There is an ongoing debate as to whether or not the Hyrule in Captain N is the same one from the Zelda cartoon series, and there are many arguments that support both sides. For instance, Link, Zelda and Ganon have the same voice actors and general appearances in both shows, but the Triforces are separated all through the Zelda cartoon series with no negative effects to Princess Zelda, whereas in "Having a Ball" their separation nearly kills her.
