In regards to the original topic here, LA is a direct sequel to ALTTP. Many sources confrim this. The Oracles were meant as a stand alone plot anyways as the story was written by Capcom NOT Nintendo (they did supervise the Oracles though). The boat in the Oracles isn't even the same one from LA. ALTTP/LA is definatly confirmed (THe end boss seems to imply this)while OOX/LA is not confirmed. Keep that in mind.
While I agree that LA is a direct sequel to ALTTP, there is no FOR SURE evidence of this. No one has confirmed LA's or OoX's placement. Yes, there is a lot of evidence for it to go after ALTTP, but there is evidence for the OoX connections as well. Nothing is confirmed, if it was then we wouldn't be arguing it.
