    I liked the theory that each one was just in the distant future from each other (like thousands or millions of years maybe). It’s interesting that there’s an actual lore between games, especially that the original Zelda is from a timeline where OoT Link loses, and I guess kid OoT Link and adult OoT Link have different timelines.

      Isn’t windwaker following the adult timeline and twilight princess the kid one but both where Link succeeds?

      Guess it kinda makes sense if you think about it as a split at the end of oot? Idk, timeline is wild and I never thought about it too much.

        So is it like, save everyone as a kid, save everyone as an adult, and total failure? How does OoT end? Do you beat Ganondorf in the future and the past?

          Afaik the timeline after beating the game splits, the adult timeline carries on from there and then the child timeline carries on as if Gannondorf never took over in the first place
