Need quick help - timeline problems

I´m trying to convince someone, that TWW plays more than 100 years after OoT; I´m trying to reason it with logic (if it were only 100 years, someone would remember the flood, the people wouldn´t have forgotten the hylian language etc.), but he just won´t believe me, because he found that old Aonuma interview, where he states 100 years.
So could anyone give me an undeniable proof plz?
Maybe an in-game quote or something? I don´t know why, but some sites say that it´s stated in the intro ("many centuries have passed"), others don´t (ZU e.g.)
As I do have the German version (in German it´s "long time"), I don´t know what the english intro really says.

Once, long ago, this land of Hyrule was turned into a world of shadows by Ganon, who sought to obtain the power of the gods for his own evil ends.

My power alone could not stop the fiend, and our only choice was to leave the fate of the kingdom in the hands of the gods...

When the gods heard our pleas, they chose to seal away not only Ganon, but Hyrule itself...and so, with a torrential downpour of rains from the heavens...

Our fair kingdom was soon buried beneath the waves, forgotten at the bottom of the ocean.

Yet all was not lost. For the gods knew that to seal the people away with the kingdom would be to grant Ganon's wish for the destruction of the land.

So, before the sealing of the kingdom, the gods chose those who would build a new country and commanded them to take refuge on the mountaintops.

Those people were your ancestors.

Hundreds of years have passed since then...

So long as Ganondorf was not revived, Hyrule would remain below, never waking from its slumber.

That's the scene where Link and Tetra meet the King of Hyrule, in case you're wondering.

I don't understand why some people still say it's a hundred years, anyway. I guess some people just find one mistranslated interview easier to believe than the game itself.

When King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule shows himself in the game, he states that centuries have passed since the flood.

I'm astounded that there are still people out there who go by that severely outdated interview. Anyone whos played TWW should know that its pretty obvious that some centuries have passed between OoT and TWW, not just one.

Same here.

I knew it has been said somewhere in the game, though, I just didn´t know where exactly

But thanks a lot, guys! I just didn´t want to play the whole game only for one quote

I don't think it only 100 from oot line. it could be like anytime.. the king says hundrests of years in WW,, that doesn't really neccary need to mean only one 100...
