The " | The "2D Child" Timeline is a discipline of the Split Timeline that proposes that all of the older (2D) titles are to be placed in the Child Timeline, along with MM and TP, and that the Adult Timeline serves as a seperate story apart from the older games and thus completely free to continue into its own chronology. | ||
Since many split timeline theorists placed the 2D games in the Child Timeline prior to the split's confirmation, many of them continued to do so after TP's release. | Since many split timeline theorists placed the 2D games in the Child Timeline prior to the split's confirmation, many of them continued to do so after TP's release. | ||

*The implication of the ending of TWW is that Hyrule is gone, perhaps suggesting that no future games in that timeline (placed after TWW) will or can take place there, which would place the 2D games in the Child line by default. | *The implication of the ending of TWW is that Hyrule is gone, perhaps suggesting that no future games in that timeline (placed after TWW) will or can take place there, which would place the 2D games in the Child line by default. | ||
