A Zelda idea: How about an older/middle aged link?

I actually suggested this in another thread a few months ago...
Make Link a parent...
Instead of just saving Zelda like always, have him save his kids...
Or if Nintendo really wanted to mess with fans' heads...
They could make Zelda his daughter...

Reason why I think that doesn't work is because of the lore of the franchise to begin with.  How could they justify making that decision?  They could definitely try going for someone who isn't Zelda or a female,  but if it were his kid... it would slowly become a different game due to the fact that it messes with the "timeline."

how would it not work in the timeline? not being smug i honestly dont understand the timeline lol
