This time line makes the most sense out of the ones I have heard. Yeah, now that I think about it, it all adds up. I'd probably have put Link's Awakening before the Oracle games, but since it's more than likely the same Link across those and Link to the Past it's not that huge a difference. |

Yeah, Link's Awakening was a dream, but one that ended with Link floating in the middle of an ocean on the debris that used to be his ship.
If you wanna get dark you can say that THAT Link (the LttP, Oracle, and LA Link) dies of exposure or drowns, and then the next Link starts up for the original NES games.

I don't understand where the third timeline comes from out of OoT. I understand Majora's Mask and I get Wind Waker, but I have NO clue as to how ALttP fits into that equation. Where's the break to that?

Where's the break to that? Like I said, the third timeline supposedly comes from Link NOT defeating Ganondorf in OoT, he loses, odds are he dies fighting Ganondorf. And since no one stopped Ganondorf, he just keeps on doing what he was doing and becomes the ruler of Hyrule. |

If Ganon has taken over Hyrule, then why the need for a puppet? |

The background material for Link to the Past explains that - when Ganondorf got the Triforce, he wished on it to rule over Hyrule entirely. The goddesses exploited a loophole and dumped him in a shadowy clone of it, and he wants to take the real thing.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense, especially considering that the Triforce does grant wishes and what {Spoiler}Link wants in The Skyward Sword is a righteous wish. I can live with that explanation. |

Answers my lingering question of why didn't they just flood Hyrule like they did in Wind Waker, as the two timelines come about via similar ways, Link not being around to stop Ganondorf, only difference is in the Wind Waker timeline, Link defeats Ganondorf one time before being removed from the timeline. |

I think it might help if the time travel mechanics were actually consistent throughout the different games. I won't spoil anything, but there are a number of examples of time travel in Skyward Sword where changing something in the past clearly effects the present, with no indication of a split.
And then there's Majora's Mask. I can't wait until Nintendo starts making sequels to the thousands of timelines that must have resulted from the events of that game.

The time travel in that one doesn't remotely make sense except as a gameplay convenience. |
