Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess Theory A
1 -- Hyrule Castle (OoT) and north of Hyrule Field (TP) This is placed here simply because OoT's Hyrule Castle is in the northernmost part of Hyrule, and TP's is in the center. Also, in OoT, all of Hyrule Field is directly south of Hyrule Castle instead of surrounding it. Finally, at the end of OoT, Hyrule Castle and Castle Town are utterly destroyed, so it is only logical that Hyrule Castle was moved.
2 -- Lon Lon Ranch (OoT) and Hyrule Castle (TP) The main reason is that the areas of Hyrule Field in every direction surrounding both areas share almost the exact same size, but also because theoretically, Hyrule Castle was rebuilt in the Lon Lon Ranch area (after Ganondorf destroyed it) because that is where the races met and became allies at the end of OoT during the credits. This is debatable, but it appears as though Hyrule Castle was rebuilt in that area for whatever reason.
3 -- Eastern Hyrule Field: Obvious, right? They are both the largest area of Hyrule Field and are in precisely the same location.
4 -- Kakariko Village and Hidden Village The Hidden Village is not only in the same location of the map as the Hidden Village (relative to areas 1, 2, & 3), but there is also evidence given in TP because a Sheikah descendant, Impaz, lived in the village.
5 -- Zora's River Simply because they are both Zora's River and in the same place relative to areas 1, 2, 3, & 4.
6 -- Lake Hylia Obviously because both are called "Lake Hylia" and are in the same location relative to area 2.
7 -- Gerudo Desert Needless to explain, Gerudo Desert is west of Lake Hylia. It was probably undiscovered at the time OoT takes place.
8 -- Faron Woods The area of the forest not present in OoT, it's most likely directly south of Lon Lon Ranch (in OoT), but undiscovered at the time. It is obviously not the same forest that is in OoT.
9 -- Gerudo's Fortress and Arbiter's Grounds This is debatable, but it seems logical because they are in similar places on the map (if Gerudo's Fortress was located any further north on TP's map it would collide with Snowpeak), and both are, obviously, desert fortresses. Auru (TP) tells Link that the road to Arbiter's Grounds has become impassible, so with Gerudo Valley not present in TP, we can assume that something happened in the Gerudo Valley area preventing entry to the Gerudo's Fortress.
10 -- Kokori Forest and Kakariko Village (TP)? This sounds rather odd, of course, but based on the locations of other areas, it seems to fit. Maybe something happened to Kokori Forest? Perhaps it was burned to ruins? Kakariko Village in TP is rather bare and gulch-like, so maybe it's possible. At the end of OoT, when the races united, the Kokori were in Lon Lon Ranch, so that must mean they left the forest to join the rest of Hyrule, leaving Kokori Forest without life except for the Deku Sprout...
