I'd really love to explain it, but you need to know the end of OoT in order to really get into discussion about it. Lemme know if you don't want to hear spoilers and I'll get started...

Okay well Wind Waker takes place after Ocarina of Time. Usually, or at least in some cases, at the end of Zelda games, the same Link comes back in the next one. For some reason (aka a spoiler) the Link in WW is not the same Link as the one in OoT. And for some reason (another spoiler) is why you don't understand the prologue.

If you want to get the explination, lemme know. If not, then get playin through OoT!
