LCT is just a case of cashing in on the Zelda franchise name in order to sell a Wii peripheral. Miyamoto himself said he tried to get his team to come up with a side story to TP, but it wasn't coming about so he "ultimately suggested that we make a game based on the Twilight Princess that utilized the Wii Zapper." He even stated that in test audiences, no one commented on how it wasn't Zelda. Whether or not he meant it didn't play like a traditional Zelda game, orif he meant it wasn't intended to be a Zelda game is up for debate I suppose.

One could argue that perhaps LCT takes place after TP because Link doesn't have his sword. It could have been what he set out to do when he left Ordon in the TP end credits. Of crouse, the canonisity of it seems off due to the pop-up targets placed in odd places such as the City in the Sky and the Arbiter's Grounds. I suppose Link could have done so, and then shot them all down, but really, it's questionable. Plus the reformation of Stallord is questionable considering his demise. Given all this, but more specifically what Miyamoto stated in the interview, I would say LCT is supposed to be nothing more than a fun game utilizing the Zelda world.
