I am not a fan but still watched the video and I am even more confused now.

if after Ocarina of time link was sent to the past, how the hell there is an adult link timeline? And also if in order to be sent back in time link had to defeat Ganon, how would be possible for link to be defeated by him?? and if he was defeated how the hell in that time line there is another link?

I am really confused.

It is called the Adult timeline because that's the timeline where Adult Link did everything he did (gathering all the Sages). He defeats Ganon and is sent back to being a child. The Adult timeline is one where Adult Link essentially disappears, since he was sent back as a child. So Ganon stays defeated and Adult Zelda is still there, but Adult Link is gone. So essentially, that timeline starts after Ganon is defeated and Adult Link is sent back, and essentially erased, but everything he did still happened. As for the fallen hero timeline, Link was never sent back in time in that timeline. He was killed by Ganon, and that timeline continues with Ganon taking over Hyrule until he was overthrown. And the Link that defeats him later in that timeline is a new Link, not the same one, just like how it's technically a new Zelda each time, and how there are different Ganons.

 

That's my attempt at trying to explain. Hope it helped. :P
