Miyamoto, care about story? I don't think he does, no. One little quote that could potentially be interpreted that way doesn't counter all the evidence there is that he doesn't care...
Twilight Princess happens at the same time as Wind Waker, just in an alternate history... TP is the future of the OoT world Link returns to (he and Zelda save Hyrule and return to the past, where the disaster is averted); WW is the future of the world he left (because the hero was gone -- remember the WW intro, where 'the evil returned' (obviously Ganon breaking his seal again) but there was no hero to stop him (because he had returned to his original timeline)... Iwata explained that in an interview sometime.
Well after the game came out.
Yeah, I'd probably bet on "he made it up later on in order to try to explain the broken Zelda timeline"... :)
LA going after LttP is generally accepted, yeah.
Oracles is the one I'm not sure about too, as you say... I don't know if it has a clear place in the timeline. "They're in their own universe" is as good an answer as I've heard, really.
Quote:Twilight Princess' location in the storyline I'm not clear on. If anyone has some sort of official statement on when this took place I'd like to read it. I think I recall something about it taking place way after Wind Waker but I'm not sure.

Quote:I personally place Link's Awakening after LTTP, using the LTTP Link, as that was the original way it went down and Miyamoto's later statements are too fuzzy (plus it makes the appearence of LTTP elements make sense if you are one to think of Lord Jabu Jabu as possibly the Wind Fish).
