This is my thread explaning why the split timeline is a load of bull**** this is why. It could have never happend due to the fact that in Windwaker(which is said to take place in Hyrule B) speaks of Majora's Mask(said to take place in Hyrule A). Also They say the Minish Cap was the first game in the series
which cant be right. They say it is because all the Link's were the green hats because of that one Link. But what about OoT Link I say he didnt get his hat because of the Minish Cap Link he got his hat because he was rasied as a korkki. I myself never liked the split time line theroy I am not saying that no one sould belive in it im just think ive finally proven it wrong.

I think trying to make a timeline out of all the games is complete bull****... From what little I could make of that, it seems your basing most of it off a MM reference in WW. Would you mind telling what it is?

on a side note, i think timeline talk should be banned because all it does is lead to flaming.

I won't ban timeline talk, as it's a perfectly reasonable subject, but those who flame will be dealt with appropriately, so everyone who replies to this thread: Keep it clean.

I too would like to know...

Yeah I think the same thing but I never really said it 'cause I figured I would be flamed. It's like trying to make a timeline out of Mario or something.

There's an axiom in formal logic that states no two things can contradict, but it only applies to the real universe and I think what the problem with all the timeline theories is is that there's a lot of people that don't realize the axiom is only true for the real universe and not a fictional one.

Zelda is a fictional universe so ya can get two things that are both canon and completely contradict each other, so then you get a bunch of theologian logic going on where people start to mess with the semantics to make things fit within their timeline theories instead of just accepting the contradiction. The only way for Ninty to fix this would be to make like one big game that doesn't really have a story but instead just a whole bunch of retcons. That would be kinda boring.

Besides different people think different things are canon so that throws a real curveball into the whole thing, like what makes one person's opinion Wand of Gamelon is canon better or more sound or whatever than another person's opinion it's not? How about things that the exec. producer of the game says? Are they canon? Ok then how about the producer? How about the script writers? How about the rest of the production crew? Know what I mean? It's just all a big bunch of opinion.

What different people think is canon affects timelines so you have to have a bunch of timelines for every permutation of things that might be called canon. That's a lotta timelines. o.o

It's just a big bunch of begging the question to me, like you have a bunch of people that say they have the timeline theory figured out but whatever they say hinges on a big controversial if, and if that if is untrue then what they say is too because if ya debunk a premise you debunk its conclusion.

Yeah that's my 2 cents and change, wow this is a big post lol.

yeah...the only thing is that the creators have said in interviews that there is one time line stretching out over all of the zelda games. plus, you may think its a bother to come up with time line theories, but i think its rather fun, trying to piece it all together, it gives me something to do in between zelda games coming out, and then when one does you just rearrange your theory to fit it in, and have all the more fun doing that and you get to duke it out with your friends over whose time line theory is the best (that last part is optional)

so, thats my theory on zelda time line theories

Another good timeline theory, i personaly liked "Section 9-Darken Poltergeist's Theory"

Don't believe the split time line theory?
Eiji Aonuma: "Ocarina of Time basically has two endings of sorts; one has Link as a child and the other has him as an adult."

Iserguy's sig is proof enough of a "split-timeline" Who knows, maybe some peices are in the wrong place, but it's still possible that it's split.

I believe there's a timeline, but it's not really a line, it's kinda more of a circular square.

I think that's kinda what Pythonkid was trying to say too.

At the moment the timeline is full of holes and mystery.

Shigeru Miyamoto has said (I think) that he likes the idea of the split timeline, but to be honest I don't think they planned anything. The Metroid timeline is similar but more simple. There are always Metroids and bad-ass pirates and Samus. And how the heck does Ridley keep coming back? It applies to Link too. It doesn't matter how they got there, all that matters is they are there.
