1. First of all the two ships look nothing alike what so ever. I'll try to find a picture of one.
2. Read the prologue and you'll see why.
Prologue
Though you fulfilled the Hyrulian prophecy of the Legendary Hero and destroyed the evil tyrant Ganon, the land of Hyrule enjoyed only a precarious peace. "Who know's what threats may arise from Ganon's ashes?" the restless people murmured as they knitted their brows and shook their heads. Ever vigilant, you decided to journey away from Hyrule on a quest for englightenment, in search of wisdom that would make you better able to withstand the next threat to your homeland.
Months of difficult travel passed. After a long and fruitful voyage, you breathed deeply the sea spray from the deck of the ship that carried you home to Hyrule. But your homecoming was not to be. Suddenly a squall struck your ship, and though you valiantly fought the waves, a lightning bolt reduced your ship to splinters.
Your world faded black as you sank into the darkness of the storm-tossed sea with the remains of your craft. But in the cold darkness of the deep, you heard a comforting voice that reminded you of home. It was the voice of Princess Zelda!
"You're going to be alright!" the voice said. "What a relief!"
You opened your eyes to find Princess Zelda standing over you - or was it?! Actually, it turned out to be a woman named Marin. She explained that you had drifted with the wreckage of your ship to the shores of Koholint Island. This mysterious island was unique for the gigantic egg which crowned its central mountain. It was said that a mythical creature, the Wind Fish, lay asleep inside the egg.
You set out in search of your sword and other gear that might have washed up on the beach with you. As you stood in the surf with your recovered sword, a strange owl suddenly appeared and hooted this riddle:
"Awaken the Wind Fish and all will be answered."
"What is the Wind Fish?" you wonder... And what did its awakening portend? Your most mysterious adventure yet, following the riddle of the Wind Fish through the uncharted island of Koholint, is about to unfold.
I underlined the most important points in the prologe.
"Who know's what threats may arise from Ganon's ashes?"
It is simply saying that at this time, Ganon is still dead and has not been revived in any way. Contradicts the ending of Oracle games doesn't it?
Though you fulfilled the Hyrulian prophecy of the Legendary Hero and destroyed the evil tyrant Ganon
Sounds familar? It came from ALttP, there was no legendary hero or Hyrulian prophecy fullfilled in the oracle games now was there? Oh yeah and Ganon was also destroyed in ALttP. Was he not?
Let's say that the order goes like this:next threat to your homeland.
ALttP>>OoS/OoA>>>LA
Well in the oracle series Hyrule was threatened indeed because of the events
that happened in Labyrana and the Holodrum. Zelda was captured and Ganon was returning. So that means there was another threat. By reading the prologue in LA it saids as if the last threat was from ALttP. Am I'm wrong? I doubt it.
3. The Link from LA is confirmed to be the same Link from ALttP. So the only 2 places where the game can lie is before ALttP or after ALttP. It can't be before because of the events happening prior to LA, wouldn't match any other game besides ALttP.
4. And with credit going to a.Threepwood, there is also another possibly piece of evidence. When Link is fighting the Nightmare, in LA, it appears in the form of Link's past enemies, one of the forms is Aganhim, and in what game Link fought Aganhim?
So there you have it. This is how it follows
ALttP>>LA
Any questions or comments would be very much appreciate. I promise I wont bite:) . Enjoy!
