Era
Eras are time periods in the chronology of the The Legend of Zelda universe. The concept was introduced with the timeline in Hyrule Historia and reappeared in Encyclopedia.
Typically, the adventures of a particular Link are encompassed in a single era. An era may also refer to notable time periods in the series' backstory. In Hyrule Historia, eras are hierarchical (one era can have eras within it).

Notes
- ↑ Page 10 of Encyclopedia indicates A Link Between Worlds is in a separate era from A Link to the Past, but on page 69 places both games in the Era of Light and Dark.
