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 believe MC Hyrule to be the result of the Koroks success.

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.

Well that's a human [or Gerudo technically]
You can't reincarnate a mirror.

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.

I once believed so too, but I've come to accept OoX on the adult timeline.
Twinrova are either reincarnations, or a fulfillment of their promise in OoT to come back and haunt you.
If Ganon's 'soul' can be rebirthed, I think it's possible for Twinrova to do the same.
I've thought for quite awhile now that OoX
can go on the adult timeline, but it wasn't till last week that I actually put them there.
In Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland [which I see no reason to discard] Hyrule is a series of islands [suggesting a post-WW placement] and there are references to OoX.
That's what made me move it, though if you discard FPTRR as canon, then they don't have to be.

Hmm. This is what I hate about living in America. Nintendo's either purposeful or accidental censorships and mistranslations.

Yeah, NoA absolutely raped the aLttP manual.
I can link you if you'd like to see comparisons of the literal translation to the NoA version.

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.

But like I said, that explains how Ganon is sealed in the Four Sword, and that explains how he got into the Sacred Realm,
but it doesn't explain how the Sacred Ream itself has a seal on it.
That's a big part of aLttP.
Halfway through the game, Aganhim proclaims that the seal on the Sacred Realm [not the seal on Ganon] has been broken. If aLttP is on the child timeline, an explanation for how the Sacred Realm itself has a seal on it is needed.
Well, thank you.[/quote]
