Something else occurred to me just now, that means what happens during Majora's Mask couldn't happen whilst Ocarina of time's Link was sleeping for 7 years. The very key point being in the ocarina.
Zelda, in OoT, gave Link the Ocarina to open the Door of Time, thus allowing Ganondorf into the Sacred Ream and to have access to the Triforce.
Zelda, same age, in MM, gave Link the same Ocarina as a keepsake because of the power it holds.
There is only one Ocarina of Time, but to kick off both events, there would need to be two. Since OoT Link gave the ocarina back to Zelda only after the 7 year gap, there isn't a second ocarina kicking about for child Zelda to give freely.
So either way the events would have changed the future, if only by preventing the Door of Time being opened in the first place (thus no other Link could get in, and Ganondorf couldn't reach the Sacred Ream. Thus the adventure Link took as an adult wouldn't be able to take place.
However, it did, because Wind Waker's introduction refers specifically to that Link, and that adventure.
By the way, quick note, your facts list is a little misleading on the last two points. Majora's Mask Link is the same age as child Link, not adult Link, and TP does take place in Hyrule.
