"Folks just straight up pull lore they made up out their ass an use that as "evidence" for their fan theories."

How could you possibly misspell "Hyrule Historia" that badly?

As a big Zelda lore buff, yeah. People headcanon their own lore way too much and use it to fill in holes as if they were canon. Headcanoning is fine but the problem is when you act like it's canon and try to use it as evidence to prove your theories.

I see this happen less with timeline-related stuff though and more with things relating to other kinds of lore.
