Is there enough tangible evidence to suggest multiple timelines before the split in OOT?

only the weird bootstrap paradoxes in skyward sword (as well as the references to an even more distant past)
No.
I mean they exist as much as anything else that would result in a split, we just don't see any of it
Hence the "Evidence question"?

Yes, the killing of Demise in the past and the presence of Demise in the present suggests a split timeline.
Unless your a priori assumption is that the timeline is linear, and then there are two logic leaps (Impa hid the Master Sword and the Imprisoned was residual malice which is suggested by the new Sealing Spike).
There's also the Oracle of Ages-like Tree of Life situation.
There is also the Minish Cap alternative ending and the Four Sword in Ganon's Pyramid in A Link to the Past.
Where do you suppose the Master Swords Locations are (yes indeed plural) Between "Skyward Sword" and "Ocarina of time?"
The term "Imprisoned" suggests he "has" (past tense) been imprisoned,
Who else do we know has been imprisoned by this point in Timeline Lore?..
the following is a link simplifying the "2 Master Swords Paradox"- Canon.

"The 2 Master Sword Paradox" (Canon) "A simple solution to the time paradox of the Master Swords." "Breath of the wild" & "Tears of the Kingdom", Are indeed intertwined within the same time line. #(Lets use the "Naturally Occurring Master Sword" as our "Datum Point") For the "Master Sword"...
