Hey you forgot about Minish Cap...
Link discover a green cap that can talk and there's a hint in the story about the timeline, it's around 500 years before Ocarina of Time , it could the very first Zelda.
1. Minish Cap
I agree with the split theory:
Ocarina of Time ( Ganondorf his arrested in the past )
Majora's mask ( Young link travel in an other dimension in search of a friend ( Navy ))
Link's Awakening
The Legend of Zelda ( links return to Hyrule invaded by monsters )
Zelda II
Ocarina of Time ( Ganondorf sealed in the future )
Twilight Princess
?????? ( maybe next Zelda )
Wind Waker
Phantom Hourglass
Put Season and Ages at the end of each one ( not sure about the games going on each time line )
Not sure either about link to the past and four sword
Hyrule has been definitly sealed in Wind Waker so I'm not sure about a link to the past
