Should we add the theory of this place being the Kokiri Forest? For me, that's likely since the houses are familliar to the ones in Kokiri Forest from Ocarina of Time. The woods between the forest temple and Mayscore are also similar to the lost woods.

Sigh...That isn't possible. Whittleton is in New Hyrule, a place discovered by Link and Tetra after the events of Phantom Hourglass which is after the events of The Wind Waker in which Hyrule was flooded and was eventually destroyed. Because Hyrule was destroyed and the Kokiri Forest was in Hyrule, not New Hyrule, this is impossible.
