The entire Zelda time line makes me laugh because it makes no sense. It magically splits into 3 paths from Ocarina. I still maintain there isn't a continuous story across all games but Nintendo just tried to force it.

Well, when it envolves time travelling, theres no way to not get messy. I am always open to the theory that you cant erase a catastrophic present by going back in time an fixing what got wrong before, youll just branch out in alternative timelines.

However I agree that it was just an afterthought to them after making so many Zelda games, despite blending so well, specially the part of the many process of specification among Ritos and Zoras and many others cameos or references 

Agreed but with ocarina, link doesn't travel back, he travels forward.  And some how when he travels back, after securing the future it splits.  That doesn't make sense to me.  

But it doesn't matter, still the best franchise in gaming and we seem to all agree Nintendo forced a fit when there isn't one.

Metal Gear doesn't have a messed up time line, just a completely jacked story that never made sense to me.  But that technically isn't on topic.
