*Spoilers*

I was just playing through Link's Awakening again (it's been awhile), and I realized something... Based on the theme of that game and the age that Link appears in it... I would say that it takes place about 10 years after WW and the Link in Link's awakening is the the same as in WW! Think about it... In the intro to Link's Awakening it shows an
ocean with a
ship sailing on it, but the ship gets caught in a storm. Link is onboard the ship and looks to be in his late teens/early twenties... The ship gets struck by lightening and Link is knocked unconscious and wakes up on an
island! At the games conclusion, he wakes up on a piece of driftwood back in the ocean again. Sounds like it takes place about 10 years after WW right?
Also, if you feel that this theory doesn't work because most of the other elements are things from previous games (i.e., the ocarina, the owl, etc) that WW Link would know nothing about (and therefore he could not dream them), then think about this... In WW, Ganon says that Link is "surely the Hero of Time reborn". So if WW Link is a reincarnation of OoT Link, then deep within his subconscious mind would be the memories of his previous life/lives. In a dream, it would not be overly surprising to find those memories being brought to the surface.
It all seems to fit together pretty nicely I think! Anyone have any thoughts on this?
