    At the end of Ocarina of time, Zelda sends Link back to the past, but technically Link is actually frozen in the Temple of Time, he never "time travels" so if he is frozen in the Temple of Time, then his body has to stay in there for Link to save the world, so when Zelda sends you back, she is sending you back to be frozen, because if Link does not get frozen then he cannot save the world meaning that Zelda never sent Link back to the past in the first place so he cannot have gotten frozen, resulting in Ganondorf's rule. If both the Links are co-existing in the future then where is he during the future in ocarina of Time? He would have already gone through battling Ganondorf, so he would know what his form would be doing and so go there to help Link save the world, but nobody helped you. Also since Link never "time traveled" then his real time is the time in which he saves Zelda, so why does Zelda send you back. How can he travel to the past through the temple of time when he never "time traveled"? Yes I know, I have confused you but just try to understand what I mean, it is kind of hard to explain through words, have you thought this at all? Or am I just thinking about it too much?

    I am really confused... Is this a theory that you made? I can't tell which parts you are stating as fact and which parts are your own assumptions...

    This time she doesn' t send him to the temple of time anchor point, she sends him before that, when they met in Hyrule Castle. If Link didn' t open the temple of time to begin with then Ganondorf couldn' t have followed him there, seized the triforce and ****ed Hyrule up, that' s the point.

    Zelda' s time travel mojo created two time-lines :
    - One in which kid Link enters the temple, is frozen into an adult and beats Ganon.
    - One in which kid Link knows better and never enters the temple.

    Well, at least that' s what the game says, but Nintendo confirmed a while back, in a book called Hyrule Historia, that there is actually a third time-line : kid Link enters the temple, is frozen into an adult and ... fails to thwart Ganondorf somehow. I kid you not. I assume he' s beaten into a bloody pulp by Ganon. That particular time-line leads to the sealing war told in the prologue of A Link to the Past.

    Here' s a translation of Hyrule Historia, pages 68 and 69 :

    Not going to lie I did kind of mess up in the original post. I wouldn't call these "facts" just time paradoxes.
