Especially seemingly having both Demise and Ganondorf, when SS all but explicitly said that they're the same entity. Personally, I'm inclined to just go with "they make up whatever timeline they need to shore up the story they want to tell." The official position was that there was no timeline outside of the direct sequels, right up until they decided they could make money knitting one together to sell Hyrule Historia, so I don't think there's actually any plan to establish and maintain a consistent canon.

IIRC, they said there IS an official canon timeline in file folders, but it's a secret, and did likely come about from fans speculating of a timeline. The breakdown generally makes sense, but I guess it'll depend on the explanation of how Ganondorf is alive again.
