There's a lot of animosity between timeline theorists trying to place Breath of the Wild. The child timeline and downfall timeline theorists seem particularly at odds, and the adult timeline and reunification theorists are reviled, bullied, and offhandedly dismissed (might be exaggerating a little, but I've seen it). I'm a downfall theorist, but the adult timeline makes a lot of sense to me, too.

    One major problem is that everyone cherrypicks what is important and often come up with lame counterarguments for why others' important things aren't important. For instance, I've heard it vehemently argued that the Zora Tablets actually disprove adult and downfall because they're worded so that it's obvious the Zoras were told the events by a time traveling Link.

    One thing always cherrypicked is the Divine Beasts. They're all named after sages, but downfall and child theorists will dismiss these as just easter eggs despite their great importance to the story? Why? One is named after Medli, a sage who only appears in the adult timeline. This point is actually one that makes me want to support the adult timeline.

    The adult timeline has a strong case, actually. A lot of the evidence for the downfall timeline is also applicable (mainly, the Zora tablets naming Ruto as a sage, also, the Great Deku Tree being alive). Plus, it now explains why there are Koroks and Rito as well as the aforementioned Divine Beast Vah Medoh.

    The names of the other three Divine Beasts also work for either the Adult or Downfall Timelines.

    People take it way too seriously. Botw takes place so far into the future after Ocarina that anything can happen. That said, I think it's the adult timeline.
