I mean, TWW takes place in a world where the world was flooded and the Spirit of the Hero never returned to thwart Ganon upon his return, which makes sense considering his spirit left the AT. The events of OoT are also mentioned repeatedly throughout the game.
Events of previous games don't have to be mentioned all the time, anyway. It's not like it would make sense for anyone in ALBW to say, ''Hey, did you ever hear about the heroes who sealed the Wind Demon Vaati with the Four Sword?'' out of nowhere despite the fact that it is something that canonically happened in the past, because that is something that has no relevance in regards to ALBW.
I mean, I think it would make sense for that sort of thing to be mentioned. The Legend of Zelda is a world that seems to be dictated by a perpetual cycle of destruction centered around the same three individuals coming back again and again to fight it out. That there is no in universe record keeping around these events suggests that Hyrule isn't just technologically backwards, but that every historian to ever live there is an idiot.
Actual connections between games make the world seem like a world. At this point, Hyrule still just feels like a fish bowl with nothing else around it and no history.
