This is simply a way of complying all of the zelda games together. The best way to do it was offer an alternative that fit what would happen if Link did lose.
There's no point trying to defend the Historia timeline by stating that it's wrong. Either the hero was defeated, or the Historia is wrong and we shouldn't follow their timeline anyway.Someone posted a video about how the third timeline is based on link ceasing to exist more then being defeated.

No problem!
It seems like Link can come back as many times he wants! No, seriously: (SS spoiler)AlttP Link is also said to be a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule.We can use Demise's curse as the reason Link comes back over and over again.

It is, in theory, possible to think that there can be a new, "what if" ending, for every game: What if Link loses in AoL? What if Link loses in OoA, but not OoS? etc.
The story of the early DT seems to be like this:
(Future OoT)
Ganondorf defeats Link, takes the ToC. Ganondorf takes the ToW from Zelda. Ganondorf wishes upon the Triforce, the Dark World is created. Greedy people go to the Dark World. The Sages, and the Knights of Hyrule, seal Ganon without Link. (i.e. Seal War).
/Blue Window
basically, its just a hypothetical "what if" timeline. If link died then it would go on to that timeline, and it can't exist at the same time as the child and adult timelines.
The Timeline that is in the Hyrule Historia book has a 3rd split.I don't get it and alot of other people don't either.I always thought that Alttp had to go right after FSA because thats how Ganon gets the trident,and in Alttp Ganon has the trident.It makes no sense!!! The Hero dying part makes no sense all together,I really doubt that Oot link could really fail to defeat Ganondorf.The only way I can think of it is that it happens in a completly dirrerent deminsion.probally one were link is never born.That would make no sense,Link has to be born so he can open the door of time.Then it leaves only one option,in that alternate deminsion Ganondorf was in balance with himself and touched the triforce and got all three pieces.
Tell me what you all Think,I really don't understand this,I actually just think the 3rd split was nintendo's easy way out,and they just put it together with no real thought,or even better,this is not the real timeline,they just want us to believe it is.
