The Deku Sprout stated Link was a Hylian. Canon. Fact. Valid.

But he wears a similar belt and belt-buckle akin to the Kokiri's!!!!

Whelp, you've got me there. Excellent detective work.

The reasons I think these things is as follows: in OOX they include WAY TOO MANY re-used elements from other games, such as OOT, MM, ALTTP, LA, LOZ, and AOL, for them NOT to be the same Link as the rest on the Child Timeline, ... and thus it IS possible for them all to be the SAME Link!!!!

Okay, here goes...
LoZ/AoL and ALttP/LA cannot have the same Links because...
- The back of the box states that ALttP Link is the predecessor of LoZ Link.
- In LoZ, Hyrule is barren save for a few villages in regions north of Death Mountain with the south having only some caves containing civilians. In ALttP, everybody lives mostly south of Death Mountain in big villages. In order for one to be directly before/after the other, Hyrule would have to completely change in an extremely short amount of time.
- Ganon dies in both ALttP and LoZ. In order for one to take place directly after the other, there must have been some revival, but nothing of the sort is mentioned.
ALttP/LA and OoT/MM cannot have the same Link because...
- ALttP's backstory tells of the Imprisoning War where Ganon is sealed in the Dark World as a legend. In OoT, we see these events unfold. So there must be hundreds of years between OoT and ALttP.
- OoT Link's mother brought him into the forest as a last resort to save him. ALttP Link had a living uncle. If OoT Link had an uncle, he probably would have been raised by him.
- Hyrule's geography is slightly different. Most notably the location of Kakariko Village. Since Link is referred to as a kid in both ALttP and OoT, it's unlikely the whole village could relocate in such a short amount of time.
- Link is introduced to Zelda for the first time in both ALttP and OoT.
- In ALttP, Ganon is still sealed in the Dark World, putting it in the Adult Timeline, in which Link disappeared from so he could have his childhood.
LoZ/AoL and OoT/MM cannot have the same Link because...
- The reasons above implying that ALttP takes place before LoZ and that OoT takes place long before ALttP.
- Hyrule in OoT is similar to ALttP in that it is absolutely nothing like LoZ Hyrule.
- LoZ Impa is clearly different from OoT Impa, suggesting she is a descendant, which means it's a different age altogether.
I'm sure others could throw on more reasons.
The thing here is, it's okay to use this BS Zelda BS as evidence, but not when you have to ignore facts and clear implications from the actual games.
