Basically it goes :
-Origin stories
--Developer Intent (Hero loses, Ganon and countless other evil entities are sealed in the Sacred Realm by the Sages at the command of the King and Sacred Realm becomes the Dark World.)
--Child Timeline Split (Hero returns to Princess Zelda after going back in time and forewarns the King about Ganondorf's evil ways/plans and proves it with the Mark of the Triforce of Courage and Ganondorf gets executed / thrown into the Twilight Realm.)
--Adult Timeline Split (Hero disappears forever, due to Zelda sending him back in time, Ganondorf breaks free from Sacred Realm, Gods of Old flood Hyrule.)
