i highly doubt this is true at all and im sure many of you will completely think its dumb to think about but i just randomly thought about it so i thought i would post what i was thinking about.
what if there is a split timeline after MM? if you think about it, MM has two possible outcomes to the game.
either you stop Majora and save Termina and ultimately return back to Hyrule
or
you dont stop Majora, the moon crashes into Termina, Link dies and never goes back to Hyrule.
now i know that when the moon crashes it is technically just a game over but doesnt it have its own cutscene and everything? dying leads to a game over in every zelda game, but this is a cannon ending to the game regardless of it being a game over. either you save Termina or you dont. wouldnt this lead to a split especially since the game deals with time travel?
and what if TP takes place 100 years after the timeline where Termina is destroyed? the twilight realm could be the remains of Termina and the 4 light spirits that try to execute ganondorf could be the spirits of the 4 giants from Termina.
and then every other game in the child timeline would take place after the timeline where Link saves Termina.
i know this is a stretch. i dont even believe it myself am i just thinking out loud. what does everyone think?
