There's a timeline, but the games are best enjoyed in the order they came out, starting with the OG in '86.
Who cares about the order? Just play Ocarina of Time first! It'll hook you for life.
According to the official timeline from Nintendo: Skyward Sword, The Minish Cap, Four Swords, Ocarina of Time, then it splits into three branches - Decline Timeline (Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages & Seasons, Link's Awakening, A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link), Child Timeline (Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Four Swords Adventures), and Adult Timeline (Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks).
I've played every single one, and trust me, start with Breath of the Wild if you want to fall in love with the series. Then you can go back and appreciate the classics!
