Okay, my timeline theory is relatively complete, I'm pretty sure, but it's still got many people I've shared it with calling me crazy. Please leave questions and comments. I'd be happy to share more idiocy with you.

OoT is first, Eiji Aonoma said so. I think we can trust him.
Then most of you would assume MM, right? No. MM never happened. Link was walking through the forest at the start of MM, right? What's there to eat in a forest that appears in many Zelda games? Mushrooms. If you eat the wrong ones what happens? You get high.
Now then, if you look at this game in comparison to Ocarina, there's obvious similarities. The two witches, Malon and Talon, almost all the characters you interact with in some way resemble a character in Ocarina. They say when you die, your life flashes back before your eyes. What would this look like if you were high? I think it'd look just like Majora's Mask. When Link fell at the start of the game, he died. Then his life flashed before his eyes while he was high. This was Link 1.
Link 2 came along slightly after this. In Ocarina of Time, I think that just before Link sent himself back in time, Link and Zelda got into a bed and... You know..... Then they went back in time, thinking nothing would screw up. Then, seven years later, Zelda got pregnant because she'd slept with Link in the future in the past. Um... I'm not sure I worded that quite right, but I think you get my drift.
Anyways, this was Link 2, the star of Twilight Princess. TP comes next because of the obvious geography similarities. There's plenty of differences as well, but we can let them slide.
After that, Link's family eventually comes out to Link 3 and 4. 3 is the star for Minish Cap and 4 for ALttP. These two are distant cousins who live in slightly different places.
These go here, of course, because WW mentions in the beginning somewhere before the Hero of Time and the game that's about to begin some sort of "Foul wind blowing." This is Minish Cap and LttP.
The Link of Minish Cap finishes his quest and goes back and lives happily ever after and all that jazz. Living happily ever after, this is where Link 1's family tree ends on this side.
Link 4, however, over in ALttP, is hopping between dimensions, and through this, I think he accidentally leaves some sort of crazy spiritual imprint on the dark world, but he still saves it, which creates an alternate reality. The Darkworld first, trying to understand this "Link" character creates Link 5, but the Darkworld is unsure of how to deal with him, so it sends him into another altirnate reality where he's in two places at once. This is the Oracle games right here. Eventually, the Darkworld understands more of who and what Link is, and it thrusts him headlong into another quest to save the world, 'cause that's what he does. It reunited him and himself that was split up in the Oracle games.
This is the same Link (Link 5) in LoZ and AoL.
Link 6-9 are also created, mostly just 6 though because as the Darkworld is putting Link in places he can help, it sticks him into position for Four Swords and later on FSA. So basically it splits him into two forms, one of which went through the Oracle games and one who didn't.
Then at some point, the Darkworld which my mind has twisted into some strange entity, being some entity, had to poop. This poop spawned yet another reality that we know as Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil. That's right, they're a poop of the Darkworld.
Now then, back to the first reality, all the Links from there are at their end, but several hundred or thousand years later, there was a new hero. Link 10. This Link starred in WW, PH, and then as he was sailing around the sea, his ship crashed in a storm and he fell off and landed on the shores of Link's Awakening.
To sum up in case you didn't get all that,
OoT
MM(Link's dead.)

And that's my crazy plotline.
