I thought it was affected by Link, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's more than likely that LA takes place after ALttP anyway, and I do have it at the end of the timeline, so I'm fine with this.



No, they do. The only real differences are that Jabun is a darker shade than Jaby Jabu (which could easily be attributed to the fact that he had been underwater far more than Jabu Jabu, while Jabu Jabu was more "dry"), and the arm holding the lantern, which is a little hard to explain, admittedly.



Well, I'm pretty sure we know he didn't, as he isn't present in TP.



This is true, however that's a weak argument, given that OoX tended to recycle characters so much.
