It's a reference at least, but given the time elapse from the background of the story (10,000 years from the first incident with Calamity Ganon), and who knows how long since the other games (not to mention in the WW timeline, they founded a completely new Hyrule on a completely different continent, sooo there's that), I just don't think it's really plausible.
Basically where I ended up with it too - nice little easter egg perhaps, but very slim chance it's anything other than that. The real hard evidence is... well, pretty poor hahaha.

Lol I got scammed today! Without a warning or confirm and my permission and I unwillingly purchased a red potion by misstake by just pressing the ''A'' on the item inside the shop!
I then see my rupees ticking down! Eh!
Was the GBA game Zelda Link to the past! Started playing it today!
Now I'm poor again!

Ooof, I've done that in Breath of the Wild for sure.
Well, now at least you have a nice healing potion in your back pocket
