I always thought they were parallel universes or the same one on an endless time loop with infinite variations

I prefer to think it as it is named - A Legend. In that each timeline is a different take to narrate that Legend.

That would make a ton of sense as the legend (beat Ganon) is the same but details and setting change

But I couldn’t help chuckle at mental image of some grandpa telling his kid the legend (the tears of the kingdom version) of making a weaponzied hover bike torturing koroks

I always thought it was reincarnation of a group of ideal, godlike people

I don’t think I’ve met a true Zelda fan that cares much about the grand timeline(s), or even argues they make sense
