You've obviously seen the GameTrailers Timeline...forget EVERYTHING you saw in it, it's all a lie. Seriously. I wrote an article about it. ZI is still down, but I might be able to find it somewhere.
Anyway:
-The Hero of Men is NEVER stated to be Gustaf
-Just because the Hero of Time isn't mentioned dosen't mean MC is first. Only
OoT,
MM, and WW mention the Hero of Time [and
TP implies it]...does that mean the other 10 games ALL come before
OoT??
-The Minish were not "tired of the fighting". What Minish Cap REALLY says is that the world was about to be swallowed up by shadows/evil, and the Minish Came in and helped the Hero of Men save the day.

Well, I was just thinking on how many years could have passed between each game, and so I figured that anything could've easily happened to the Triforce.

It's usually not a good idea to leave something important like that up to imagination. You should have some sort of explanation for how it happened, as it's a very significant storyline element. Especially when you consider that
AoL ends with the Triforce complete and in the castle, and OoX begins with the Triforce complete and in the castle.

If you think about, LA was one of the first Zelda games. Therefore, not any of the future games existed yet, so the backstory was near the beginning. But, OoT, according to Nintendo (before TMC came out), was the first game in the timeline. The LA backstory could've happened at the very beginning, but LA happens in the closer ending of the timeline due to the fact that: 1.)Link comes back from Holodrum/Labrynna and finds that Hyrule has moved North (in LoZ, you must get all of his items again, and he finds that the Hyruleans DID move North, as seen in LA.) Secondly, LA occurs only seasons after LoZ, according to Nintendo.

The Hyruleans didn't just "move" north. The kingdom we see in
AoL has existed for quite some time. The kingdom of
LoZ got destroyed though, leaving only
AoL Hyrule. It wasn't "moving", it's just that
AoL Hyrule is all that was left.

I personally believe that either a split or linear timeline could BOTH work, if you place facts correctly. Any of those timeline interviews could easily be fake, made by either linear or split supporters.

They're not fake. There's three documented interviews in which they state there's a split, and they're not translated by splittists...they're translated by un-biased Nintendo workers.
