No, in fact Wind Waker is specifically called out as being in the past
of BOTW because there’s rock salt everywhere that refers to “the ancient sea”, and since you can find that rock salt all over the map, that sea used to span all of Hyrule, which means it’s almost definitely the Great Sea from Wind Waker which I guess just dried up at some point
Canonically, BotW is at the end of the series. “But doesn’t the timeline split in Ocarina of Time?” Yes. BotW is the canonical endpoint of each branching timeline.
So at some point, all the branches just converge? Can’t wait to see how they explain that…
I can! if hyrule warriors is considered, reckless time travel being fixed with time magic to prevent any branching will leave scars on the timeline which other branches can bleed through. oracle of ages has reckless time travel with time magic fixing it so no branches spawn from it and later on in its branch, the alternate universe of lorule bleeds through its scars. so since the timeline is hella fucked across all three branches, they kind of bleed into a single timeline once more because varen was a bitch and cia couldnt keep it in her pants.
