If Ganon dies in TP and WW, then I see with the story the way it is a nescecitty for a third split for continuity reasons. However Ganon dies at the End of ALttP so I'm not sure how LoZ and AoL fit after any time line. I guess I need to go into a corner and think some.
But as you can see I don't propose a timeline with no games.
CHILD TIMELINE- OoT-MM-TP (Link splits triforce by coming back)
/
Equlibrium -OoT---------------ALttP (this is how it was suppose to happen)
\
ADULT TIMELINE-OoT-WW-PH (triforce split in first timeline, triforce trancends all three)
Equilibrium exists as... a place...merges. Oh Crap! I give up
So much for an original idea

Equilibrium timeline? That seems very difficult to support. It's not that the reasoning couldn't be used for the events you suggested, it's that the reasoning could be used to justify almost any events no matter how out there they were. It's far too flexible of a device to be used as proof. Not so say I have any better reasoning for my chart, because I don't, I had to invent an unseen timetravel event for the LTTP-WW split.

There can't be a direct progression of OoT-aLttP, because the state of the Triforce is wrong.
So, if you have to put games in between OoT and aLttP anyway, you might as well put aLttP on one of the already existing timelines instead of trying to make a third timeline.

Nintendo made OOT to directly prequel LTTP, regardless of how the connection was damaged by WW's existence. The state of the triforce was not important then, and it really doesn't matter now.
