Breath of the Wild probably takes place at the end of the Child Timeline after Twilight Princess and Four Sword Adventures, but we still don't know for sure. Most polls done on the topic show that the Child Timeline is the most popular view, and there's a lot of good evidence for it.
It could be the Fallen Hero Timeline, but that Game Theory video demonstrates a misunderstanding of the Zelda timeline and shouldn't be taken seriously. It makes a lot of mistakes, and many of the pieces of evidence the video brings up were debunked long ago.
It could technically be the Adult Timeline, but game developers have stated that it has no connection to The Wind Waker, so probably not. The ending to Wind Waker also wouldn't make much since if Breath of the Wild takes place in the Adult Timeline.
