The more I learn about the totk history and lore the less I understand where we are in the timeline. Minor Spoilers?

I'm honestly beginning to suspect botw happens next after skyward sword like 10k years after the last disaster when sheikah flourish there's islands in the sky etc etc because what??? Is going on??

I made it to kakariko all excited to learn new lore because apparently all the archaeologist nerds are gathering there (like me lol) and pretty much the first guy I actually spoke to was like 'yeah there's no record of zelda as a name outside of our own princess' TF DO YOU MEAN??? SHE'S NAMED AFTER HYLIAS MORTAL FORM ORIGINATOR OF THE ROYAL LINE ZELDA IS THE NAME THAT FOUNDED HYRULE WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR INFORMATION??!!

Like even if we assume its the post wind waker re founding that's still led by Zelda. What is going on.

People knew about the zonai, their name and how to translate their language! But apparently some King Rauru founded hyrule with no mention of a zelda?? There's a Sonia hanging around with the blonde hair? Do we don't we know anything about 10k years ago??

It's hyrules founding but there's ganon and rito and a new race no ones ever heard of that's apparently ancient but there's no record of them anywhere but botw/totk and the deku tree remembers link and the koroks are descendants of the kokiri and the sheikah have teleportation technology fused with zonai stuff but the zonai are from the sky and the sheikah never lived in the sky and also there's an underground going on with all the races and where is hylia or link in all this?? WHO KNOWS.

I appreciate Nintendo not taking their timeline too seriously but what the fresh blue cheese is all this.
