WTF? WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THIS?

If Zelda sent him back to this moment wont the bad stuff repeat all over again? How did they manage to prevent it? Zelda specifically said that his father doesnt believe her when she warns him about Ganondorf.

And btw, how were the Kokiri partying on Lon Lon Ranch when they specifically said that leaving the forest they die?

Kokiri don't actually die when they leave the forest, it was a scare tactic so the Deku Tree could keep them safe. Their descendants, the Korok, are also able to leave the forest with no problem, and in fact spend a lot of time away from the forest to plant new trees on lots of islands in WW.

This my head canon, but here you go.

I always imagined defeating Ganondorph in the future prevented him from existing in the past since he was sealed in the sacred realm. I know the timeline split thing is a bit controversial, but since it's official Ganondorph only triumphed in one of the three timelines and therefore only continued to exist in that one.

Link returning to being a kid and visiting Zelda in this scene had more to do with him wanting to meet her under different circumstances. I always imagined that she looked through that window often to spy on her father's subjects, and Ganondorph was just the one she was spying on that day. So Ganondorph is not a part of this final scene, this is just Link reuniting with the princess who never knew him.

Some think the Lost Woods are Zelda's version of the Aokigahara Suicide Forest of Japan. Considering how Grog is severely depressed and hates his life and stole the Poacher's Saw and asks Link to bring him back "strong medicine", it can be implied Grog killed himself with the Poacher's Saw before reanimating as a Stalfos and the Kokiri saying "people who become lost" actually means suicide, and the Skull Kids and Stalfos are reanimated corpses of people who killed themselves.

TP’s execution scene makes it seem like he just went back in time and they told the king what happened and that let them stop him.

Which really makes no fucking sense. No reason for him to believe them now when he didnt believe his daughter earlier.

I’m someone who is really into the whole zelda lore and think its more coherent than most give it credit for, but this part never made sense.

If you take it in the scope of just what’s in oot and not later gamss then you can assume magic or whatever took care of past ganon when he got sealed in the future, though they really never explain it at all. For a very long time I thought the future was inevitable in oot but that its salvation was also inevitable, and young link’s fate was the only unknown. Even back then oot’s ending was pretty vague. Still one of the most satisfying conclusions in vidya, somehow.

According to canon, Link and Zelda are somehow able to use knowledge of future events to expose Ganondorf's intentions immediately, which leads into the backstory of Twilight Princess.

Although I'm not really sure how this works, since Zelda knew he had evil intentions from the start and her father wouldn't listen, I'm not sure how her saying "this random forest kid has seen the future where Ganondorf killed you" actually changes things.

Not really. The crown would pass to the king's son under normal circumstances and the Zelda's all come from the royal line.

Because they know what Ganondorf's exact plan of action is this time around. The only reason he won originally is because he was dealing with some dumb kids who couldn't comprehend that maybe opening up the way to the Sacred Realm would be a bad idea with Ganon running free.

OoT is a prequel to LttP and an alternate retelling of the events of the Sealing War described in the opening crawl of that game. That's how the game was originally advertised, as the story of how Ganondorf became Ganon and how he got sealed into the Sacred Realm (which subsequently turned into the Dark World). Of course, Hyrule Historia fucked with all that, but back in the day they just didn't give a shit about shamelessly retconning the stories because the games came first and they just wrote whatever worked best for that game at that moment.

Zelda games aren't known for their good stories OP, it's literally a "I REMEMBER THE SCENE!!!" ending. None of it means anything, it's just a familiar location.
