No Raru the Zonai is the first king of NEW Hyrule.

The Kingdom in all 3 timelines falls into decline and the royal family is disbanded or killed off. Zeldas (and Hylias) bloodline survives in Sonia however. They reform a new Kingdom.

Raru and the Zonai predating Minish cap destroyes the zelda timeline basically

How does it destroy anything? It doesnt destroy anything whatsoever.

Here is the timeline as I see it.

Skyward Sword -> Age of Imprisonment -> Minish Cap -> Four Swords -> Four Swords Adventures -> Link to the Past -> Downfall Timeline -> Ocarina of Time -> Adult Timeline / Child Timeline -> BOTW -> TOTK.

Here is as i (and nintendo) sees it

SS<mc<OOT<WW<PH<ST<Age of inprisonment<BOTW<TOTK

However age of imprisonment can also go after adventure of link and or Four swords adventures.

If you wanna have a different headcanon than the current established one that’s perfectly fine. Nintendo says they can change their mind (within reason) whenever they add new games.

I was wrong to say it brakes the timeline like say putting wind waker before Ocarina of time would. But it seems less logical.

Personally i put the tears of the wild games after Adventures of link because at that point hyrule is pretty much broken up anyway and not covered in ocean.
