I have little basis for this. I was hoping some of you could fill in the gaps.
Hyrule, especially the Sages, did do a whole entire war against Ganondorf in the CT, since it took several years to get to the point of executing him. This could have been the Imprisoning War from ALttP's backstory.
We don't see Link (Time) in the fight against Ganondorf in the CT, it could be possible that is because in one timeline, he died leading the war, resulting in GD being sealed in the Sacred Realm, and in the other, he lived, but had to be pulled from the war because he was seriously injured, to prevent GD from getting the ToC (end of OoT, post credits, shows CT Link with the ToC on his hand, so he has it).
Since Link (Time) is shown to straight up be missing an eye as the Hero's Spirit in TP, the potential death blow could have been that, and in the DT, it was more impactful or something, thus killing him.
The Sages of TP (the same ones in the war I'm theorizing that could be the Imprisoning War from ALttP backstory) are all men, which is exactly how they were described in ALttP.
Bonus points that might not fit as neatly.
Termina might be responsible for this. The Owl says Termina is both destined to be saved and destroyed. But divine intervention (Tatl asked the Goddess of Time for help as Link is playing the magic Song of Time) is allowing Link to rewind time while keeping his memories and some equipment, so it isn't a case of each time Link rewinds time, the previous version still exists somehow.
So how could Termina be saved and destroyed, if the end result is it being solely saved?
AT? Can't be. Skull Kid never put on MM, as he is still alive after the 7 year gap. This means Termina wasn't threatened by MM.
So that just leaves the DT, and would you look at that. Ravio has MM in ALBW. What if time travel occured in Lorule, just as it did in Hyrule, causing a CT/DT split?
