(Undid revision 1072427 by Reign (Talk) Neither of those quotes specify which Hyrule. Books like the Historia and Encyclopedia state there are different iterations of Hyrule. Better to wait for an official statement written by Nintendo than speculate.)

(Undid revision 1072429 by Editorguy117 (Talk) If it was a successor Hyrule Rauru would not be like "what do you mean you're princess of Hyrule we founed it". The game could not possibly be more obvious about it being the original founding.)
