Which time line?

[hylianwarrior92]

I've been pondering this for awhile, and I was wondering, which time line does Twilight Princess fit into? The adult time line or the child time line?

Spoiler (Highlight to read):

---

I'm guessing the child time line, because they show Ganondorf get sealed, and he doesn't know who Link is, But I wasn't sure. And if it is in the child timeline, how did he get a hold of the ToP and transform into Ganon,

---

and where exactly does TP fit into the timeline?

Child Timeline. Eiji Aonuma has confirmed this.

Aonuma: The Wind Waker is parallel. In Ocarina of Time, Link flew seven years in time, he beat Ganon and went back to being a kid, remember? Twilight Princess takes place in the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years after the peace returned to kid Link’s time. In the last scene of Ocarina of Time, kids Link and Zelda have a little talk, and as a consequence of that talk, their relationship with Ganon takes a whole new direction. In the middle of this game [Twilight Princess], there's a scene showing Ganon's execution. It was decided that Ganon be executed because he'd do something outrageous if they left him be. That scene takes place several years after Ocarina of Time. Ganon was sent to another world and now he wants to obtain the power...

Yep, makes sense too, because the Hero's Bow of TP is from MM, which is in the child line.

That's IF theres a split timeline, and don't give me the "But the developers said..." bull either.

End of OoT: party scene, after Link has been sent back. Obviously the future didn't disappear after he was sent back.

Show me a single timeline that makes sense, I have yet to see one.

Yes TP is on the child side, makes the most sense with or without developer quotes.

Would you care to explain how your single timeline makes any sense then?

It's also called that in TWW...

Is it?? OK well I guess that doesn't count as evidence then. How did it get out of Termina in the WW? The same way the story of Tingle did..... ?

When WW was made, the split timeline didn't really exist yet. They had plausible reason for it to exist, but could have easily declared things to go the other way at that point.

There was a plausible reason ever since the party scene at the end of OoT

tingle also had a parrallel in hyrule so that means the tingle in termina is a parrallel of the tingle that is to come since there is difference of age in termina like the goron named link whos is the age of a adult goron but the one in Oot is still a infant so there is a possiblity that the tingle in windwaker is the hyrulian parrallel to tingle in termina just set 100's of years into the future and not to mention the almost paradoxing romani sisters which looks like romani came back in time to visit her young self so incase it is possible but highly likely just a descendent of the parrallel family of tingles from Oot if there was to begin with i might have to do a little bit more research on the models they used in Oot and MM
and i do apologize for getting off subject so heres part two

what we do know is the timeline is supposedly split in OoT and that it went from there to MM then when WW was released it erased MM in the timeline due to it being set in the adult links timeline thus MM never happend in this one then the story really is vague on how the young links timeline fits in with TP and has some faults since it could be in either of the timeline due to the hero's cloths if this was set in young links time then wouldnt the cloths be to small for him it aslo says for the description of a hero long ago probably refering to adult link becuase young at this time does not have the title of the hero of time or any so it is possible for it to be place in between Oot and WW or a somewhat altered timeline that is set after the events of young links timline in Oot.

and i do apologize for this post being so long.

That is possibly the longest sentence I've ever seen.
