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.

If you haven't played the games you will never understand it. I have played every Zelda game (excluding CD-i) and this timeline still confuses me a little lol.

Anyway amazing video, the music was perfect and it explains the games and the timeline very well, big probs to the guys who put the effort in making this video. Can't wait for Hyrule Historia!! 

The video says that because of Ocarina of time, 3 time lines are generated, but I dont understand the explanation.    The younger link time line I understand, because it is the time line that continues the exact events that happened in the end of Ocarina of time, from a Link perspective.

The adult link time follows the events of Ocarina of time, but from the perspective of princess Zelda.  What I dont understand here is if Link was sent to the past, how the hell there is another link in that time line for the following games?  In the video it even says that they were expecting for time travelling hero to come back, but he did not, and yet there is character named link WTF?!  it does not make sense for me at least.

And finally if Link was sent to the past, and therefore he defeated Ganon, (because if not he would not be able to go back in time), how can he be beated by Ganon then? And If Link is dead in that time line how there is another Link in the following games in that time line??

Considering some plot holes in the video, I dont think playing the games would make any difference.    But if you know some of the answers to the questions I have written, do you care to share them? :D

The games still take place in the same universe, but by playing with time Zelda created a time paradox. So even if the Adult Link timeline "doesn't have" a Link anymore, that Link could reborn since it's the same universe, in this timeline Link didn't reborn to save Hyrule before the flood but he did reborn after those events (Wind Waker)

The Hero's defeated timeline is very weird. It still takes place in the same universe but alongside the Adult Link in Ocarina of Time. I believe this is more of a "what if" scenario more than a time paradox like the other timelines. It still created a different timeline but the circumstances didn't have time involved.
