While this is true, I just find it rather odd that so many heros would wear this green hat and tunic and then it would be forgotten by the time MC happens, which as I stated before, can only go after WW/PH in my timeline, so that's at least two heros (one with two adventures) that wore green hats and tunics. Granted there obviously must have been some time between PH and MC if I were to put it there, because much of the land in MC has returned, though it can't be terribly long either, because there is still quite an abundance of water on the MC map. More than most other maps anyways.

I don't think there would have been that big dramatic scene with Midna destroying the mirror if there was another one hiding somewhere.

It's hard to say. How many times has Ganon(dorf) been sealed away or killed in a dramatic scene only to be unsealed or revived? Nintendo has a nasty little habit of doing stuff like that. Changing things on us in light of events in a new game, so I'm not sure if the big dramatic scene means much.

That doesn't explain the Seal War.
The Seal War talks of Ganondorf entering the Sacred Realm, touching the Triforce, turning into Ganon, and then being cast into the Sacred Realm [which he has turned dark] and having a seal cast on it.
The most important part of the Seal War is not that Ganon is sealed, but that the Sacred Realm is sealed. There has to be a seal on the Sacred Realm for aLttP to happen, and this seal is not cast in FSA.

I'm almost inclined to move ALttP to the adult timeline because of this, but there is one major factor preventing me. The fact that in the GBA version, which is Nintendo's most current view of that game in the franchise, the artwork and sprites were changed so that some characters appeared as those in OoX, specifically Link and the Potions shop woman to resemble OoX Link and Maple from Oox. I cannot help but feel that this detail is so minuscule that Nintendo would have just left it alone if they didn't wish to imply a connection between those two games. Only problem is, because Twinrova is dead in the adult timeline, OoX can only occur on the child timeline. Very problematic. Now, I know that this is just a very small factor in a port of an old game, but I'm afraid we must take it as fact. It represent Nintendo's view of that game. You may not like, but we must accept it. The same way that just about every fan of Star Wars was angry when George Lucas stuck Hayden Christenson in the end of Episode VI as Anakin's Ghost. I might really hate it, but I have to accept it as Lucas's current view of the events of Star Wars.

We already know the origins of both though.
aLttP's manual [literal japanese translation, not the corrupted NoA one that changed the story] states that it was created long ago because the people were warned by the gods to create a weapon in case an evil one ever got the Triforce.
OoT adds to that, and says it is also the key to the Sacred Realm.

Hmm. This is what I hate about living in America. Nintendo's either purposeful or accidental censorships and mistranslations.
See above.
And also, as I said: It's not all that important that Ganon is sealed, what's important is that the Sacred Realm has to be sealed, which doesn't happen in FSA.

And yes, the Four Sword is in the Dark World in the GBA verson of aLttP. But that doesn't imply that it teleported him there. That implies that it was moved there by someone...especially since it's shattered.
The Picori Blade/Four Sword was brought by the Picori to save the people from darkness. Nothing is said about it having a connection to the Sacred Realm, and I'm fairly confident it doesn't.

Actually, I agree with you on this one. However, if Ganon was sealed in the Four Sword and then brought to the Sacred Realm, that would explain how he got there. And then, since the blade is shattered, I would actually wager a guess that Ganon found a way to escape himself. After all, Vaati found some way to "corrupt" the Four Sword while he was in it between MC and FS, because in FS you couldn't choose to become Four Links, where as in MC you could. So, perhaps because Ganon was more powerful he could actually escape. Then, later on when this was figured out, they sealed the Sacred Realm between games, or in a game yet to come. Give it a couple hundred years time (since that's what ALttP has to say about how long ago the Imprisoning War was) and people might start to lump those two events together into one all encompassing Seal War.

Also, welcome to ZU Theorizing  I like you, because you're pretty good at debating and giving facts, and you're not afraid to move your timeline around a bit if people show you where something's incorrect. I think you'll do well here.

Well, thank you.
