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.
- 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 Labrynna

(FALSE)
|
.
|
Veran DOES
but Link DOES NOT
arrive from the future
(FALSE)
|
