Oct 12, 2016 at 21:37 comment added Memor-X (cont.) the timeline where Young Link was taken and "sent" to the future is the Adult Era where the world just continues on from Link's battle with Ganondorf, the hero is defeated timeline is a "what if Link lost the final battle (and didn't have any faeries in bottles)" and the Child Era is caused by Link (and Zelda) preventing the future. what Back to the Future showed was that the future is malleable but most cases i see in games and tv is that the future is fixed and by deviating from it you create a parallel world with it's own set future.
Oct 12, 2016 at 21:37 comment added Memor-X @Fana if you look at things like Dragonball Z, Stargate and the Nasuverse (Fate/Stay Night, Tsukihime) it's that when a split in the timeline occurs due to a change which will alter the future (ie. Dragonball Z Cell travels back in time to wait for the Androids, Stargate Ba'al travels back in time and interfears with the stargate being transported to the US) then each becomes their own parallel world with their own timeline carrying on from the split.
Oct 12, 2016 at 15:20 comment added Fana What's confusing I think is this "The hero is defeated timeline". I guess a better way to imagine that, is to take the "Back to the future" example". The question is what happens to the original timeline from where it starts, is it gone ? Where is Marty in this one ? What happens to the timeline where Young Link was taken and "sent" to the future ? This is the hero is defeated timeline.

Oct 12, 2016 at 1:48 comment added Memor-X @Nelson you can think that if you want but it wont change the reality that this (or atleast the image) was found within an official Zelda Artbook. unless another came out later correcting anything your thinking will be wrong. anyway even without the image there is proof in the series of continuations. Windwaker -> Phantom Hourglass. Ocarina of Time -> Majora's Mask
Oct 12, 2016 at 1:44 comment added Nelson This is just super confusing. I'll rather just think of each game as completely separate entities.
