''Twilight Princess'' originally appeared as if it would cause a large amount of grief to those fans who studied the [[Zelda Timeline|timeline]]. Debating on the false pretense that Nintendo had intended the game as something of an ''Ocarina of Time''-''The Wind Waker'' connection, theorists found a large number of seemingly irreconcilable inconsistencies. Thankfully, the majority of these problems were solved when perusal of more respectable [[Timeline Quotes|Japanese material]] showed that Nintendo actually had a very different intention for the game.

''Twilight Princess'' occurs some centuries after ''Ocarina of Time'', due to a number of events which occurred in the days of the Hero of Time (''Ocarina of Time''/''Majora's Mask'' [[Link]]), during what we identify as the "Child Timeline". After defeating [[Ganon]] in <i>Ocarina of Time</i>'s "adult ending", Link was sent back through time by [[Princess Zelda]] to relive his sacrificed childhood and divert the past Hyrule away from its terrible future. In the past, Link's knowledge of Ganon's plans led to his capture, following an unsuccessful invasion of Hyrule. Ganon was taken then by the [[Sage]]s to the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] to be executed.<ref>{{cite|He was the leader of a band of thieves who invaded Hyrule in the hopes of establishing dominion over the Sacred Realm.
