Here's the real zelda timeline: each game is seperate and I don't know what ever gave anybody any other impression.

The various references to other games in each game, and Aonuma outright stating that there's a timeline?

The 3rd split is a bit of a cop-out, but I'm still satisfied with the official timeline.

I think the 3rd Timeline is fine, there's no way to seriously fit all the games into just two timelines, and a timeline spawning from Link loosing to Ganon in OoT is pretty interesting

I read Marvel and DC comics. I'm used to Crisis of Infinite Zeldas.
