Las, Warl0rd is right. All the Links are different. Nintendo has confirmed this. Plus, the Windwaker timeline is in the Skyward Sword timeline; the (as of now) timeline goes Skyward Sword --> Ocarina of Time -->Timeline split. The Four Swords games and The Minish Cap are both outside the timeline, and are in their own, self-contained timeline (Going MC --> FS --> FSA if anyone's wondering).
