" 1. Link pulls the master sword and goes 7 years into the future. The present, however, is now without Link. Ganon takes over but gets locked into the dark world by the 7 sages. ALttP starts.
2. Timeline 1 is without Link, because he left to the future. He defeated Ganon and returns to his past, which isnt the same as timeline 1. Instead, an alternate universe has opened. This is what timetravel does. So Link is in the same time in an alternate universe and begins his adventure of MM.
3. Link defeated Ganon at the end of OOT and returns to his past (timeline 2). The future is now without Link. Ganon returns, but there is no Link. To save Hyrule, it gets flooded. Next game would be WW.
Long story short, don't go time traveling"
its an easy idea to comprehend, just deal with it
yeah except 1 and 3 aren't different timelines in this model, they are part of the same sequence
link pulls the master sword, ganon takes over while hes gone, link comes back and locks away ganon, link leaves
