His species is human (proven in TP); Link is a Hylian Human.

About what you said about TP Link and OOT Link in my timeline they are the same.From OOT to TP is the Hero of Time Link Note: The only 100 year gaps are between SS and OOT and on the second line the gaps are between MM and WW
Timeline
SS-OOT-MM-MC-FS-FSA-ALTTP-OOS-OOA-OOX-LA-LOZ-AOL-Adult side of MasterQuest-TP
SS-OOT-MM-WW-PH-ST

Seond line of timeline is an alternate universe

This isn't a list of theories, it's a list of confirmed facts. Your theory is wrong.

omg this is reminding me of my philosophy class in college.. Im glad to now be apart of such an intellectual community. Wonderful theories guys.

“I think Majora is actually Ganondorf reborn.”[B]

This is not true as Majora's mask is a the last remnant of a demon destroyed by a hero. ( Personally I believe to be Link)
Unless Ganon became this demon in some way .
I would like some new zeldas to embrace this fact and shed some light on this.

More light does indeed need to be shed on Majora's Mask and its origins; I feel, too, that that may give us links and clues to future and past games. Dark Link could use some history, too.

If Link dies before the events of Twilight Princess, who returns the master sword?

Thew Master Sword was returned at the end of Ocarina of Time. Link does not have it in Majora's Mask.

I was using the adult timeline. He returns it in the child timeline

The Master Sword is returned in both the adult and child timelines seeing as how it is literally the "key" that transports Link through time.

it is returned on the AT. if not, the child timeline wouldn't exist.

Wow, in the OP where it says that Ganon was a demon reborn, turned out to be right on the money, as we saw in Skyward Sword.

So, I guess this desperately needs updating now, right?

To what, a big flashing picture saying "VULPES WAS RIGHT" and a link to your thread? Because I agree.

Hombre De Muncho, I figured out something to do with Majora's Mask in your timeline. Technically, Link never returned to Hyrule after Skull/StalKid Accidently Teleported him into Termina Link never got out, Therefore. Link is technically still In Majora's Mask and is in no way connected to Twilight Princess as a child.

But it is confirmed that TP Link is a blood descendant from OoT Link.
Link did return to Hyrule, as seen in the last cutscene, where he is the same woods at the beginning of the game.
Skull Kid didn't travel to Termina with the Majora's Mask. Remember Skull Kid was friend with the Four Giants and he met Tatl & Tael in Termina. He somehow went to Hyrule and yes, stole the mask.

Link bif his farewells to Zelda after the events of Ocarina of Time in order to search for Navi.

He was ambushed by the Masked Skullkid who stole the Ocarina of Time and Epona, and so Link simply followed and chased him, ending up falling through the portal to Termina. Link followed Skullkid to Termina. He was never transported there - that never happened at all.

And at the end of the game, after Link had destroyed the evil in the Mask and handed it back to the Mask Salesman, he took Epona and went back to the woods to continue searching for Navi.

The Link in MM is not the same Link as TP Link. TP takes place centuries after OoT, and furthermore, the Hero's Shade in the game is Link the Hero of Time's lingering sentiment (TP Link himself is one of many incarnations of the original hero Spirit).

There is a single, linear progression from OoT's CT to TP. The only single deviation (if you choose to see it as such) is when Link traveled Termina and then back again.
