I always thought they were parallel universes or the same one on an endless time loop with infinite variations

You are correct. The Hyrule Historia outlines the game and the split in Ocarina of Time:

I prefer to think it as it is named - A Legend. In that each timeline is a different take to narrate that Legend.

That would make a ton of sense as the legend (beat Ganon) is the same but details and setting change

But I couldn’t help chuckle at mental image of some grandpa telling his kid the legend (the tears of the kingdom version) of making a weaponzied hover bike torturing koroks

I always thought it was reincarnation of a group of ideal, godlike people

I don’t think I’ve met a true Zelda fan that cares much about the grand timeline(s), or even argues they make sense
