The timeline itself was created by Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma who is the supervising editor of the book.

The recently released Hyrule Historia has revealed the origins behind Zelda, Link and Impa’s names. Impa’s name derived from the word impart, due to the fact that she imparts the Legend of Zelda.
