Forum:The truth about the timelines

Why there is only one timeline: The theory of the split timeline relies on one thing. It states that “when link defeated Ganondorf, he went back in time to warn the people of his treachery, splitting the time line from his adult, to his childhood. There are several flaws to this. 1.	Time does not affect sages, or people (locked) in the sacred realm. This is proved easily. Go back to your OOT game, (on the file where you’ve beaten the game) and return to your childhood. Now, play Saira’s song. AH-HA! “Link, did you beat all the temples yet?” how could childhood Saria know about the temples? Because Sages aren’t effected by time, they can see all the way to there death in there own future, and she knew that the Link playing her song was the link who was trying to beat the temple, not the link trying to get the stones 2.	There is another explanation. THERE ARE TWO LINKS IN OOT not literally, but time caused two links. The first link left his forest, got the stones, picked up the master sword, awakened the sages, and “killed” Ganondorf. Then, Zelda sent him back in time…now there are two links. One, sleeping in the temple of time, the other, free to live his life. While Link 1 is getting the stones, link 2 talks too Zelda, and explains everything. He keeps the ocarina2, and epona2. (Fans will ask (but why is link2 not there when link1 wakes up?) because link2 is in Termina, trying to find navi2.) (fans will also say “But the final scene, when Link goes to warn Zelda!) NO. this is link 1, going to talk to Zelda for the first time after getting the green stone. It’s showing how time is repeating.

Another thing that makes people believe in the split timeline theory, is the order the games were made. Oot, mm, ww, tp. Ph… the real order is oot, mm, tp, ww, ph. There is a never ending chain of links going back in time like link1 and 2, after them is link2 and 3, then 3 and 4…but Zelda never goes back. Zelda stays in the adult time, and sends link back. So, she rebuilds Hyrule, and life goes on. But, while the sages are sealing Ganondorf away, he kills one of them, and escapes. They lock him into the twilight realm for ten years…A new link,(Hero of twilight, or HT) born to the new town of Ordon, goes to the twilight realm unexpectedly. He meets Minda, defeats Zant, and fights Ganondorf, saving the same Zelda from OOT! The sages once again lock away Ganondorf, but he escapes, again, making Hyrule flood…

At the beginning of ww, it tells the story of OOT as a legend, but the end is different. The hero of time disappears, (Zelda sent him back) and Ganondorf attacks again. Ww says he just takes over, it fails to mention that HT fights him, but unfortunately, Ganondorf escapes. Ganon survived the flood, and ww happens, Link, the hero of winds (HW) kills Ganon for the last time, stabbing him through the head. New link, new Zelda, dead ganon. Ph happens with HW, no ganon.
