Now you're making a false equivocation. Just because there exists a loop in your imagination does not imply this was the intent. Here's the facts: Link is sent back in time to warn young Zelda about Ganon and thus prevent the timeline he was sent from taking place. However, that splits the timeline and has the world in which Ganon was defeated at his tower continue without Link.

If he dies at either point in those timelines it doesn't create another timeline. He's just dead. This doesn't allot for Ganon's defeat and requires a completely different reality, not a split.

Essentially, if you're saying that every possible time Link could die creates a new timeline where the hero fails and evil triumphs, then there's millions of timelines, while they might be similar they are all separate realities with different histories. Which would make showing a timeline somewhat problematic.

So what you're arguing (currently) is that there are billions of timelines with no clear beginning or end. Making your earlier points meaningless, and your current distinctions arbitrary.
