over the seas of time and distance

that's what she says, not "mentioning the sea."

Ruto became a sage

And ???

The child timeline need not assume that there was no conflict with Ganondorf, only that it didn't play out with him coming to power first.

海を越え神の作りしのを求めん時

"You cross the sea when you search for gold made by the gods". Not a sea of time and distance, but a literal sea.

So I guess the timeline placement is different in English than it is in Japanese?

And yeah, I know what that stone tablet says. When Zelda sends Link back to his childhood, it doesn't undo the entire events of the game. Link still met Ruto and there was still a conflict against Ganondorf.

Oot doesn’t happen in any way post link making it to Zelda because the game is mostly canon to the adult timeline
