The first one I don't really believe anymore.
The second one, I'm working on still.

wait hold up
who agrees this
this piece of evidence that I've seen multiple times has always felt fairly ambiguous to meFor one thing, Link and Zelda don't know eachother.

わたしの なは ゼルダ あなたが リンクですね ひとめ見れば わかります
My name is Zelda. You must be Link. After taking one look at you, I knew.
Link is dead in MM.
BotW is in the linear timeline, after Zelda 2.
Even ignoring the official timeline, a linear timeline doesn't work. You are correct in saying that Breath of the Wild is after Zelda 2, however.
The Link from ALttP and the Oracle games are the same Link, known as the Hero of Legend. I don't really care what order you put LA compared to the Oracle games; I just prefer to make LA a sequel because of the boat, and because of the various figures that appear in the Wind Fish's dream that Link would not have previously met if not for the Oracle games (such as Marin and Tarin being surrogates for Malon and Talon
Unlikely. Oracles Link has a Triforce birthmark, he doesn't know Zelda, he has to be tested by the Triforce, and he doesn't become a hero until the end of the game.
''hero of legend'' doesn't mean much, either. It's also the title used for other heroes, such as the hero who seals Ganon in the backstory of A Link Between Worlds, and it's even used to refer to the Hero of Time in Breath of the Wild. That title is just a generic title that can be used for any old hero and not their actual official title, proven by the fact that it's used to refer to multiple heroes(including one who already has an official title in the case of the BotW example above), and that the first letters are lowercase as opposed to Hero of Time, Hero of Winds, etc.
Since LA has the same Link from ALttP, methinks that Marin is supposed to be a ''dream version'' of Zelda(as implied from the start of the game), and Tarin is a counterpart to Uncle; he certainly looks the part.
One that I'm quite fond of is the theory that most games (sequels notwithstanding) are all retellings of the same legend, to account for any inconsistencies as well as the overall similarities found between most of the games' stories.
Chevy is correct about Tetra's multiple personality thing. At the very least, she is performing a personality when she transforms into Zelda because in PH, Tetra doesn't like to be associated with "Zelda." And yet when she landed in New Hyrule, she was suddenly OK with being called Zelda. There's a lot more going on there than meets the eye.
A switch in personality is far more common than most people give credit for. It is a well documented phenomenon that people will regularly change their personalities when found in different situations. When Tetra is presented with undeniable proof that she is Zelda, and that particular responsibilities are on her shoulders, it is expected that her personality would shift. It is a one time switch. She doesn't have conversations with herself. There is no indication of voice change. There is no memory loss. DID is not a good fit.Mayo Clinic said:Dissociative identity disorder. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by "switching" to alternate identities. You may feel the presence of two or more people talking or living inside your head, and you may feel as though you're possessed by other identities. Each identity may have a unique name, personal history and characteristics, including obvious differences in voice, gender, mannerisms and even such physical qualities as the need for eyeglasses. There also are differences in how familiar each identity is with the others. People with dissociative identity disorder typically also have dissociative amnesia and often have dissociative fugue.

Not completely. While I agree that they deserve more consideration, and they fill in a lot of holes; there are too many contradictions to be accepted whole cloth.Zelda cartoon, comics mangas deserve to be canon
there are obscure novels and manga that can fit wellNot completely. While I agree that they deserve more consideration, and they fill in a lot of holes; there are too many contradictions to be accepted whole cloth.
