Temple of Time Location

This has probably been done before (probably should have checked) but I really gotta get my idea out there because in TP where the Temple of Time is bugs me. On so this is my idea: We all know (or should) that hyrule was devestated by floods and such, so what if when the floods went away the original temple of time in OoT was totally obliterated and then they decided to build a new one in the Sacred Grove. An then over time it was forgotten and fell into disuse.

Twilight Princess is not on the same timeline as Wind Waker.
In game evidence shows this, and Aonuma said so:

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 kid Link's now peaceful time. In the last scene of
Ocarina of Time, kids Link and Zelda have a little talk. 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 being
executed, right? Link and Zelda left him be and he then did something
outrageous, so it was decided he should be executed. That scene takes place
several years after Ocarina of Time. Ganon was sent to another world and nowhe wants to obtain that power...

Read this awesome guide for more information on the Split Timeline

Hmm ok fair point. But this is only a theory and timelines are not set. I generally think in chronological order so in my theory the timeline isn't split. We have eveidence supporting both ideas. So isn't it possible that I may be right if the timeline isn't split?

So you're saying a non-split timeline where TP takes place after WW?

^ The split is pretty much 100% proven. But if you think you have the evidence for a liner timeline then I say post it, and we'll deal with it

EDIT: It seems that my role in life is to be eternally ninja'd by Erimgard.

The temple of time of TP is the same temple of time from OOT, the only thing that surely was moved and rebuild it in TP is the Hyrule castle. And in the secuel of TP the hyrule castle will needed to be rebuild because ganin totally destroy the castle in the final of the game.

^ When considering geography and just common sense, don't you think they moved the ToT instead of the whole freaking castle town?

Which is exactly the point. The ToT was never destroyed in OoT. So in all theory it should have still resided in Castle Town durring TP. But it doesn't. Instead its in The Sacred Grove. So why? Answer: It must have been destoryed by something.

So where along the line does the ToT get destroyed? Well the only explination I can come to is when Hyrule is flooded.

If that were the case, then everything would be destroyed. Not just the ToT.
And the Master Sword would be in Ganondorf's head in the bottom of the sea...not in the Sacred Grove.

The lost woods are there now. Maybe they felt compelled to abandon old castle town when such a scary place moved in.

Also, there always seems to be volcanoes in Zelda games, so it's entirely possible that earthquakes knock things down every so often.

Actually there's another legit explanation. In TP, we hear that Ganondorf tried to enter the Sacred Realm, though we never know if he succeeded or not. It could be that after the attacks on the SR by Ganondorf, they decided to hide the ToT so that they wouldn't risk having the triforce ending up in the hands of some evil-being.

But if Ganondorf is so powerful wouldn't he be able to find the Temple no matter where they put it? As for the Master Sword it may have been moved and then put in it's proper place after the floods. Though I guess that isn't very likely.

Ganondorf was banished to the Twilight Realm after he tried to get in the Sacred Realm.
Hombre's saying after they stopped Ganondorf, they then moved the ToT as further precaution.
