(5/7) So the 'cabbage' we see in Twilight Princess is simply Death Mountain producing a Lava Dome and related Spines.
Most likely, it is due to erupt properly soon, or otherwise collapse, which may explain the shape and surrounding spines later seen in Breath of the Wild.

(4/7) But what of the large protrusions around the lava dome? Those are a related phenomenon known as 'lava spines'.
They are magma pushed through a vent and cooled, resulting in the large spiked formation you see. They are known to curve, as seen in the comparison shots below.

(3/7) But there is a phenomenon that occurs that resembles the appearance of Twilight Princess' Death Mountain.
That phenomenon is called a Lava Dome, where thick lava builds around the vent. As seen in the comparisons supplied, I'm sure you can see the resemblance.

(2/7) It is often noted that Death Mountain looks like a 'cabbage', due to it's rotund shape and protrusions all around the body.
People often speculate what this might be as it does not look like the Stratovolcano shape it if often depicted as.

(1/7) Due to events within the Theorist Community, I will not longer be posting The Legend of Zelda theories after this thread.
Before I cease, I would like to cover the Death Mountain of Twilight Princess, something that has baffled the community for years.

So there's a new thing we noticed about Ocarina of Time:
When Link draws the Master Sword as a child, the gem turns blue and shows a mark on it.
This isn't a lighting bug, it's actually a texture. So for some reason, this symbol appears when Link draws the Master Sword...

(62/64) Finally, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Simply enough, the game opens with time travel occuring, and creating a new world split off from the events of The Great Calamity 100 years before Breath of the Wild.
Thus, a fifth timeline split.

(61/64) Octavo's taking the Triforce of Power is undone by Fate with the Threads, and Ganondorf abandons his music plans in favour of the original attempt for the Triforce.
Effectively, the game is it's own timeline, while Link and Zelda restore the timeline to how it should be.

(59/64) Thus, it must take place before Four Swords Adventures.
Except, the events would interfere with future events.
Instead, I would place this as a new split, as the crux of the plot is that Octavo stole the Threads of Fate, suggesting he has hijacked Fate itself.

(58/64) Next on the list is Cadence of Hyrule.
This game features a lot of elements from the Fall Timeline, including the type of Zora occupying Hyrule's water.
Well, the plot takes place before the rise of Ganon. We know this due to a young Ganondorf cameo, as a young prince.

(57/64) This would also explain Ruto and Darunia's presence, as the ending of Ocarina of Time seemed to imply that they could not return to their people, opting to, at most, remain at a distance from the celebrations of Ganondorf's defeat. Just food for thought.

(54/64) Meanwhile, when The Wind Waker Epilogue is brought in, the story notes that the landscape is mysterious, unknown. Considering the others were identified by sight as legends and myths, while the Great Sea is mysterious, it suggests a Child Timeline placement.

(53/64) Next up is Hyrule Warriors. The game is a simple placement: post-Twilight Princess with a new Hero.
You see, the game mentions that the events of Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess are myths and legends, hinting those events happened long ago.

(52/64) Link's Crossbow Training is simple enough: the game takes all elements from Twilight Princess, and otherwise can sit quietly after those events. The only oddity is the Temple of Time stages, but Link can likely just redraw the Master Sword to reopen the Gate of Time.

(51/64) Simply put, I've opted to have it as a sequel where he lost the fortune from Rupeeland and moved into a small apartment elsewhere in the world with what he had. Balloon Fight takes place within the book as well, to keep it all together.
