what makes it impossible to reconcile it with the existing franchise timeline ?.

[{"selector":"#anim-e7b02f3a-5a91-43d9-94a3-e5102f4ac7ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Certain characters and events in Tears of the Kingdom make it impossible to ever reconcile.

[{"selector":"#anim-f1ce2db7-24a7-4819-9bbc-f0821bca7715 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.41035058413565%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

It's unlikely there will ever be an update to the official Zelda timeline, simply because TOTK has made it too confusing.

[{"selector":"#anim-27cf50ee-e397-4d5c-81f4-8da4181248a8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-45.60760088658228%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

With all of the changes that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom makes to the Zelda franchise it seems less likely that there will ever be a proper update to the official chronology.

[{"selector":"#anim-50c6f4df-b14c-4de7-bb18-46f28f4b1934 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-2.7730372560907357%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Nintendo’s official Zelda timeline, released after Skyward Sword, splits into three branches, each representing a different outcome.

[{"selector":"#anim-6376ed18-757e-4701-b275-a5bc321abfea [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.029832199981406%, 0, 0) translate(-17.006802721088434%, -2.1956727834230745e-7%) scale(1.3401360544217686)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

With conflicting references to these timelines, BOTW can reside at the end of all three branches simultaniously.

[{"selector":"#anim-b6fb75fb-948b-4a5e-8d70-23aef34e16a2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-11.663461305836908%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
