== The games actually take place in parallel universes. == As a result of the events of ''Ocarina of Time'', the ''Zelda'' timeline split into two parallel universes. In the first, Ganon's defeat at Link's hands results in a [[No Ontological Inertia]] situation in which Ganondorf was defeated and sealed before he ever touched the Triforce (though he still got the affinity of Power) -- therefore, adult Link's adventures never happened. In the other, time continued flowing after adult Link defeated Ganon in the future, but Link himself physically "vanished" when he returned to the other timeline. ''Majora's Mask'', ''A Link to the Past'', and ''Twilight Princess'' (and possibly the first two Zelda games for the NES) take place in the former timeline, while ''Wind Waker'' and ''Phantom Hourglass'' take place in the latter. ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages'' happen simultaneously, one in each timeline, and cause the timelines to fuse again. A few [[Word of God|creator interviews]] have stated that this is in fact the case. For lots of fun with this sort of thing, check out [https://web.archive.org/web/20090420132414/http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_Theory_Page the following web page].
* Hell, [[Word of God]] states that TP takes place over a century after the "child" ending of OoT.
* [[Word of God]] holds that this is actually the case.
