Wouldn't that then effect every game? It did, I think that's made them plan out the timeline events. The time travel apparently created a 3 path split in the timeline. One where Link was successful and defeated Ganon. One where he defeats Ganon and then abandons that timeline to return to his original one. So he's absent for that timeline afterwards. Then his original timeline where he prevents Ganon from gaining power and remains an active player in events moving forward.

That's not the split. As lucariopikmin posted the quote from Aonuma, adult Link saves the world but leaves to go back to being a child in the past. Then he gets lost looking for Navi, does MM, returns and is given no real credit. Ganondorf is arrested for plotting against the king ~~and "executed ".~~ Then TP happens. Meanwhile, the adult timeline has no Link since he left and Ganondorf escapes and starts destroying shit. People pray for Link to return as he was the hero that saved everybody, but nobody shows up. So they pray to the gods, who decide to flood the world and that's WW. Aonuma also said BotW is not anywhere on the timeline and was done purposely to keep people guessing.

One of them is just the ghost of the ancestor but it makes no sense for the shade to be part of the child timeline. Why not? Link was returned to his childhood in OoT, which split the timeline. He subsequently has an adventure in Termina, goes back to Hyrule, and then grows up, has a family, and dies with regrets over not being able to pass on his techniques. He appears as a ghost to his descendant, TP Link, and teaches the techniques and passes on. What's there to be confused about? Of course the Hero's Shade may not necessarily be OoT Link, but there is nothing discounting TP Link having knightly ancestors. --- Currently playing / Backlog / Collection: https://howlongtobeat.com/user?n=M_Watcher <cite>M-Watcher posted [p:968260699] in Wait what?...

IIRC Mario did have a timeline up until the early 2000s, but they retconned it by introducing Pauline to the modern games. The Mario in the Donkey Kong arcade games is the father of current Mario and Luigi. Also, the current Mario and Luigi had an ancestor named Jumpman who went to the Mushroom Kingdom and got married to a member of the royal family.
