Will there be a Zelda game explaining the events at the beginning of TWW?

We all thought maybe TP would provide us with the absolute answer to why Hyrule ended up in the state it was in TWW. Many speculated you would die at the end, and that you would fail in your task to stop Ganondorf. However it was not to be and we are still left with quite a gap to fill in the timeline. Sure at the end of TP Ganon exclaims before dying "The future of Hyrule will be written in blood" or something along those lines but we still have no idea how he managed to escape and cause Hyrule to flood. Maybe Nintendo will leave it open for fans to speculate on or maybe there is something we have missed or is it just a catastrophic event that it needs no real backstory to it. What do we all think?

Considering Twilight Princess occurs at the same time as The Wind Waker does, just in separate timelines, I doubt the sequels to Twilight Princess have anything to do with it...

There could be several reasons why a Hero failed to appear, but the cause of the flood is stated- the Goddesses flooded Hyrule to wipe out Ganondorf.

I doubt they'd make a game about it (the Hero never appeared, so he couldn't just show up and fail), but I would like to hear, perhaps as backstory to another game, about why there was no Hero- I'm guessing he was dead.

I have a sort of theory that Ganon could have attacked or whatever when the current hero was really old or was an infant. I mean since the hero always gets reincarnated (i think) why not attack in the period where he can't do anything.

Why when he's old -> why when he's old? What can a man with arthritis ad who is probably peeing and pooping himself do?
Why when he's an infant -> what is a baby with no motor skills who is peeing and pooping himself able to do?

Although there still is the possibility that maybe some great magician's (maybe great faries or sometype of magical creature with knowledge of goddesses stuff and triforce thing) can just find them and make him younger/older. So I don't know.

I dont know if i accept the spilt timeline theory. But to be fair the entirety of Hyrulean history has been left intentionally vague. Could you mush them all together into one coherant order, probably. Would it add anything to the saga? Maybe.

I too kinda hoped that TP would lead into WW. And to be fair, without an exact chart of when and where it still concievably could. In the end its still Hyrule, i guess. And thats enough for me.
