ok i think i get it.

in orcarina of time when link does the time split if he were to continue on that pathway and we saw the years that passed that dimension in time would have eventually lead to the windwaker time.

then a boy who lives in a town that loves the story of link and gannon dresses up in the the legends uniform. he then goes off on his own quest. he is not link or neccesarily related to link. in other words wind waker is kinda not part of the original story.

now at the end of orcarina of time he puts hte master sword back. time moves on the planet continues to change. enter in the twilight princess which im yet to play so i dont know its deal along with minish and 4 swords. but anyways another boy link part of the same timeline as orcarina of time jsut years in the future finds his dads sword and finds the master sword. and so on moves on to the rest of the zeldas which keep on following the events of orcarina of time.

am i right?
