Yeah I understand why they did it, but I still don't like it. 

I just really like the Zelda universe, so the more story the better imo. Probably the reason why I like 3D Zelda games more than the 2D ones. 

But all that story created the mess that is now known as the timeline. Even worse, there is more than one timeline.

Personally, I think it's better to view the The Legend of Zelda series as "transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords eternally retold", meaning that all of it might very well be one and the same story, but preserved for future generations by different authors each time. So anyone who wrote the legend down put their own twist on it.

Nintendo was kind enough to give us an official timeline  

While I really love the Zelda universe, I was never one of those people who came up with crazy theories to see what game came after the other to make a timeline and all that kind of stuff. I love the Zelda universe but mostly in each individual game. Before the official timeline I always look at Zelda games like their own universe and that (with some exceptions) one game in the franchise didn't had anything to do with the other. And I still do, because the Zelda timeline is so weird and confusing that instead of trying to learn what game came after the other, I just enjoy each Zelda world like their own individual thing.
