Today at school I was wondering why the "offizial" Timeline looks like it does. First it seemed very strange to me, that Nintendo decided to give the ALttP/OoX/LA-LoZ/AoL-Part the status of "only" a what-if-scenario but after thinking about it I knew why.
Look at most the timelines we have here in the forums and especially look at the games that have ganon in them. No matter which timeline you take. it will end mit Ganon being stabed in the forhead, turnt to stone and leaved at the bottom of the sea or being stabed in the chest and losing the ToP or with him being burnt to ashes. Doesn't matter which timeline you pick, Ganon will be dead in every one on every side of the split and every try to revive him has failed. This means Nintendo can't bring him back in one of their next Zelda-games.
But now look at their timeline. The child timeline ends with FSA. In this game Ganon is only sealed in the Four Sword. He is alive! This gives Nintendo the possibility to bring him back. This was only possible with the moving of ALttP and it's sequels.
But this could mean that this timeline isn't the "real" Zelda-timeline. It's just a trick of Nintendo, so they don't have to creat new villians like they did with their last 3 games. Instead they now can use good old Ganon over and over.
And by the way, the placing of TMC and FS prior to OoT gives them the possibility to bring Vaati back in the adult timeline as well as in the what-if-timeline.
Pleas tell me what you think.
