i remember hearing something like that too, but it must've been made early on when things were just for fun, like only having 2 pieces of the triforce and every daughter in the royal family being named zelda nonsense

[quote=Nabriales]I got lost at the 3-way split. Most timelines I've seen only split in 2? Did I miss something o_o[/quote]
Majoras timeline- Child Link time line
Wind waker timeline- adult Link time line
Alttp timeline-Link fails his quest in stopping Ganondorf causing the imprisoning war.
They're in Skyward sword. Ghirahim is able to summon moblins and bokoblins. They're just bad guys.
@Chema: There are hardly any in SS as well, and I don't recall any in 4S. Maybe they had a boom? I'm not saying this timeline is perfect, hell I don't even get it completely, but this is what people are gathering from Hyrule Historia. I've also never finished minish cap, but I remember them saying that a legendary hero came from the sky with a sacred sword..but the master sword isn't in minish cap, right? |:
@EenRite: Can I spoil?
NINTENDO's CEO clearly said they don't give a crap about timeline, and people should just enjoy each game as parallel universes
Long-story-short: They recycle characters in a cheap way to focus on gameplay
That^ aside, that timeline is flawed, since minishcap can't be an early game
Why?
Because on the minishcap the goron is an endangered race towards extinction
[quote=EenRite]haven't played the new one, but aren't there Moblins in Minish Cap? how do they explain that?[/quote]
Moblins are moblins. They're not directly linked to Ganon. Just play the new one, you'll see.
The basic idea for the timeline is this:
[i]Apparently[/i], OoT has 3 outcomes. Child Timeline, Adult timeline and an accidental failure timeline. When Link goes back to get the lens of truth from the well, he doesn't return to the original future, but instead an identical one. This means Link doesn't stop the original Ganondorf, cue imprisoning war and alttp
All I see is a chart. No description of how everything works into it.
Well, technically it's not totally official, but it seems pretty close.
