Others have connected the Abysswalker with Twilight Princess's Link via the wolf similarities.
While others have compared Farron Keep to Faron Woods from Twilight Princess being that they're both similarly named and have the whole corrupted forest state with a poison swamp.
But I'd like to posit that there's more connections between the fallen kingdom of Oolacile and the Twilight Realm of Twilight Princess.
Princess Dusk could be compared to Midna the Twilight Princess. The obvious being dusk and twilight are synonyms for each other.
More than just that surface connection there's the fate's of both of their kingdoms.
In Dark Souls lore, Oolacile is an ancient kingdom whose sorcerers dabbled in "golden sorcery." The term golden is ever present in the world of Hyrule with the golden goddesses and the triforce.
In Twilight Princess's lore, the ancient Hylians had something known as the "Interloper War" where those using black magic attempted to gain the golden triforce by invading the sacred realm.
They were banished to a realm of darkness, the "twilight realm" much like in Dark Souls' Oolacile history where they were overtaken by the abyss for their seeking of this dark sorcery and golden magic.
The hero of Dark Souls 1 travels to the past of the kingdom of Oolacile which in itself could be argued as an homage to the Legend of Zelda in that the hero of that series seems to be always traveling between worlds and time periods.
By the events of Dark Souls 3, the former kingdom of Oolacile no longer exists and in its place is The Abyss which is held back in part by the Abysswatchers of Farron Keep.
During the events of Twilight Princess, the Farron Woods seems to be in a state of limbo just barely holding back the world of the Twilight Realm with its dark histories.
Here are some sources that I used to make this theory:
