What I mean is, if they're putting the classic titles on a separate branch that doesn't make sense at all for the sole purpose of filling in the gaps later, that would imply that they have something planned, which is not very likely at all. Why would they even release a timeline in such a state? There's too much of a gap of missing information there. It's not sitting well for most people who've seen this.
And honestly, the timeline makes perfect sense if you place that A Link to the Past -> Zelda II branch after Four Swords Adventures. There are some inconsistencies, but they pale in comparison to the ones that are formed with splitting them this way.
