Heres a possible render of Twilight Princess/Ocarina of time map overlay.

Its possible they just adopted the theory after it became really popular.
Afterall SS Link time travels at least 4 times(possibly even 40 times if you count walking in and out of those time fields), TP Link time travels at least twice, OoT Link time travels at least five times, MM Link time travels countless times.

So chances are its not Time Traveling, itself, which causes the timeline Split.
Rather it might've been Zelda's accidental doing or Ganondorf's(a wish that possibly can't be undone).

Young Zelda is eager to send you off to go grab the Master Sword & make you a hero to defeat Ganondorf before he can do any real harm to the Kingdom. She didn't know that by grabbing the Master Sword that you would be locked in stasis, aged beyond your years just to be the right strength & size to wield the Master Sword.
Meanwhile Ganondorf walks right by you and makes a wish on the Triforce, its possible the wish itself makes an anchor in time that can't be undone.
At the end Zelda & the Sages are restored. Zelda berates herself for being so foolish and sends you back to live out your childhood(probably not knowing about Majora's Mask), its possible she caused the timeline split here by forcing you back before you pulled the Master Sword out at all.

I never liked the retelling theory. I like when you can see the connections between the games, but I also don't care for the split theory that much, its just a tool to figure out whats what.

Speaking of, another point to the Wish on the Triforce not being undone is that Ganondorf in Twilight Princess would've been executed after young Link & Zelda told on him(she does send Link back to the first time they met, so no triforce for child-timeline Ganon). So why it was a "Divine Prank" it somewhat revealed.
