I just thought of something.

Interestingly, if one'd place Breath of the Wild at the very end of the ALttP timeline, it would imply Link failed in Adventure of Link. That game is, the direct sequel of the original, has Link prevent Ganon's resurrection, which the Moblins are trying to accomplish by using Link's blood on Ganon's ashes Dracula-style. Anyway we could assume the 100 years ago memories in BotW are right after AoL, Link more or less dies and Ganon returns for BotW. Coincidentally this would fit with what I said earlier, the 10,000 years ago part is then a (okay a very loose one) retelling of the backstory to A Link to the Past.

Anyway nerd-mode off, I know no-one really cares, I don't really either but I do find it amusing to speculate.

EDIT: For reference, this is what Nintendo published in the Hyrule Historia book in 2011, later they said A Link Between Worlds and Triforce Heroes go after Link's Awakening, and before the NES game:
