subject to change when a new episode arrives. You know, playability before history accuracy.
EDIT: Changed the title and corrected a few evil typos.

most interisting hmmm...
Ocraina of time endding is LttP opening how did I miss that!!!
and why do you think the first Zelda and Links adventure are the last two episodes?
Well, just because OoT has to be the first (see my spoiler in the other post), and because they doesn't fit in another spot until the end. However, they could be placed after The Wind Waker, too. What's sure is that Ganon is a Pig there, so they have to be past-Ocarina. This are mere theories, though, made in my too often distractions from study.

oo and about the missing races, you might think of it like this, since the frist two zelda (time mage theory  ) are OoT and MM(edit and after oracle series ), then we can say that the gorons moved out of hyrule, the zoras where attacked by the sea monsters and they were forced to leave too.
and the thiefs clan are hidding until thier king who is born every 1000 years comes and lead them...Ganon.
If they are the monsters I said (and remember, the monster that gives Link the flippers in ALttP is... The kig of Zoras!), I prefer to think that they "de-evoluted" turning into another kind of monsters.

I don't know how you can link OoT and Link's awakening at all. I still think that MM was the sequel that takes place after OoT. And I think that Link's Awakening was a sequel to A Link to the Past and that The Adventure of Link is the sequel to The Legend of Zelda. However, if you are gonna link all the games together, The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link should be # 1 and 2...
