Child Timeline - Link defeats Ganon in OoT, gets sent back in time to stop him before he can gain the Triforce of Power. Does so, goes off to Termina (and TP and FSA follow).
Adult Timeline - Link defeats Ganon in OoT, gets sent back in time to stop him before he can gain the Triforce of Power. Since Link is gone, when Ganon breaks out of his sealing, nobody can stop him and the gods flood Hyrule leading to Wind Waker (and PH and ST).

All Links failed Timeline - CDi Zelda begins
Split timeline. All Links failed Timeline - CDi Zelda begins CDi Link Failed Timeline- Well Excuuuuuuuuse me Princess

Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.
You do know that the timeline isn't real right? Stop wasting your time and get back to playing Skyrim
For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. [url=http://www.backloggery.com/jumpmad]Unive...
Speaking of Skyrim: Why are so many people complaining about the PS3 version having bugs, yet they never mention the Xbox 360 version? It's the same game on both systems, right? Shouldn't the Xbox 360 version have the same bugs and glitches?
Nintendo just had to make it even more confusing...
I bet no one here considered the "Link fails in Ocarina of Time" bit.
Because it's bullcrap, lol, that's why it was never considered, not only is it wrong, it logistically makes no SENSE
It makes tons of sense.
From my interpretation, the backstory of A Link to the Past suddenly makes very clear sense--Ganondorf gets the Triforce, but is not confronted by Link. He is instead sealed by the knights and the sages sans Link. An Ocarina of Time, but basically without Link, segues very, very nicely into A Link to the Past, much better than anything that has been posited before it (much better than Four Swords Adventures, which has nothing going for it but a similar looking Hyrule and stuff revolving around the Palace of the Four Sword which has dubious canonicity). I've always hated the idea that the Imprisoning War was some nebulous event that just so happened to closely resemble Ocarina of Time's events.
WAT!

Find me where it says that it's wrong and I'll believe you.

Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a little faster?!
Figures that if Link fails OoT he has to beat zelda 2 a.k.a. the hardest zelda in history.
The only real fail here is these people who think that the timeline is real

that video sums up the thread perfectly. Like what I'm thinking is people DYING and "you fail" music for every "I disagree, therefore official canon is wrong" post over and over again.
still don't get the Twilight Princess > FSA thing though. I could MAYBE believe it was after LTTP instead of the original Four Swords because of the blatant similarities but after Twilight Princess is just odd.
I still want to figure out what happened to the Temple of Time between OOT and TP. I think only 100 years passed so...?

While the 360 and PC versions also have bugs, Bethesda is infamous for doing terrible PS3 ports. I don't think New Vegas was ever fixed.
I thought most multiplatform (PC, Xbox 360, and PS3) games were developed simultaneously. It would make things so much easier if all versions were developed at the same time. Porting takes extra effort and resources.
StarFox and Mario was in OoT too Where do they fit in the timeline?

Super Mario 64 obviously takes place before OoT, since there would be no other reason for Hyrule Castle to have a picture of Mario in the window. Fox was in Kokiri Forest practicing his Arwing flying when Link suddenly attacked him with his sword.

I bet no one here considered the "Link fails in Ocarina of Time" bit.
Because it's bullcrap, lol, that's why it was never considered, not only is it wrong, it logistically makes no SENSE
BAM!! Does it make sense now?
No, it never made logical sense, if there was a separate timeline for every possible game over, then the timeline would be even more of a convoluted mess.
Second, there is no logical way for there to be OoT WITHOUT Link, I'm pretty sure there's only two endings to that game, A: Ganondorf is sealed in the past, and B: Ganondorf is sealed in the present, there is no 'fail' end to the story, it does NOT fit with ALttP, (as four swords adventure better explains the imprisoning war than OoT), I simply cannot see the logic or validity in such a timeline, there are TWO timelines, plain and simple, NOT three, and until miyamoto says otherwise that's what I'm standing by

Its more of a Hypothetical Timeline. Due to the curse (or blessing) There cannot be link with out evil. So Everything Up intill the Final Battle of OTT still happens. Link Awakens the Sages and Ganondorf becomes Ganon. Instead Link is killed by Gannon and fails. This causes the Knights of Hyrule and the Sages to seal Ganon away. This becomes know as the imprisoning wars.
What Leads Credence to this was that Retro pitched a Shiek Game that took place in the OOT timeframe. The way Zelda gets kidnapped the game wouln't have made sense in any other context but Link failing and shiek/Zelda having too step in.
The Only somewhat plot detail is what happens to the Master Sword and how it gets too the Lost woods.
WAT!
