Star Fox has a serious story? I sure wouldn't say so... Zelda does to a good extent, and Metroid for sure, but I'd put Star Fox a lot closer to Mario than Zelda in tone, myself... and the Zelda games are also hardly paragons of continuity -- see the numerous returning characters throughout vastly different time periods in that series!
Wind Waker may have a serious storyline, but it has just as many plot holes as you are complaining about here in Star Fox Armada -- for if the return of Star Wolf is a problem, shouldn't things like Tingle being in about five different time periods be of concern as well? Really, the best answer I can think of is this. Don't take it too seriously or look at the details of Nintendo storylines very hard. Most of the time there was never a focus on trying to get much continuity right in the first place or, even when there is, to actually make it fully make sense (see Wind Waker) for many Nintendo games to be able to withstand close scrutiny for plot holes.
