* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' is a bit of a mess, as [[Fanon]] persists in trying to find some coherent continuity between the games. [[Word of God]] stated the [[Time Travel]] shenanigans in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' actually ''split'' the timeline, giving twice the elbow room for [[Fan Wank]]-ery. Though thanks to Shigeru Miyamoto's occasional nonsensical statements, nobody's sure if [[Word of God]] knows what it's talking about at any given time anyways.

** The series timeline has been recently revealed in the book "Hyrule Historia", turns out the timeline was split in 3 branches in OOT.
* The ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' series plays around with the [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] and as a result only the first two, ''Blood Omen'' and ''Soul Reaver'', are in normal order. ''Soul Reaver 2'' picked up where ''Soul Reaver'' left off with the main characters travelling back in time to a couple decades before ''Blood Omen'', then they travel forward to several centuries after ''Blood Omen'', then back to centuries before ''Blood Omen''. The fourth game, ''Blood Omen 2'', takes place between ''Blood Omen'' and ''Soul Reaver'' in an altered timeline caused by the fifth game, ''Defiance''. Defiance picks up right where ''Soul Reaver 2'' left off and switches between the two heroes who are in different time periods, one is still in the time period centuries before ''Blood Omen'' and the other is exactly in the same timeframe as ''Blood Omen'', the events of that game occuring unseen at the same time as the events of ''Defiance''. If you followed all that, congratulations, you just mastered one of the most complex time travel plots ever known.
