At first, there was no timeline (It's very evident in the first two games and how hard they are to place in the timeline, I just ignore them). A few games later (most likely starting with ALttp), Nintendo starting using the timeline. Yes, I know they acknowledge there being one now. I just think it started with fan speculation and Nintendo hadn't planned it from the start. Pretty sure on that.
Yeah, I followed the timeline for awhile in the gamefaq official timeline threads, then the pointless arguing got to me, and I just quit reading them. But, the split timeline theory is the correct one, Nintendo has confirmed that already.

It's old now, though.
If anyone cares, here's the Faq/newest thread of Impossible II's. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessag...c=42336718
