There are several ideas of what the timeline is, there not being one is one of them.
What I believe is this:
OoT,MM: LinkI, ZeldaII
LttP> LinkII, ZeldaIII
Oracle Series, LA: LinkIII, ZeldaIV
LoZ, AoL: LinkIV, ZeldaV (the Zelda in LoZ), ZeldaI (ZeldaI is the sleeping princess. She was put to sleep by a wizard at least 50 years before OoT)
That's my theory. The Link's were coincidence or fate, whichever you prefer. In between some of the games are centuries while others may just be decades. Obviously that means that ZeldaV might be the hundreth Zelda as opposed to just the fifth.
Then there's the GCN Zelda and GBA Zelda to figure in but not enough is known to really figure...
