Topic: The Zelda timeline is a thing

So...spoilers...

-If Zelda's powers are from the Goddess Hylia, what's the the Light Force thing from Minish Cap. It came from the Minish. Did the Minish create the goddess? Did they help hide her within the neverending generations of Zeldas? Was it a sacrifice of some sort? I like that idea personally but it would be severe amounts of wtf? And if the Goddess Hylia isn't a consistent answer to the powers of later Zeldas, what are those powers? The powers of being in the title?
-If Ganondorf is some reincarnation/somehow got the powers of Demise...well how did he get the powers in the latter case? Did he find some bizarre remain or did what remained of Demise find him? Did he become evil because of it or was he always? Again, if none of that affects later games, why bother with a vague "there must always be evil as long as there is good" speech that no one would care about beyond hinting at Ganon?
-Why are there only two times where peahats decided to be peaceful (Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword) and not between those two times? Did they have a peace treaty with Hyrule (or NotYetHyrule in the case of Skyward Sword)? Do random enemies have peace treaties? I thought they were evil from a chest Vaati found and dissappeared after the fact.
-Why are monsters clearly just creatures that happen to be in this world, except for Minish Cap where they are evil creatures in a treasure chest that will dissappear/become extinct magically after Zelda wishes it? Ignoring how cruel that sounds, how did they come back every time? Is Ganondorf just a jerk who brings monsters back everytime and it always works? Wouldn't Hyrule guards...guard that? Hyrule has been at relative peace when monsters were around like child Link part of OOT. Was the first part of Ganondorf's plan opening that chest before OOT's story even begins?
-So basically Deku Scrubs evolved from Octorocks? ...actually that's clever, especially since only the former speak english...er...hylian. Whatever.
-Why are the Faron, Eldin and Lanayru areas named in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword and never in any games between them? Conveniently forgot I guess? Did scholars only rediscover this much later? Did a king of Hyrule just hate the names and banned them until whoever is the king that we never see in Twilight Princess changed that again?
-How void is the point of Minish Cap once you realize Link's hat is not only in Skyward Sword but is a common uniform? So it just confirms that Link's hat is usually a complete coincidence, especially in the older games (older games in terms of release date, not chronologically). Otherwise, how do you explain about how Ezlo happens to turn into a Link hat? What, did Vaati plan this and know Link was gonna interrupt? Just as planned.
-Things that will never happen: the game where Ganon returns and Hyrule is flooded part of the timeline and seeing what happens in Castlevania in 1999.
-How come the farther back in time we go, the more modern technology we see in Zelda? It's like the worst thought out steampunk series ever made, except not steampunk.
-How come we never see the Ooca in Skyward Sword if they are the people of the sky? Did they just vanish?
-The Kikwi were awful and wasted your time.
-Zoras stop existing in OOT after 7 years. Awkward extinction, awkward evolution thanks to Wind Waker.
-Why is Linebeck the 3rd a thing? I know the PH ending but why is a dream suddenly an alternate reality that he and apparently others were from if they exist in the normal universe? And is it the same alternate universe as Majora's Mask? If not, how does one begin to understand Linebeck the 3rd and how he can exist?
-I don't even want to go into the theory that in both "Link doesn't die at the end of OOT" timelines (I like that 3rd timeline believe it or not, hilariously turns the old games into just a what-if scenerio) that Ganondorf is now stuck in the Sacred Realm in both adult and child timelines. There's a surprising amount of logic (...maybe) in the Ganondorf execution scene from Twilight Princess that apparently happens while Link was in Termina., I don't want to ruin that.
-The Kikwi were awful and wasted your time.
-General changes in Hyrule. Hyrule can not be stable considering how often the areas change. Just the Lost Woods, Hyrule Castle Town, Kakariko and Death Mountain alone and where they are in each game is basically impossible. Now, Hyrule Castle town has some logic as early in the timeline it's very north but after OOT it moves to the center of Hyrule...but apparently the town itself is gone in LTTP. But timeline differences...ok. But how does the Lost Woods suddenly go from far away from Kakariko to just north of it?
-Wind Waker and Twilight Princess apparently both take place 100 years after OOT, depending on the child and adult timeline of course. Did the Gods who flooded Hyrule decide to suddenly turn the Zoras into the Rito? I mean I guess that's what happened with the Kokiri. So did everyone forget about Hyrule that quickly? I mean, it's still not as bad as people forgetting about the Gods in Okamiden after 9 months but still. Hell, if we assume Ganon didn't return ASAP after OOT, we can reasonably assume some people were actually alive in Wind Waker that saw the flooding. Was this some magical Hylian God memory erasing? A wizard didn't do it(Wizrobe?), a Hylian God did.
-Skyloft is remembered as a thing right?
-Link was destined to survive all those times hitting a wall going 100 miles per hour in Wind Waker right?
-do I even want to go into the 2 Oracle games' secret ending?
-The Kikwi are awful.
-Ganondorf's redecorating of Hyrule Castle is too silly for words.
-At least this thread makes the connections from OOT to MM, WW and TP look more brilliant. Which they are in some ways.
-KIRBY IS AN ENEMY IN LINK'S AWAKENING
-I JUST REALIZED WART WAS IN LINK'S AWAKENING HOLY CRAP. DO YOU REMEMBER HOW SMB2 ENDED? That's pretty brilliant.
-Crossbow Training.
