you male a good point. I think that you theory also would work.Uhmmm TRIFORCE...... A person of light ( Zelda) a person of darkness( Ganondorf) and a person to balance the opposites sides (Link)

I believe that Zelda sent Link back to the time right after Ganondorf had touched the Triforce. I believe that the pieces of the Triforce act sort of like a medication, in which they take time to adjust to the bearer's body, which would explain why Ganondorf's didn't activate until his execution.

"In practical terms, at the end of Ocarina of Time Link departs from the world where he defeated Ganon. This may be christened the adult timeline, which eventually forms the backbone of Wind Waker. However, by going back in time a new timeline is spun off. In this timeline Link never opens the door to the Sacred Realm, and Ganon never touches the Triforce. He is eventually caught and executed, and this timeline becomes Twilight Princess. This works because of the intended consequences."
You just believe this "split timeline" crap because you don't want Hyrule to disappear as it did in TWW (which is the last game in the timeline, not counting PH).
I've been told that lots of fans just gave up on a single timeline because they couldn't make it work. Well guess what, it CAN, and I don't give up so easily. The series is incomplete, and this whole "split timeline" thing is just an excuse to make a complete timeline before all of the games(stories) are made. You guys are just impatient.
This developer quote (thanks to Zeruda) disagrees with that theory.
Actually, we believe it because the guy who actually makes the games tells us. Split timeline is a fact.
I've read just about every one of your posts, and have read every one that has had to do with a timeline theory, and not one single time in over 100 posts have you successfully made a linear timeline work.
Why would Miyamoto and Aonuma lie? Just for laughs? Last time I checked, they took the series pretty seriously. I mean, it's a project that is over 20 years old and the story is STILL progressing and being worked on. You think they are just going to make random junk up?People lie all the time! This could (and probably) be no different!

Zelda started out with no intentions of a timeline AT ALL. Then the timeline came into effect when OoT was said to be the prequel to the games. Of course, common sense told us that OoT's ending called for a split timeline. Some people didn't believe it (why, I don't know). THEN, the split was confirmed, and those who didn't believe it before finally understood.
It's cool to have fan ideas and whatnot, but there are just some things that are deemed canon, and this timeline thing that you refuse to accept is one of them. It's not your decision, and it's not mine. It's the owners'. If the series was your own, you could decide what is and isn't canon, but that's just not how it is. What the owners say is canon IS CANON. Even if you found a way to work all the games into one timeline, it wouldn't be correct- it'd just be another fan timeline, and what the owners have deemed canon will be what is true.
It's okay to not want to accept it, but you have to realize that it is canon. Some parts of the series are not our choice.
According to my beliefs, they're lying to us to hide the truth. You see, I believe in the stories of these games. And my belief tells me that a split timeline just cannot work, in anyway whatsoever. I believe they're not telling us that these stories were true to protect us from another war breaking out. Yeah, I know what your thinking, I'm a loon.
You want to see a single timeline work, I'LL MAKE IT WORK, JUST YOU WATCH ME! I'll need some time though, but I WILL make it work, just wait and see!!!
But once again, I ask you, HOW DOES THE TRIFORCE SPLIT APART!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
As mentioned in OoT, the Triforce can only seperate if one with an unbalanced heart touches it. If the Triforce is untouched when Link goes back in time, HOW DOES IT SPLIT?!
And I wouldn't put too much weight on what the sages say. They are speaking from a biased, and decidedly uninformed point of view. They didn't know that Ganon held the ToP even though he held it for several years in the original timeline. Even Link knew that.
Gotta remember, though, that the sages didn't execute and banish him to the Twilight Realm until several years after OoT!Link was sent back to his own time. Meaning, it'd have been years and years after MM. So, there's a period of several years between Link being sent back to his childhood and Ganondorf being executed. Something (I have no idea what, exactly) could have happened in those years to cause the Triforce to break. SOMEBODY with an unbalanced heart probably had to touch it, seeing that Ganondorf was in possession of the ToP during his execution (it can be seen on his hand in the cutscene).He never held it during that period in TP, so the information they talk about is actually as informed as anyone else knows at that point (if you are referring to TP that is). Since he never went through the Sacred Realm on the CT, he never acquired it there. The seven years that he was taking over Hyrule on the AT, he spent imprisoned on the CT.
In the long fanfic I'm working on... the idea that my co-writer and I came up with was that the Chosen Triforce Wielders thing are a bet between the Goddesses, because they got bored. They're watching through endless cycles to see which core attribute wins out over the others, via the souls attatched to the respective Triforce fragments.
The more I think about it, the more I like our fanfic idea of a grand Goddess Bet being a possibility for canon. Think about it - it's like a three-piece game of Chess or something. The only glitch in it is that Wisdom and Courage always wind up working together and helping each other rather than either of the two trying to win out over the other.
