No, Lake Hylia would be in the same place. Obviously a little off because of the "squished" aLttP map. Desert of Mystery is located nicely with OoT's desert or (with centuries of erosion) a nearer portion of that same desert is accessible.

I have never cared for TP's Overworld and SS didn't have a true overworld so it doesn't count.
