okay, it's hard to describe, so I'll do it roughly.
Minish Cap is the first one. The evidence they give for this is that the Hero they mention is the Hero of Man, not the Hero of Time, which is how past incarnations of Link are referred to in every other game. The game also tells the story of how the reoccurring hero first obtains his silly little Peter Pan hat, which he has in every other game.
Next is, Four Swords, I think, because it explains how Ganondorf gets the Trident. This game may or may not feature the same Link as Minish Cap.
Then it's Ocarina of Time, which definitely features a new Link. Ocarina of Time splits the timeline into Universe A and Universe B, as Zelda sends link back at the end of the game to live his childhood, which creates two dimensions, one with Link, one without. And Miyamoto has verified this particular part of the theory to be true in an interview about Wind Waker.
The next game in Universe A is Majora's Mask, as it's about young Link (same one from OoT) looking for Navi.
This is followed by Link's Awakening, which, they claim, takes place immediately after Majora's Mask, as Link (the same Link from OoT, MM) is trying to get back to Hyrule via boat, which is how the game starts off.
This is followed by the first Zelda game for the NES. Link (The same link from OoT, MM and LA) returns to Hyrule and finds, that even though he warned the king of Ganon's evil intents, Ganon still managed to find the Triforce of power and is, currently, using it to wage war against Hyrule.
Next is Zelda II, which is the, obvious, followup to Zelda one, same Link, continuation of the story, etc.
Then it'sLink To The Past, which is a different Link, once again, fighting a reincarnation of Ganon.
Meanwhile in Universe B, you have a different Link for WindWaker. The return of Ganon and the absence of Link mentioned in the opening sequence is an obvious reference to the events that happened at the end of OoT where Link was sent back in time.
They also theorize that Oracle of Ages, and Oracle of Season where supposed to be taking place simultaneously in universe A and universe B, but they don't discuss which one was in which universe.
Keep in mind, that i don't agree with every point of this theory, but I like it, I find it more endearing then alot of theories I've heard.
