Yes. Sleeping Zelda is kept at the beginning in order to maintain as much of the original intent as possible. Personally I see the meaning of the Sleeping Zelda story as having more importance than the rest of the backstory (in terms of impact on other games), but the Triforce obviously can't be where it is in AoL after OoT. So, like the IW and ALttP, the Sleeping Zelda story and the hiding of the Triforce of Courage are split up.

Unlike the IW, however, Sleeping Zelda could come later, and I acknowledge that. I just see a naming tradition present in TWW and so I consider them one and the same for the sake of simplicity.

1) The maidens seal away the Four Sword at the end of FSA, and this seal is identical to an old official art depiction of Ganon sealed in the ALttP seal, which in turn inspired one of the stained glass windows in Hyrule Castle depicting Ganon's seal. I'd say, based on the comparison, that the Four Sword was sealed in the Sacred Realm.
2) See above.
3) The Triforce has to go back to the Sacred Realm sometime after OoT for ALttP to happen. This could happen in either TWW, AoL, or OoS/OoA.
4) No appearance doesn't mean they are gone; they weren't even conceptualized yet.
5) See above.
6) FSA retcons ALttP.
7) Actually, this is unnecessary.
8) See OoS/OoA.
9) They were sealed by the maidens at the end of FSA. Agahnim opens new portals to the Dark World that are not Moon Gates.
10) See 4.
11) See above.
Okay for one thing, that wasn't originally posted by Skylarkff. It was me. Also, what part of "above" am I supposed to see. There's a lot of above in this thread.

1) Getting a little carried away there. Obviously, the sword was not sealed in the SR, because we can still see it in its pedestal after it was sealed.
2) Where?
3) Yes, the Triforce went back to Hyrule as the Lightforce. The problem is how it got back to the SR.
4) So? Why didn't Nintendo put them in the GBA version then?
5) Where?
6) Sorry, I don't know what retcon means.
7) Erm...no. Agahnim killed the king. Where did the king come from? Did Hyrule just decide it wanted a king again?
8) Don't have OoX, so I can't see it whenever I want.
9) Based on what?
10) So you're saying that when the Gerudo disappeared, the Pyramid they built disappeared too? Wow. Two inconsistencies in one aspect.
11) Where?

Your turn.
