Sometime later Ganon gets trapped by the sages.
Ganon uses Aghnim to try to break the seal.ALTTP happens,and a new Link gets the whole Triforce,he later gives it to the royal family.(This explans why the king had the whole Triforce in AOL's backstory,and why it's in the castle at the start of the Oracle games.)

Ganon escapes from being sealed again,he sends his pet bird to kidnap girls with pointed ears.

Link and Tetra set out to find a new land,and PH happens.
Very nice theory
I still don't think it is possible for LttP (and, by extension, FSA) to happen in the Young Timeline if ooT is indeed the Seal War (and this was confirmed by Miyamoto), but I like this theory...
Explain the triforce from OoX-LoZ. At the end of OoX we see the triforce flying away. In LoZ the triforce is together and in the same place.
That is just a nice cutscene. The triforce is supposed to continue in the castle in the end of OoX.
OoX was supposed to be a connection between LttP and LoZ. In LttP, the triforce is retrieved from the SR by Link and, presumably, sent back to the castle. It was there in OoX. This leads directly into AoL backstory (AoLbs), where the ToC is hidden, and, them into LoZbs, when Ganon steals the ToP and Zelda hides the ToW.
The continuity there works pretty well...
The manual just means that FSA takes place after FS,not that it's the same Link.
It says that Link fought and defeated Vaati before. When they refer to TMC hero, they say that he was a 'young lad', even though we know that his name was also Link. This was done so to prevent confusion. When they refer to Link, in FSa, they are referring to the one from that game.
And as for the OOX-LOZ,I only have OOA,so that is a goof on my part.
But the OOX games are very hard to place.
I have to disagree with you on that. When you play both games (and the linked ending, of course), TRR, TMC, LoZ/AoL, LttP and LA, you see a lot of connections between OoX and the rest of them.
For example, both Labrynna and Holodrum appear in the AoL map. See
this map for comparison. Labrynna is supposed to be Region 2 and Holodrum Region 5.
You'll also notice that both the Subrosians (as the Salona) and the Stalfos Pirates appear in TRR. (And TRR world is pretty much similar to TWW map, this is another reason to why the 2D games work better on the AT. But this is a different subject.)
OoX and LA share the same game engine, and a lot of common enemies. This is the case for LttP too. And remember the similar artwork from ooX and LttP/LA, even though this isn't really important.
Also, by that map I posted, please take a look at region 4. It is a perfect match for the world seen in PH. The comparison is
here if you want to annalyse it better.
And the mere fact that the trident is there in OoX is, at least for me, an indication that the game is supposed to come after FSA (which is the first game in which Ganon has the trident).
Also, please notice that the three oracles (Nayru, Din and Farore) appear in Hyrule in TMC.
All this makes me think that OoX is actually one of the easiest archs to place in a timeline.
not sure what your argument there is...i just read the manual you posted and it says absolutely nothing about it being the same link. it says that vaati returned and kidnapped princess zelda who was saved by a childhood friend who defeated vaati or so everyone thought. there was obviously plenty of time for peace for them to believe there was no more threat. if it was the same link then he would be around the same age and im sure it takes more than a year or two for everyone to get over an attack of a great power. there is no solid evidence in there to say its the same link or even that the games are close together. its like the back story of WW. the backstory says ganondorf was defeated, then he returned but there was no hero and that the world was plunged into darkness. it was a wide open ending just like the one in the manual and the rest of the story begins 100 years after that back story.
the day that vaati came back after being sealed in FS could take place 100 years after the original sealing that was discussed in that manual. it never specifies how much time passed. it never specified that it was the same link or anything of the sort. it basically said vaati was sealed and the world was at peace...or was it? dont speak fact when your backup for that fact doesnt even state the fact youre trying to argue.
I have to agree with you that there can be multiple interpretations there. But please notice that they refer to the hero from TMC just as a 'young lad', but refer to the one from FS as 'Link'. Later they will refer to the main character in FSA as Link too. I think this is more than enough to say that Link from FS is the same one from FSA....
It is inside the Four Sword Palace, if i recall correctly... wich means that Ganon escaped, and also, Vaati did, so.. where is he?
Hmm, the sacntuary itself is not in the palace (the one in the DW), but the 4S was in that dungeon and it was broken, which means Ganon escaped. But I don't think Vaati was sealed there too. He was killed in the end of FSA, right?
I used to have a theory that he survived and became Dethl from LA (they are pretty similar enemies), but there is absolutely no evidence for that yet...
