I was just saying that it definitely takes place after Ocarina, they didn't need to say so because it was obvious. I was also saying that it made sense because Link died 100 yrs before the events of BotW.

I never said anything one way or the other about any of the other things you mentioned there.
The problem is that:
1) He did not "die," he was asleep; put into stasis.
2) No other hero named link defeated calamity ganon while link from botw was asleep.
3) The game ends with Link winning. If the other games in the "hero falls" timeline take place before that, see reason 2. If the games take place after, then they do not fit with your theory because Link DID NOT DIE AT THE END.

There is a point in the came where they reference him dying and being carried to the Resurrection shrine.

Maybe it was a prophesy about the twilight part. Maybe it hadn't happened yet. :unsure:

Just arguing for the sake of arguing with this one, lol.
BTW Benja is correct. in the last memory link collapses and zelda says that he is extremely near death. or something along that line.

Why would they need to hurry if the shrine could literally resurrect dead people? Sorry, but you're wrong. HE DID NOT DIE.

How are we debating this, its actually called shrine of "resurrection", if that's not enough to tell you there is no point in this.
The game tells you you were ALSEEP within the first 5 seconds. Impa tells you that Zelda put you into STASIS. Zelda tells the guards that Link's LIFE is in their hands. Tells them to hurry, or they will lose him FOREVER. Its in plain writing, the game says it 100 times, and I've even given you a screenshot as proof. At this point, you're just being a stubborn idiot. I give up. Think what you want.

Its fine, if you want to get nit picky the actual name of the timeline is "the Hero is defeated" so it doesn't matter anyway whether he died under your strict standards or not.

I already said I'm done arguing. This has devolved to a childish level. Nothing I say will mean anything to you at this point, so why bother? Your profile claims you are 35 years old, start acting like it. Have a nice night.
Its fine if you're afraid of logic.

Well, it's true that Link was "dying" at that moment. He was on the verge of death and was about to die if nothing was to be done. So he technically was alive when he was being brought to the Cave of Resurrection, but just barely. And he went into stasis to recover from his heavy wounds (he even has scars from what NPCs say when he goes shirtless). Kinda like going into a coma and just slowly recovering.

Exactly, and the timeline is "Hero is defeated" so whether he literally died or not by anyone's standards, no one can argue that he was not "defeated" by Ganon.

But the problem with that is that Twilight Princess occurs in the Child Timeline and not in the "Hero Defeated" timeline. And there's a gigantic mention of Twilight Princess when Zelda was appointing Link as her knight.
