The middle timeline and the right timeline can both be achieved by one singular set of actions that takes place within the universe.
The left timeline (at least according to this) cannot be achieved unless a completely different set of actions took place.
So basically from the canon standpoint, EITHER the left branch happens OR the middle AND right branches happen.
There's a way to achieve all three (with some retconning of some details), but it's not the route they chose, apparently.
Well...exactly. Multiple timelines imply multiple sets of actions and multiple outcomes to those outcomes. That's kind of the entire point. I'm not sure why you're upset about this. I'm sure the intent was never to make any of the games non-canon, and that's not what's happening here at all. Last I checked, it was entirely possible for Link to die during OoT.
