my version of timeline (could be wrong though)

WW-PH

OoT-MM-TP

LoZ-Aol

LA-OoS-OoA

it looks a tad bit confusing, but this is just my opinion.

[Erimgard]

Could you please explain what it means, and how it happens like that?

[Reign and Kisiro]

It seems that there are four splits after OoT, if I'm reading this right. A split with the Flood saga, a split with the Four Sword saga, a split with MM and TP, and a split with the the original LoZ, which somehow splits into three there, one end leading into ALttP, one leading into LA and the Oracles saga, and one leading to AoL.

Now, if you could kindly explain how OoT split so much, and how LoZ split at all...

[dingo131]

It means that it all started with the original LoZ. From that, three reincarnations came to be in different timelines (different dimensions, worlds something like that). The reincarnations where the links from ALttP, LA, and OoT. The original link went on to AoL.

ALttP's link: Nothing happened after that.

LA's link: went on to both of the oracles games.

OoT's link: went on to MM. hundred somethin' years later reincarnation BUT same timeline. OoT split into two more reincarnations; MC and WW.

MC's link:went on to FS and FSA.

WW's link: went on to PH.

does that clear it up for you?

I can't see how LA comes after OoX. It's obviously a sequel to something.

And why would OoT split into three? I just threw a rant about this

LA came BEFORE OoX. And OoT split into two not three. read my explanation.

[Hombre de Mundo]

^ LA must come after another game. There's no way around that, it's pretty obvious in the manual. Besides, wouldn't it make more sense to place LA after OoX seing as how OoX ends with boat, and LA starts with boat?

And according to your theory, OoT Splits into three.

OoT split into two more reincarnations; MC and WW.

WW-PH
| ........MC-FS-FSA
|(one) /(two)
OoT-(three)MM-TP

[Reign and Kisiro]

Oh, I think I understand now. So it's something like this:



Right?

Also, if I read your post right, TMC Link is the same a FS/FSA Link. That's impossible, the Four Sword chamber couldn't have fallen into such disrepair in only a year or so (TMC Link doesn't seem much younger than FS/FSA Link).

very true.
but about the OoT thing, it doesn't SPLIT into MM, that's the same link thats in OoT. And the two splits that im talking about are MC and WW. not MC and FS.

Er, how does Ganondorf have the ToP in LoZ if it's the 1st story?
And Hombre's right, OoT splits into 3.

Link not being the HoT makes time split? Kind of like, how Ganon's death (even though he was never actually killed in FSA) in both timelines result in a merge? ALttP happening causes a merge? FSA creates another split why? PH creates another split why? Link saving Termina causes X splits resulting in X different timelines that all get destroyed? For what reason is this important?

I swear to Xenu, I've seen so many ideas of reasons for splitting and merging, it's not even fun. Like that dude who once said the timelines merges after WW, and justified it with "I don't like the split timeline theory."

Oh, and who made that theory when the timeline splits first after OoT, then after tMC, then after the Oracles and then after FSA, which joined timeline with OoT for some goddamn reason?

The OoT Split is accounted for, there is a reason for assuming it exists, the games work with two ending of OoT and everything makes sense. Letting FSA split into MM which also follows OoT does not! I hate it when people split and merge just for the sake of it, not even trying to make sense of it. It's like "okay, let's spice this up by throwing a split after tMC, then maybe a merge after MM and then split again in LoZ, because Ganon doesn't have a Trident, then let that merge with pre-OoT and SC2 and make Tingle Link's father...

This has been called Zelda: Serious Business for a reason, not Zelda: Dowhateveryouwant Business.

I need the smiley from Xtreme.

[Skylark]

I don't undetstand why LoZ splits.. Could you explain that?
