Personally I just follow the episode order, keeps things simple.

Here's
an attempt at ordering the season 1 episodes.
But yeah, I tend to assume that the episodes take place in the order they air unless there's a reason to assume otherwise.

Still less convulated than the branched timeline of Hyrule

That's only because we haven't started messing with Season 2 yet.

I wonder if any season 2 episodes take place before some of the season 1 episodes?
Ow, my head hurts.

I would doubt that seriously. This isn't Haruhi where the episodes are done out of chronological order :P

Well, with It's About Time, we theoretically have a split timeline. One with the Stable Time Loop, and the one without it that the timeline with the loop in it split off of. Of course, the only difference between them is how exactly Twilight found out about time travel and her ensuing craziness, so it doesn't really matter much.

Well, any episode with someone other than Twilight doing the letter is obviously later than the season 1 episodes. Although it doesn't preclude Twilight from writing letters either, so it's still possible.
But I'm not going to bother to mess with that.
Especially because I need to get back to work on the review.

It's possible that when Twilight time traveled the universe was destroyed and instandly replaced with another indentical universe. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

That one? I suspect the original timeline involved escapees from Tartarus and the collapsing dam. Narrativium ensures Twi gets the same injuries even after altering history.

@Ace Actually, there's a canon timeline now (for Zelda)
I'm somewhat convinced that once the show's run its course, we'll get a timeline

I'd like to get a definate age for the characters as well as a timeline.

Eh. I like it when they keep stuff like that a little vague. Allows for more freedom, y'know? Fill in the blanks yourself in whichever way fits best at the moment.

If you mean for Zelda, check my next post.
There's no canon timeline for MLP, yet, though

Ah, yes, the official Zelda timeline. It went ahead and shot down the double split timeline theory by making it a triple split timeline. It actually all makes sense, though.

@Kayeka Would it honestly harm the show that much if they said "Rainbow Dash is 22, Applejack is 21" etc?

That timeline is missing Skyward Sword between Four Swords and Ocarina.
In any case, Fluttershy is definitely a year older than Pinkie :D

I thought Skyward Sword took place first?
Anyway, I think everything in season 2 can safely be assumed to take place after season 1.
If there is anything that you are alone in thinking, it's "thinking that you're alone in thinking of your theories".

Definitely, Lesson Zero is basically Twi freaking out with a side order of post-Discord ptsd.

Yes, if only because of all the dumb debates that will then pop up over how somepony isn't acting their age, or something. The information isn't required for any of the plotlines, and it would only constrain the characterization.
Besides, would it do any good, besides satisfy a curiosity?

The girls are 50, Granny Smith is really 22, the CMC are middle-aged stallions.

But they're ponies. A 21-year old pony and a 21-year old human would proberly act different in terms of maturity. The Vague Age really bugs me so I'd like it answered.
