"One timeline (The A Link to the Past -> Zelda II timeline) assumes Link fails in his quest to beat Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time."
What in the world? I'm so confused. I mean, that fits in with the prologue in A Link to the Past where it said, "One day, evil power began to flow from the Golden Land (the Sacred Realm), so the King commanded seven wise men (the Seven Sages) to seal the gate to the Land of the Golden Power."
However, that doesn't explain how Ganon was sealed, how his Dark World came to be (although, I guess this can be explained multiple ways, the easiest scapegoat is that his evil ways caused the Triforce to create a dark, alternate version of the world, which was basically the idea when A Link to the Past was first released, anyway. Later installments in the series created more complications), how Ganon got his hands on the Trident of Power (He's supposed to obtain it at the end of Four Swords Adventures) and at what point Link failed in his quest in the events of Ocarina of Time.
The only scenario I can think of that would branch off to the A Link to the Past split that way would be that Link never came back when he pulled the Master Sword from its pedestal. The King of Hyrule would have to still be alive for that to have happened and the door to the Sacred Realm would still have to have been opened. It would have had to have been that the King ordered the Sages to seal the door to the Sacred Realm when Ganondorf managed to find the Triforce in the Sacred Realm after Link entered and disappeared. I have no clue what would have happened to Link, though...
