Sorry I didn't make this clear before, but I think it's unnecessary to say that some games followed Link as a child, others as an adult after OoT.

The intro to Wind Waker talks about a hero who left Hyrule after saving it, but didn't return when it needed help again. Sounds easy enough to reconcile with Majora's Mask to me, where a hero left Hyrule and didn't return. And Wind Waker seems to set things up nicely for Link to the Past, the next game in the series (I think Phantom Hourglass will make this connection stronger).

So I don't think any games followed Link as an adult after OoT. Unless Twilight Princess does somehow.

Anyway, everyone has there own opinion on how the games flow together timewise anyway. Nintendo's only now really figuring it out with the titles since Ocarina.

For the hell of it, my (perfect) take:

First Link
Minish Cap

Second Link
Four Swords
Four Sword Adventures

Third Link
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask

Fourth Link
Twilight Princess

Fifth Link
Wind Waker
Phantom Hourglass

Sixth Link
Link to the Past

Seventh or Eigth Link:
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Seasons
Link's Awakening

Seventh or Eigth Link:
Legend of Zelda
Adventure of Link
