Well, my reasoning is, the timeline stated in Hyrule Historia basically gives us 2 options:

1. LttP's story was written out of the continuity, and became a "what-if" scenario that makes it not connected to any of the recent games.

2. LttP's story was the result of a 3rd unexplaned timeline split caused by somebody going back in time and changing history so that Link wouldn't die (the details of this can only be speculated on).

I am speculating that a 3rd timeline split happened because Zelda saw that Link got defeated by Ganon, and wanted to change that, so she went back in time to try again, which resulted in OoT... it makes the most sense to me, and ties everything together perfectly.

But for some reason, most people here seem to prefer the "what-if" option, which is kind of lame. I'd rather LttP be connected to the other games, even if it's only through untold events and the player has to fill in the blanks themselves.
