Well, I don't theorize, like, very often... and my theories are usually really strange and irrelevant...
But from what I have in my messed-up timeline, it does have the split... and I also have another split elsewhere on the timeline (well, kind of... it's not really a split in the "timeline", but in location: New Hyrule vs. Hyrule.)
But don't worry. You aren't the only linearist on ZD... I recall seeing a few users' timeline theories in their signatures be completely on a single timeline.
Attention to all linearlists. The split has been confirmed by Aonuma twice. In a WW interview, he said that OoT had two endings: and adult and child ending. In a TP interview, he said TP and WW "run parallel" to each other. Just thought I'd let you know that the split is very real.
Da'aww... How considerate of you, JJ~ =p I'm sure someone out there has matched the "Nintendo Official Timeline", but their explanations for it might be different. I say any timeline theory is a good one as long as you can support all of the placements you chose. Nintendo didn't consider a Zelda timeline when they first started making games, so their placements for the first few games were more forced into place.
So, linear or not, a theory is a theory. The definition of a theory is something along the lines of "a statement that explains something, but cannot be proven 100%".
But in Zelda, there's just so much information and quotes thrown around from gnats like me to "gods" like Miyamato and the creators that my head spins BEFORE I even consider where to begin.
