-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
1) Ocarina of Time (possible Seal War) / Majora's Mask
2) Twilight Princess (possible Seal War/Great Flood)
3) The Wind Waker / Phantom Hourglass
4) (Great Flood subsides) The Minish Cap
5) Four Swords / Four Swords Adventures (possible Seal War)
6) (possible Seal War) / A Link to the Past / Link's Awakening
7) Oracle of Seasons / Oracle of Ages
8) Legend of Zelda / Adventure of Link
OoT/MM-TP = The Ancient Hyrule Era
TWW/PH = The Lost Era
TMC-FS/FSA = The Resettlement Era
ALttP/LA = The Reawakened Hyrule Era
OoS/OoA-LoZ/AoL = The "Divine Rule" Era
-OoT thru TP all take place in Ancient Hyrule, and, so far, are the only titles proven to do so. -TWW and PH take place in the Lost Era, and, again, so far, are the only titles to do so. -TMC thru FSA all take place in what appears to be a resettled Hyrule. Gradually the place names are reestablished, until we arrive at ALttP... ALttP and LA represent the Reawakened Hyrule era, by which time much of the Ancient Hyrule locales have been "restored", and are once again called, for the most part, by their original names. -OoS/OoA thru AoL belong to what we like to call the "Divine Rule era", because they all have evidence that the Triforce was in the possession of the Royal Family, and was used to rule.
There are some definite ways of looking at this;
-OOT has Ganondorf who at the end of the game turns into ganon all later games have Ganon (except for the few that have ohter villians), so OOT must be first.
-after the events of MM Link returns to Hyrule and starts a family with Malon the ranch girl, as she is the only female Link can actually start a family with, the other females that have a kind of relationship with link are all sages and must remain for the most part within the temples, and as Zelda is a princess of Royal descent and as Link is not, he cannot marry her, he can be friends with her though, this may explain why in TP Link is a ranch hand, carrying on the work of his father or grandfather (OOT/MM Link)
-TWW takes place 100 years after OOT, sometime during this time there is a huge flood that alters the layout and locations within the world of Hyrule, this event is called the great flood
-in most cases gameswith similar graphics follow on from one another, this was true of OOT and MM and that of LOZ and AOL, the same can be said for TWW and PH
-with the flood subsidng before TMC, it must therefore be after the only time there was a flood, after TWW, also it has similar graphics again.
-OOS and OOA are after LA, as the prologue for LA speaks of a Hylian prophecy and a Legendary Hero, these things were not in the oracle games, so therefore they should go after LA
