I’ve no idea why anyone takes the idea of a Zelda timeline even remotely seriously.
Because Nintendo made one. They published the "official" timeline like a decade ago, and then made a TON of references to it in Breath of the Wild. Not our fault they then decided to shit on it with Tears of the Kingdom.
No different than people being into star trek, star wars, a song of fire and ice, DC or Marvel lore. People like stories they can converse over. Timelines are yet another piece to talk about.
What's a work of fiction that you care about? Possibly something formative to your childhood, or something that was just really damn good and you love it?
Now imagine the author/artist/dev/whatever making some boneheaded decisions that make this thing you love worse in petty and annoying ways that don't really matter but they should know better since they've been doing it longer than you've been alive.
If you can imagine this scenario, then you understand why zelda fans are upset, again
I can't think of many things I care less about than fictional things being reworked. They're fiction. "There has to be this truth to this fiction!" is something that will never keep me awake at night and is completely foreign to me. It's like the same shit when people started whining that the ghost busters are girls, and that Ariel can't be black. is it entertaining, is the only question I care about.
And don't get me wrong, I get upset when I watch my sports teams so I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, above getting upset over stupid shit. Lol
The two examples you gave are about bigots hating people for existing, with little to actually do with
Yeah I'm disappointed rhat they shifted from 'so far in the future it's irrelevant' to 'let's soft reboot the whole thing'.
Imagine TOTK as not an overstuffed addon, but set during the war with Demise. But then they'd have to deal with that pesky triforce again...
