In any fictional work where time travel is involved, it always makes sense from the point of view of the main character. It does not always makes sense from a strictly historical/chronological point of view, though.
In other words, how does Labrynna look from the point of view of all characters who do not travel in time?
Criteria
- Any time in the past and in the future is the Present sooner or later. There is no privileged point of view along the timeline.
- For the statement above, "alteration of the past" is the same as "alteration of the present", and the latter is obviosuly nonsense. Therefore, an "alteration of the past" is just a plot flaw.
- Still, "alterations of the present" can be nice and functional for comedies ("Back to the Future", "Sliding Doors"), but nobody considers The Legend of Zelda a comedy.
- Let us give priority to what is said and shown in the games; use pure logic, not physics; never fully trust any manual.
- Try and avoid retroactive corrections to continuity as much as possible.

History of the Western Woods
Along the true timeline, since the Maku Tree senses the Essence of Time during Zelda's age, it has to be assumed that the Essence materializes again after it was collected by Link during Ambi's age.
