I don't think it says he's the same as OoT, only that he was alive for the flood. That timeline Ronald posted is not contrary to my argument.Wait, if you're trying to aid Locke in his argument, saying that the King of Ocarina of Time died at the very beginning of your argument (much less anywhere) sure doesn't accomplish that goal.
Oh, and, Locke. I totally didn't think about him saying that, and I don't know why, as I just played the ending of The Wind Waker for the Ganondorf battle a few days ago. I mean, that's the part that comes right out and says that he's the same King as the one in Ocarina of Time. Wow... Well, thanks for bringing it up.
The only times he talks about the HoT legend/SW is in the context of a legend. When he talks about the flood, he talks like he was there at the time (and was King).
