This is a Theory I've been thinking about for a while, but I wasn't completely sure whether to put it here or in the Timeline section, as it relates to both.
So in Twilight Princess we learned that in the CT, after Ganondorf's plot was revealed, he was sentenced to be executed. When the sages tried to kill him at Arbiter's Grounds, they were unable to because of some "divine prank" in which he was given the power of the gods, the Triforce of Power. What I didn't understand is why the Triforce was broken at all at this point.
Part of this hinges on exactly when one believes Link was sent back to at the end of OoT. The door of time is open, and yet we then see him visit Zelda, still in her garden, meaning it's prior to Ganondorf's invasion of the castle. So if Ganondorf in the CT never entered the sacred realm and broke the Triforce, why do Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf have their respective pieces in TP?
My theory is that the Triforce transcends time, by which I mean, what happens to it in the Adult Timeline affects the Child Timeline, and vice versa. The timeline split was, after all, caused by Zelda and the Ocarina. She may have had the power to send Link back in time, but I feel like the Triforce is something that is way out of her control.
So at the time of Ganondorf's execution in the CT, the Great Cataclysm had just occurred in the AT. So Ganondorf of both timelines received the Triforce of Power. Link, who would have been in Termina at this time, wasn't there to receive his, so Courage simply waited around for the next Link, the one from TP. And whichever Zelda was alive at that point would have received Wisdom, probably passing it on through the royal family to the Zelda from TP.
I realize that this theory is a little out there. But the "Divine Prank" moment is one of the big moments of the series that I really don't understand, and I was just wondering what people thought about it.
