Oracles... now I remember us discussing this before! Can't believe I forgot... right. My argument was that it's impossible for Oracles to come between LttP and LA because in Oracles Link is young while in LttP and LA he is a teenager. Yes, the sprite is the same, but the cutscene and manual art gives it away.
So given his age, Oracles is either a solo duology or comes after MM. The LoZ/AoL Link is also older, the TWW Link to the best of our knowledge has no Hyrule castle like that to go to, and I just doubt that FS was meant to use that Link (given that Oracles was made before either Four Swords).
Lazy: Yes, the LA island is in another realm (a dream). Oracles... I don't know. It could be interpreted as being another world or something or it could be interpreted as transporting you to somewhere that needs your help... given that characters from the other games are there too (and not just as reincarnations I think) I think it makes more sense to say that you were transported to a trouble spot somewhere in the same world that Hyrule is in.
