ZELDA Timeline According to Quantum Mechanics | Because Science

[ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 2/26/2015]
Is there a real way we can have three separate Zelda universes? Kyle makes sense of the Legend of Zelda timeline, wielding the mighty sword of quantum mechanics. This week's Because Science has never been seen on the Because Science Channel. Unless you’re a time traveler from a different branch of the universe, in which case, please tell us the future is not a fiery hellscape.

[@dylanhawkins385]

Guys these are old Because Science videos, Kyle isn't here anymore. He's on his own channel continuing to be our Nerdy Thor. His channel is called KYLE HILL

Bobby Papoutsis he and BS/Nerdist cut ties. From the sounds of it they weren’t giving him enough creative control (and possibly not paying him as much as he deserves) so he made his own channel called Kyle Hill. In the announcement that Kyle left, Nerdist 1) made it sound like he died 2) didn’t even mention his new channel. Because of this, and the fact that they’re reusing his old content (they do technically have the rights to it), I think most fans (like myself) are on Kyle’s side of this little “divorce”

This actually could explain my theory on the origin of the song of storms. The songs writer is in majora's mask, which is in a timeline where he defeated Ganon and is now growing up. So the song of storms could very well be a causality loop due to time travel and split timelines innersecting.

[@NoMOOO_Jr]

From what I understand, the two Link timelines if Link succeeds only splits because the timeline where adult link is sent back in time by Zelda no longer has a link and that’s the timeline that turns into windwaker and phantom hourglass and so on. That’s why the opener to windwaker was the hero arrived defeated the evil and disappeared. And wasn’t there when he was needed because link no longer existed in that particular timeline.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

People keep saying that the chronology wasn't thought out before the games were made, but there's a lot of evidence in Ocarina that pushes towards a three-way split timeline, long before Wind Waker was ever a thing. A lot of people assumed things were retcons that were actually hints to the third timeline (like Ganon's possession of only one piece of the Triforce when he got sealed, the identities of the Seven Sages, other little incongruencies here and there between OoT and the Sealing Wars, as told in ALttP). I nailed the timeline down in friggin 2002 (right when all the timeline arguments really took off on the internet), and I'm an _idiot,_ so it really wasn't that subtle.

Different timelines in the same universe are not different universes just different quantum states of the same universe in 5D or 6D. You have to think of time in 3 dimensions with Z-Time being the normal progression with X-Time and Y-Time being quantum tangents. It is still the same 10D bubble.

The two timelines that exist when Link defeats Ganon are created thanks to Zelda bringing Link back to his past, only that he knows what happened in the future.

Meanwhile, Link is sended back in time and he's triying to make stuff work out for the better, or something like that

Shouldn't Link, therefore, have a child link timeline where he 1. Doesn't defeat Ganon as a child 2. Link defeats Ganon as an adult and is then sent back to his time as a child. And therefore majoras mask happens. 3. Adult Link defeats Ganon and somehow refuses to go back in time and becomes an adult who continues his travels. 4. Link loses to Ganon as an adult and Ganon goes off and becomes more powerful. Forcing Link to rematch. (BOTW mostly) We could have infinite timelines created because he even chose to fight Ganon

[@Cellenta]

I guess your approach with quantum mechanics doesn't fit here. First the "Ganon is defeated" timeline(split). Once you defeated Ganon as adult link, princess Zelda sends Link back into his present. This future (adult) timeline is where Windwaker happens. After link is back in his present, he is warning the royal family about Ganondorf. So... how does the "Link is defeated" timeline fits in all this? It fit's when you look at skyward sword. In this game you also had timetravel. In this game you bansh Demise in the present but kills him in the past. (or vice versa). In the Timeline, where Demise is killed, it leads to the timeline where link succed against Ganon. The Timeline where Demise is banished into the mastersword, his essence gets into ganondorf and makes him far stronger, which leads to the fallen hero timeline.

There wasn't Time Travel in ocarina of Time originaly ? Seriously? X) The second half of the time Line is quite easy to understand, at the end of the game Zelda send link back in Time creating a Time Line where link as stop Ganon before oot even occur and one where link is not there anymore since he has been send back in time, the harder Time Line to explain is the timeline of defeat, but many World theory let it make sense
