The Ocarina of Time's Time Paradox TheoryAs we all know, in Ocarina of Time, (Spoiler for anyone who HASNT beaten OoT yet) Zelda sends Link back in time with the Ocarina of Time so Link can relive his childhood that Zelda took away from him (because he was kept in the Temple of Light for 7 years). And by her sending Link back, creates the time paradox I am writing about. Basically, there are 2 different timelines with this. First, I'll start with the Child Link timeline.
So, Link is sent back in time, and now all that has happened (AKa: the Imprisoning War), is now over. Link then goes to Zelda to warn her about Ganondorf's evil plans (which is shown by the ending screen of OoT), and Ganondorf is stopped. Ganondorf is then sent to the excution grounds, where the Sages attempt to kill him, but is unsucessful. Thus, they banish Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm. Meanwhile, Link searches for Navi, who left him at the end of OoT. Eventually, he is attacked by Skull Kid, starting the events in Majora's Mask. MM has nothing really that would alter the timeline in anyway, but some of his weapons to come back in later games. (you'll see in a bit.) Centuries later, another hero is supposed to stop the evil that has befallen on Hyrule, thus being the time of Twilight Princess. Eventually, you'll meet a character, the Heroes Shade (in my story "Dark Link's Rising", i nickname him "Annju", a name from MM), this character teaches you the 8 "hidden skills". The Heroes Shade looks much like a Stalfos. He also has the Gilded sword from MM and the Mirror shield from MM. I believe that when the Link from OoT/MM went out searching for Navi after defeating Majora, he died in the Lost Woods (when a Hylian enters the lost woods, they die if they become lost). And also, the last words he speaks to you is "...do not falter, my child". Most believe that he's calling the Link from TP "child" as in his student. But i belive that the Heroes Shade is referring to TP Link as his SON. This makes sense, but i believe The Heroes Shade is more like the Great Great Grandfather of TP Link. And i believe the mother/great great grandmother was Malon from Lon Lon Ranch. Why? Because she worked at a ranch, and the Link from TP is a rancher. And TP Link also has Epona. It makes sense. Then, Ganondorf the human is killed, but the monster Ganon is still alive. Centuries after Twilight Princess, Four Swords Adventures (FSA) begins, in which Ganon is revived and so is Vaati. Ganon is then killed and is sealed in the Four Sword. This now ends the child timeline.
The adult timeline! Yay!
In the adult timeline, OoT Link seals Ganondorf away in the Sacred Realm. Centuries later, Ganondorf breaks from his seal. And to stop Ganondorf from taking over Hyrule, and since there is no hero to stop him, the three godesses -Farore, Nayru, and Din- flood all of Hyrule. This then starts the events of the Wind Waker. Link defeats Ganondorf, the Master Sword has turned Ganondorf into stone, and drowns in the depths of the Great Sea, killing Ganondorf forever. Later, Phanthom Hourglass begins. This being the direct sequel to WW. Eventually, we get to Spirit Tracks, which then ends the Adult Timeline.
Thank you for reading my theory of the Ocarina of Time Time Paradox. I will be posting other Zelda theories every so often. Thanks for reading.
I sent Hylian Hobbit a message about what I meant. Thanks for posting that so others understand.
