Creation of the Triforce

If he did return, they wouldn't have mentioned him leaving in the first place. And they would have mentioned he went to save another world rather than something about a calling.

My reasons for believing he never went home are based on that, the timeline the way I see it and some quotes which I've always thought are odd. "Shouldn't you be going home too?"...or something like that. Just where is Link's home? And since I don't believe in a split timeline theory, he couldn't have gone back yet, because that would cause a paradox. Or what I'm trying to say is: he just didn't go back. OOT's timeline seems solid, unchangeable. Not because noone is capable of changing it, but because noone did/does. And then there was that strange quote about Saria, that she will always be your friend. Like whoever said that knew they won't see eachother again.

It wouldn't create a paradox because Ganon was in the Golden Land when he returned to his own time.

And the ending sequence clearly shows Link in the forest where he started.

Link has to stay out of Hyrule for seven years, because otherwise, he could meet his younger Hero Of Time self. That itself wouldn't be a real problem, but the fact is that adult Link never met himself. It may sound like Link has no choice, but that's not what I'm saying. He never met himself because he never met himself. MM Link apparently decided not to go back until at least his Hero Of Time self would be sent back in time. Maybe he left Termina, but he did not return to Hyrule.

They are the same person, showing as how Link can use the master sword to go back and forth through ages.

Yes, but:

Link was asleep for seven years. That means that during those seven years, he wasn't in Hyrule at all. Not long after he had woken up, he went back in time. This caused Link to be able to walk around Hyrule, doing some quests, while he also still was asleep. This caused two Links and some items to exist at the same time. However, because Zelda sent one Link back in time, this paradox was no longer. I'm assuming that she sent him to the last moment in time he left his childhood behind (so after meeting Nabooru), in order to still be able to spend those seven years the way he wants to spend them. After his younger self would've been sent back, he could take his place again if he wanted.

Maybe Tingle is the incarnation of the Godesses. Maybe Vaati is really a saint and the world is messed up.these are empty ideas with no proof.

Yes. The main problem with the theory is that there isn't really a need for it. Believing that the Goddesses made is more plausible and makes perfect sense as it is.

This reminds me the split-time theory. That OoT separeted Hyrule in 2 dimensions. One with Link as a child, and the other with a Adult Zelda, a sealed Ganondorf, but no Link. Nice post LadyNintendo
