As much as I hate to defend any of this crap. About the other lands thing. Link's Awakening depends on the concept that Link left Hyrule for more adventure (or something along those lines) before the whole Windfish thing happened and was either coming back from that other land or going there.
Oracle of Ages and Seasons show two other lands that Hyrule apparently has friendly connections with. I can imagine (I forget exactly) Link went to those places under Zelda's request (since she shows up if you beat both of them) and since a version of Impa* is there to greet him, but that seems more like a request from a friend then him working for the Royal Family. Also it doesn't seem to be the same Link as from OoT anyway, but you have to assume that those places still existed even back then! I mean one of them had their own monarchy that apparently has a long and happy history of it's own!
Hyrule is unique as it is the land created by the three Goddesses, but I won't get into that.
But I still think this is crap. Instead of using one of these places (although not sure if OoA and OoA existed when this was written) the author makes up places. This alone wouldn't be so bad if she didn't just mention the names and everyone just nods as if it's common knowledge. I don't even get into how generic some...okay all of this crap is!
*Apparently three people just keep getting reborn: Zelda, Link, and Impa - some say Ganon too, but he’s always the same guy so no… How did Impa earn the right to be reborn as Zelda’s Guardian? Is it a sage thing? Oh well... good for her.

Anyway I she had just changed the names this would be a sucky story instead of a REALLY sucky fanfic... I think my soul and faith in humanity is dying...
