As far as we know he have no confirmation on the timeline placement for Breath of the Wild. Although we have some clues I'll give out my two ideas. But first I'll talk about theories circulating online and why they may be wrong:
Probably wrong:
Taking place many years after Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks:
The theory is that many years after Spirit Tracks the Koroks managed to plant enough trees to absorb the Water and drain Hyrule successfully with Ganon either resurrecting or being reincarnated many years latter.
Problems:
-The Koroks could have existed in any timeline. Unlike what most people think Koroks are not an evolved form of Kokiri. The Kokiri can take on many forms so this doesn't prove much.
-The Master Sword can't be moved so after Ganon destroyed Hyrule Castle in OoT Zelda rebuilt the new castle on top of the Temple of Time.
-We saw no sings of Sheikah in this timeline especially when the Royal Family needed the most
Taking place before the flood in Wind Waker:
Some people think this takes place before Hyrule was flooded.
Problems:
-According to the games no heroes existed in that time
-Hyrule Castle's placement doesn't match at all with the one with OoT and WW
Taking place before or after Zelda I and II:
With no real indicators people think it could be placed during those "empty" like regions of Hyrule.
Problems:
-The Master Sword's Location in ALttP/ALBW indicates that the Temple of Time was completely destroyed
Taking place around the time of the Imprisoning War:
So after Link died he was resurrected 100 years latter to help imprison Ganon.
Problems:
-Link in OoT is left handed and has blond hair.
-Ganon was never sealed in Hyrule Castle he was sealed twice in the Sacred Realm.
-Ganon destroyed Hyrule Castle in OoT so it would have to be shortly built before he was sealed which is impossible
-The Master Sword is not in the Temple of Time which is in the correct spot in ALttP/ALBW
Taking place before Twilight Princess:
Problems:
-Ganon was in Arbiter Grounds
My theories:
Taking place after Twilight Princess:
Basically this would mean it's not the same Link as in TP who was revived, Ganon was resurrected/reincarnated, the Master Sword this Time changed location for once. This seems over complicated.
or
Taking place after Skyward Sword in an alternated fashion:
True Ganon never existed before OoT but what if Ganon time traveled? What if after SS Link was laid to rest for a 100 years. This would explain Link being right handed and having the same hair. The technology would make sense and also why the Temple of Time looks the same as it did in OoT
Plus this would explain Mat Pat's Game Theory video on the Declined Timeline not being a timeline. What if at the end of Zelda II Ganon was sent back in time which created the Adult Timeline.
This is similar to the first part of this theory I made: http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/threads/debunking-the-game-theorists-timeline-theory.56099/
