I hope you're not implying that Gustaf is the Hero of Men

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?
Why would the mention the flood? Hardly anyone in tWW mentioned it, and after another couple of hundred or thousand years, there's absolutely no reason anyone would remember it, especially since something new came around, like the hero of men. It's like, nobody talks about the 30-year war in Europe which occured in the 17th century, but many people are talking about WW2.

The argument of continuity isn't doesn't quite hold, IMO. tWW is directly linked to OoT and share a number of things (same Ganon, Master Sword, ancient Hylian language, ToC left in OoT and picked up in WW, etc and so on). They didn't mention it just because they wanted it to connect for the heck of it, it was a main part of the story. tMC doesn't have anything to do with other games, so they didn't say "after the flood, blah blah blah" but instead left a few hints here and there, like the Triumph Forks, the Goron Merchant, the sea, etc.

Another thing you might want to look at is technology and living standards. OoT being first makes much sense since it has a much more midieval feel to it than other Zelda games.
