I want to start the game on friday. After playing Ocarina of Time a long time ago I ask myself how MM fits into the timeline. Is it a direct sequel to OoT? I mean you start the game as a kid again and as far as I remember you were an adult at the end of OoT.

Best Answer
There are several "theories" about the timeline of the Zelda franchise, and all do make sense in their own ways. The interesting thing to note is that the timeline actually splits after Ocarina of Time.
Nintendo actually did release an official timeline for the Zelda franchise:
However, some believe that this is incorrect, and a different timeline has been created, though this is... just a game theory...
But to answer your question: "Where does MM fit into the timeline?" It is a direct sequel to OoT (by direct I mean it is one of the games that occurs directly after the events of OoT).
