:The part I always have qualms with is that Majora's Mask and Wind Waker are on opposite sides of the timeline. The reason for this is that the backstory for Wind Waker clearly mentions the Hero of Time leaving Hyrule for another, unknown land. It's quite obviously referring to Termina. Wind Waker should most certainly have a tie to Majora's Mask. (Plus the fact that Majora's Mask and Wind Waker are abbreviated as MM and WW, respectively, which can be flipped to get the abbreviation for the other title. But that seems unlikely to be anything more than a fun fact.) [[User:Kyro-Dizzy|Kyro-Dizzy]]

:In addition, I believe that the key components to this timeline are the ones we know little or nothing about. There are very large and at the same time very small gaps for which we have no base. There is no backing for such events as the Sealing (Imprisoning) War. The information for this, which is detailed in A Link to the Past, must actually refer to the Era of Chaos, for the Sacred Realm was sealed in that time period. The implications of this are very interesting, for the Era of Chaos must take place eons before A Link to the Past. There is also the Golden Era, which implies that the Triforce is used by the Royal Family of Hyrule to give the land peace and prosperity. The problem then becomes that, in order to use the Triforce, the Royal Family must have some member with an unbreakable spirit, as Zelda says in Skyward Sword. This is highly unlikely, as I see it, for such a person must be very influential yet have a strong balance in their heart. The ideal person would be a descendant of Link, but he himself has no known connection to the Royal Family.
:Thus far, I have mostly been examining the Decline Timeline to point out unvisited periods throughout the whole. But there is another interesting detail in it. The timeline is dubbed "Hyrule's Decline and the Last Hero." It is the second part that has caught my attention: "The Last Hero." The implication here is that, from A Link to the Past to Adventure of Link, there is no new hero. In other words, the Link in ALttP is the same one as in AoL. This is the first conclusion one comes to. It may, however, be a reference to the fact, learned from ALttP, that Link is likely the only remaining descendant of the Knights of Hyrule, who are, by their lineage, destined to become the hero of Hyrule that casts down Ganon. Still, we cannot rule out any possibilities, no matter how ludicrous they may seem.
