It's essentially that through the magic of times wimey stuff you somehow ended up with some Dna from any link or Zelda from any timeline. It's not really that important becuase it's confusing. It really just explains why you can be a different race from Hylian and still be descended.

So, wait. Why not just, IDK, make the PCs descendants of the Sages or newly awakened sages or any sort of chosen figure that got some hero juice from the godesses? You know, something that'd be less convoluted than everyone being the usual blonde sword guy even when they're not, and this way you completely avoid having to bring up timelines too.
