Hello everyone, I subscribed to this forum just now after beating Totk (what an amazing game!), but I've been reading you for a while.
I want to discuss with you a lore matter that has been bugging me, and want to know what you think about it. Sorry for my poor english, I'll try my best.
Zelda, at a certain point in time, travels back in time, than transforms into a dragon a lives for thousand of years, till the end of totk. At a certain point in time, we must have two Zeldas living in the same world. Dragon Zelda with the master sword and Botw Zelda. And that's acceptable, since at a certain point in time Zelda is born, even if there is Dragon Zelda lurking around.
The problem is the master sword. The only way possibile for it to be two master sword in the same universe, is that Totk's ancient past takes time before Skyward Sword (because in SS is where the master sword is seen for the first time, right?).
If we assume that SS events take place before Raul's foundation of Hyrule, than the frame of events between Zelda's transformation in dragon and the thousands of years ahead would not comprehend the creation of another master sword, hence it would not be possibile for Link to have it in BOTW since it's been sent to the past and it's been stuck on Dragon Zelda's head ever since.
But the other problem is that Ganondorf as we know him, The Demon King, is part of Demise's doom. If we accept the fact that Totk's past takes place before SS, to justify the presence of two master swords at a certain point in time, then Ganondorf as the Demon King could not exist in that distance past, because Demise has not yet cast his spell.
What am I missing here?
