Split timeline? Maybe not.

I just realized something!! If all Links are (as-de)cendants of eachother, what about OoT? I still Support the split timeline theory, as this is probably just an inconsistency, but the links in the WW timeline couldn't be related to OoT's Link! This is probably the smartest thing i've ever come up with on the forums!

The King of Red Lions said that WW Link is NOT a descendant of OoT Link, but Ganondorf says he is a reincarnation, bearing in mind that Ganondorf does not know that Link was sent back in time, and thus creating the Child timeline.

I see the use of "reincarnation" more as a second coming of the Hero of Time. As this new Link has the master sword and is trying to foil Ganondorf's plans again.

Well reincarnation dosn't really have to involve blood relation. It is much more about spiritual connections.
The KorL says that WW Link is not related to the hero of time, and Ganondorf says that WW Link is an reincarnation of the Hero of Time. Those two statement don't have to contradict each other (assuming that the KorL talks about blood relation).
But you get sympathy points for using the sience smilie!

Not to start with, first off he's trying to save his brat of a sister who gives him a present, that he can't keep! He's lazy though, like HoT, but he takes the Master Sword and it doesn't age him 7 years, but that could be because it is weakened, and it is not in the pedestal of time. (that and WW Link is the Hero of Winds, not Time, so maybe he should have taken it from the pedestal of winds... time travel, its the definition of confusing concepts, as is logic, well, my logic anyway

Oh. I once had WW.... But I broke it . I'm gettin' a new one today. But cool, I didn't know that. Thx.

Links being related and/or reincarnated is pretty much just a theory. It's not valid timeline proof.

ww link is the reincarnation of the hero of time, not his desendant.
Tp link is the desendant of the hero of time.

He can't technically even be a literal re-incarnation.
OoT Link left that timeline, and died in the Child Timeline.

we dont know how the reincaration works.
Maybe his spirit split in the timetravel, survive in both timelines.

^ Maybe... I get confused when I think about these types of issues.

Well Ganondorf did mention that Link was the hero of time, reborn. But is he really the same Link? I don't really know, only that he is a reincarnated Link. Perhaps the goddesses needed him back in order to fight the evil that was coming out of the ocean and Hyrule once again. But being the reincarnated Link, I don't think that he follows OoT Link's blood. In other words, they are family that belong in the same family tree.

I'm not really sure myself.

I thought that meant WW was OOT Link's "spiritual sucessor"

TWW Link is thought to be the reincarnation of the HoT. It's not a fact.

That's ridiculous IMO.
