The "timeline" was a big debate in the Zelda fandom/community for a long time until the Hyrule Historia book introduced an "official timeline" that featured a split three-way timeline centered around Ocarina of Time as the source of the split. That was released after Skyward Sword. Breath of the Wild had some discussion about where it fits but wasn't really seen as too big a deal, then Tears of the Kingdom all but straight up ignored the "timeline" and introduced a new "canon" founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule, which while I've long stopped paying attention to the fandom, I could imagine the timeline debate starting all over again. TLDR: some people take video game lore really seriously.

Ive always found it odd that people having fun trying to establish a games lore is "taking it too seriously."

God forbid someone have fun the way you dont, I guess?

Oh, nothing wrong with it. Just pointing out that people put a lot of time and effort into it.

All you need to do to figure that out is spend literally any amount of time in an Elder Scrolls forum
