Is it possible or even probable that the heroes in the 5 main Elder Scrolls games are connected in some significant way such as being related? I know that nothing is confirmed because Bethesda wants the game to remain open, but for a role-playing view could this be the case?
Connection between the Elder Scrolls heroes?

Well, officially they are somewhat related in that they're all Shezzarine (or at least the protagonists from the last three games are Shezzarine), meaning that they're all incarnations of the dead god Lorkhan sent to Nirn during crises to ensure its survival. Otherwise, any further connection that they might have, such as being related by blood, are entirely up to you and your backstory for those characters. I personally have three Khajiit characters in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim all named Nihil, who I like to think of as being part of the same family of career adventurers. Why that family would have such a penchant for birthing powerful god-warriors, I couldn't say say, but that's their story and I'm sticking to it.
More or less there is no connection to any of the protagonists. Their backstories are left intentionally blank so you just imagine their backstory for yourself.
The only interaction any 2 protagonists have had is when the Dragonborn met the Sheogorath in Skyrim, that is the player character from Oblivion having ascended to the status of Prince of Madness.

The unofficial wiki mines that sort of info from in-game texts and rumours. Alternatively, it might be Word of God (from the guys at Bethesda left in charge of the lore).Cranyx said:
At the very least, they're all major players in the prophecies in the physical (well, 'physical'), in-game Elder Scrolls.
It's kinda suspected that all of the characters have all achieved CHIM.
CHIM is like.. Enlightenment.
Alright so History lesson, Elder Scrolls takes place in the dream of a sleeping god.
So everything is just the imagination of a god. Might just be a guy, not even a god.
But when you realize you don't actually exist and you're all just the same person, the sleeping god. one of two things happen.
One:
You cease existing and so does the memory of you.
Two:
You're full of enough ego to assert your existence even though you know you don't exist.
Then you're like playing life with cheats on.
I explained it badly but like the gist is people who achieve CHIM realize they're playing a game and learn how to exploit the universe and become gods.
Like all the player characters, and Vivec, and Talos I think.

That argument is kinda broken after reading "Racial Phyneyology" (Spelling?)nikki191 said:
The point of the book is that all humanoids can interbreed with one another, usually bearing the mother's race with some exceptions.
This is also why Jordis the Swordmaiden (Hot Nord Lady) has no problem attempting to make Dragonborn children with my Argonian Battle Mage.
I personally don't think they are connected at all. But that's just me.
