I hope BotW is revealed to take place in a thus-far-totally-unsuspected fifth timeline.

Either would be ideal. IMO the timeline just overly constrains cool story possibilities. Give me Mario universe, or Bioshock. Or Final Fantasy (Tingle is Gilgamesh).

This one is Crisis On Infinite Zeldas and it merges all the timelines into one.

I think the strength of a timeline split is that it lets Nintendo explore wildly different visual and world styles while also retaining some consistency, and giving 'place' to those styles. I think that's good, because it's given rise to three very distinct types of Zelda; the OoT/TP semi-realistic high fantasy, the cartoony Wind Waker timeline, and the strangely barren and quiet overhead games in the downfall timeline. You definitely don't need that framework, but I do feel it helps. Final Fantasy is a good contrast, because while it has led to wildly different styles in games it kind of feels like they aren't organizationally capable of 'going back'. It might be psychological or it might be unrelated, but I think it says something about that timeline structure that its series was the one that gave rise to Link Between Worlds, while Final Fantasy has struggled to do a good game in their old style. There's Bravely Default, sure, but if they had to spin classic FF gameplay off into its own series then it shows how much trouble they have approaching the concept. The only problem I have with it is that the pre-split part of the timeline really has no place in that outside of timeline wankery itself. It doesn't really have a style that's deliberately distinct from the Twilight Princess fork, and I feel like that's a missed opportunity. Skyward Sword's got sort of a bent of 'ancient mystic technology' with the sword-AIs and at least one of the dungeons, and that's a neat aesthetic that it did well at as well as meshing well with the fancy ruins you see in some other Zelda games, but it doesn't do enough with it in my mind. I just wish the leaned into it further, give that part of the timeline its own identity.

I hope BotW establishes that the Zelda games and the Monster Hunter games take place on the same world, just different continents.

Breath of the Wild's ending is described as abrupt, and both question-raising and utterly unsurprising when Samus' ship flies overhead and Hyrule explodes.

Somewhat, but it wasn't that canned. In my second playthrough of LBW I bought ALL of the items from Ravio in two or so visits because I knew how much I had to save up and what I should get first. It was awesome being such a bad-rear end.

There's also the Goron merchant in Wind Waker. He wears a big ole hat, but there's definitely a Goron under it. Gorons didn't really change all that much from Skyward Sword times. There's really nowhere else to go from peak evolution.

There's a Smash Bros mod that recolors Ganondorf so he looks like Trump, replacing all his voice clips with Trump sound bites. I used to think it was funny.

If Amazon knows the month but not the specific day they just say the last day of the month.

I thought it was generally agreed the Switch would be out in March? Or was that just guesswork due to the BotW release date?

Switch has been confirmed for March 2017. BotW has not been given a date other than just "2017".
