And apparently they seem to care about that because otherwise they wouldn't bother linking all these games to each other. Why else would they intentionally point out that LTTP is "long long before Zelda 1" in all the previous (and put it right in the name) in a way that seems to explain where Ganon came from (more or less) and how Hyrule originally claimed the Triforce before it got divided up (the hero Link did it). And then they make Ocarina of Time and intentionally make it during the "imprisoning war" that was mentioned in LTTP. Then they make Wind Waker and intentionally make OOT a LARGE PART of it's main storyline. Don't tell me they don't think about the storyline of the other games when they make it. THEY can't even get away with saying that :D.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
