Why would they talk about multiple ones? The hero of time was not relevant to the MC plot.
If MC takes place on a new Hyrule, or the Koroks Hyrule, post-flood, there would be no reason to mention the Hero of Time. He had nothing to do with the monsters of the MC backstory, the Picori Blade, or the Light Force.
The only hero mentioned is the one who actually had relevance to the plot.

You are completely right that the Hero of Time is irrelevant. However, if it was in fact the Koroks success that resulted in deflooded Hyrule (which I believe it was), then why wouldn't they even mention this flood, or the hero that appeared after the flood? WW was the first game that really tried to establish continuity in the series. Hence the whole backstory about the Hero of Time and why the flood happened. The only other reason for mentioning the Hero of Time in that whole game was for the stupid, unnecessary, and quite honestly unimportant plot point of having WW Link be the Hero of Time reincarnate.
Since it was unnecessary, I can't help but feel the only real reason for including the Hero of Time backstory in WW was for continuity purposes. And since MC was created after WW, why wouldn't they try to establish the same continuity by perhaps mentioning that the Hyrule we were looking at at least was at one point flooded. Even just a vague little reference like that would be fine. But did they? No. Instead they gave us a backstory for a hero and didn't try to establish continuity. What would be the reason for their being no established continuity you ask? Only one that I can think of. It was the first in the timeline and therefore wouldn't have any true connections to other games. At least not any that would be immediately noticeable.
