I've never really viewed zelda games as having much of an existing timeline. I know there is one, but the games seem to be more focused on being independent. As such, I have absolutely no problems with link between worlds. Loved it. Best zelda game in a long time in my opinion!

It's kind of hard to miss when the game makes a lot of references to a previous game in the timeline. 

but story is such a small part of a zelda game, it is about exploration and solving puzzles.  If it was an RPG I could see getting upset about it, but for this type of game it just doesn't bother me.  

Plus, you are mostly talking about stuff that happened in a link to the past.  In the timeline that is like 4 games back or something like that.  link between worlds takes place centuries after link to the past.  I think links awakening is the game that is supposed to be immediately prior to it if I remember correctly.
