So I've been trying to fit loz/Aol on the timeline for quite some time, and here is what I found
FACT: Ganon is present in loz
FACT: Ganon is dead in Aol
FACT: Ganon can be revived using links blood
FACT: AoL is the first time the triforce of courage is used since the first princess zelda
FACT: the triforce of courage is used in OOT, TP and WW
FACT: Ganon is dead in Aol
FACT: Ganon can be revived using links blood
FACT: AoL is the first time the triforce of courage is used since the first princess zelda
FACT: the triforce of courage is used in OOT, TP and WW
My first theory was that AoL happened on the Adult timeline, with Oot Zelda being the first Zelda, that was because the triforce of courage was used in Oot and WW so the story had to be in between the two, but, in the backstory of WW, there are told about the hero who saved hyrule from Ganon using timetraveling, and then no hero returning, so loz/Aol can not fit in here because if link kills ganon in loz, there will be no need to flood Hyrule
My next guess was on the child-timeline, still guessing that Zelda from Oot was the first Zelda, taking place before TP because the triforce of courage is present in both Oot and TP, but this time around, the BS of TP tells that Ganondorf was attempted to be killed, but instead got sealed in the twilight realm. There would be no need to excecute ganondorf if he was already killed by loz/Aol link.
My third, and IMO best guess was that loz/Aol took place before Oot, ganon was killed in loz, the triforce of courage was regained in Aol.
the next part is wild guessing, but here goes nothing; After regaining the whole triforce to the royal family, the triforce was placed in the sacred realm, and the temple of time and door of time was built to protect it. Later on, link was killed by the evil forces of ganon, and his blood was spread on the ashes, Ganon, who no longer had the triforce of power, was reborn as a gerudo, and took the name ganondorf.

The "link being killed, ganon revived" thing could be used on both sides of the timeline, but then the events of Oot would have to happen twice on both timelines
I am sure that there are thousand of flaws to this theory, but placing loz/Aol before Oot felt like the least contradicting thing to do.
discuss!
