Why don't you go ABF yourself, ABF.
Lazy, the problem with basing much of your timeline theories on NOA's booklets is that during the NES/SNES era, they were notorious for their false information and bad translations. Hell, they even released their own official Zelda timeline just a few years ago which made no sense whatsoever. If anything, the only real argument one can have to place LA right after LttP is that is was made right after that game. But even then Nintendo could have shuffled it around since its place in the timeline was not absolute. Right now I think LA could go just about anywhere, but it makes sense for it to take place after the Oracles. Probably a bit more sense to take place after LttP, but there's really no definite answer right now.
