Any Good Linear Timelines?

[Luke's Wife]

I know most people support the "split timeline" theory (myself included) but I know there are people who believe the entire Zelda timeline is linear. If you have a decent linear timeline, post it here! I'm just curious because I've never really seen a linear timeline fully explained.

Simply curiosity ^^

I think the most common linear timeline you'd see is:

SS - OoT/MM - TP - WW/PH - ST - MC - FS/FSA - LttP/OoX/LA - LoZ/AoL

Obviously, TP coming between OoT and WW is a huge problem, but I've never seen a linearist able to reconcile that. In general, a linear timeline is essentially an AT-heavy timeline, with MM happening during OoT, and TP sometime afterward.

While the linear timeline is confirmed not to be, Locke's timeline is the one nearly-universally accepted. However, I've also seen this one floating around.

SS - MC - FS - OoT/MM - TP - WW/PH - ST - FSA - LttP/OoX/LA - LoZ/AoL

The Minish Cap is first because...

Why do people believe in linear timelines when a split is confirmed?

Some people are stubborn. Others are set in their ways. Some probably don't know the split is confirmed.

I'll say this again...I do not believe in the linear timeline, I was just curious as to how someone who did believe in it would explain it.
