Spoiler Alert! This article describes a subject that is sensitive to plot development. |
The Split Timeline Theory was speculated among fans immediately following the release of Ocarina of Time. After finishing the game the player might notice that there are actually two endings, One ending where Zelda sends Link back in time and they stop Ganondorf from rising to power. The other one being where Zelda stays in the future, This is the alternate reality where Link has been sent back but Ganondorf still remains imprisoned within the Sacred Realm. The former being the Child Timeline where Link gets sent back to his original time becoming a child and continuing his adventure, This leaves the future without a Link springing a chain of events that are known as the Adult Timeline.
