Sacred realm? (ALttP, OoT)

Replaying OoT on Master Quest right now and I just had a thought upon seeing the dialogue from Zelda near the end of the game.

ALttP says that the sacred realm became the dark world because of Ganondorf's wish on the Triforce, but OoT says that the sacred realm became the dark world because the person who entered it (Ganondorf) was evil, seemingly independent of a Triforce wish.

So, which is it? Is there a translation error on either end, is it an inconsistency, or is there an explanation I'm missing? I can think of a couple of potential explanations but I'm curious to hear y'all's thoughts.

Edit: The info from ALttP that I'm referring to is what is said by the essence of the Triforce to Link at the end of the game, and the info from OoT I'm referring to is from Zelda in the cutscene where she drops her Sheik disguise (though the info might pop up in other places as well)
