When it first came out, Ocarina of Time was undoubtly created as a prequel to A Link to the Past. Then Wind Waker came out as a sequel to Ocarina of Time. So when did ALttP happened in relation to WW?
This is one of the major problems that pops out while making a timeline. People tried answering in many ways...
Somebody tried saying ALttP happened after WW, but it is quite impossible the return of the Master Sword after it was left to Ganondorf...
It makes much more sense to place it between OoT and WW, in fact we know that something happened between the two games anyway! WW's intro says that ganon was defeated, then returned, then sealed again... If they wanted to make WW happen right after OoT, they would have made him sealed in Sacred Realm in the beginning! But still there's something wrong... The Triforce is splitted in WW, but united in ALttP... Also the intro says there was no hero when Ganon returned, but we know there have been at least one hero in the times of ALttP...
Many people around here say that ALTTP is in the Child Timeline, but this makes very little sense to me, because that game's backstory says that Ganondorf became Ganon after stealing the Triforce from the Sacred Realm, and then he was sealed there by the seven sages... This happened in the Adult Timeline! You may say that it also happened it the Child Timeline, but we have no proof of it! You're basically saying that the Imprisoning War also happened in the Child Timeline because you want to place ALttP there, since it doesn't seem to fit in the Adult Timeline...
What I think happened at Nintendo is that they made OoT a prequel to ALttP, but then changed some story elements, to make it better... Then made WW as the actual sequel of the corrected events.
So ALttP happens after the original idea of OoT, a story that's a little different than the game we played... The timeline splits again!

A Link to the Past is basically a "What If" story!
It tells the events of what whould have happen if Link didn't travel 7 years back in time at the end of OoT! He created a descendant, the new Link who stopped Ganon from escaping the Sacred Realm! So WW intro has a new meaning: in that timeline Ganon did the same things he does in ALttP, but there's no Link to stop him, so he's able to escape!
We may also say that in this alternate OoT Ganon got all the three pieces of the Triforce, so that's why he seem to have it all in ALttP (but hey, to me he doesn't, it was splitted but nobody knew it)
What do you guys think?
