Another Zelda timeline discussion!

ABF, that's gotta be the worst way possible to tell where each game fits, going by the art. Seriously. Going with that logic, the Four Swords and Minish Cap take place right after Wind Waker since they share the same character art (and it's a proven fact that they do not take place around the same time, or even the same century). And even if you look at the official art, Link only looks a bit older in LA than he does in the Oracles because of Oracles' more cartoony art style. Take a look for yourself:

Oracles Link:

LA Link:



Lazy, where do the manuals state that? I'm looking at both of them right now, and there's absolutely nothing about the games taking place in different realms. They're only described as "a distant land" and "a strange land". Not different realms. And LA took place in the Windfish's dream, not a different realm like the Sacred Realm.
