There are other hints that it's a Child Timeline game, such as Castle Town Ruins being laid out in the same way as in Twilight Princess, and Kakariko Village specifically being the home of the Sheikah (with the real Kakariko, called the Hidden Village, being deep in a canyon in TP] the Kakariko in this game is surrounded by elevated ground on all sides). The hero crossing the sea bit could be a reference to the Downfall Timeline (Link leaving at the end of Oracles leading up to Link's Awakening) or The Wind Waker (the Triforce Chart fetch quest). However, they are considered separate titles and take place in different timelines. Four Swords Adventures covers roughly the same events as A Link to the Past but with different locations, characters, and a slightly different explanation for the Big Bad. It might reference the other timeline, but doesn't necessarily mean the events she describes didn't happen in this one.Kind of puts a damper on its credibility. Recently it's been discovered that the other half of Zelda's speech describes the hero "crossing the seas in search of the golden power", so the ceremony refers to two different timelines.Just a 10,000-year gap, which is when the backstory for BotW takes place, is the gap between the Stone Age and modern era for real-world humans. We don't know the time gap between the end of Four Swords Adventures and the 10,000 years prior to BotW, but it would at least have to be hundreds of thousands of years, given the technological advancement needed to make not only the Guardians and Divine Beasts, but also things like the Sheikah Towers and Slate as well. Meaning the 10,000 years ago backstory of BotW had to take place after TP and FSA. Plus Ganon, Ganondorf's beast form, didn't first show up in the Child Timeline until the end of Twilight Princess. Also, 10,000 years before BotW, there was a successful sealing attempt of Calamity Ganon using the Sheikah Magitek Guardians and Divine Beasts and it's already been confirmed that BotW takes place after Ocarina of Time and that Twilight Princess takes place 100 years after OoT. Towards the end of BotW however, Zelda says Ganon has given up on reincarnating himself. However, Four Swords Adventures comes after that game in the timeline, and features a reincarnation of Ganon who had originally been killed at the end of Twilight Princess. The 10,000 years ago backstory from BotW takes place hundred of thousands of years after Four Swords Adventures in the Child TimelineOne of the recovered memory cutscenes has Zelda making reference to the Era of Twilight, which is a reference to Twilight Princess.
