But in
TP, people don't really know what's going on because they don't really understand /notice the appearance of the Twilight Realm. And in
ALttP... sure, some maidens are being abducted, but other than that... ? Do people really notice the Dark World? I really don't know, but I don't think so. So, those events, though being important, of course, go by relatively unnoticed, I suppose. And
LA is just a dream, so who would know about that?
^ That could explain why Ganondorf and the legend in
TWW still refer to the Hero of Time; there
have been other Links and adventures in between, but they did not echo as legends in the land of Hyrule. So the one great saviour the people in
TWW still know is the old Hero of Time who beat Ganon when he had already conquered the land.
