You can find a ranch on the eastmost area of the map on Chapter 1: The Battle of Hyrule Field that bears striking resemblance to the Lon Lon Ranch in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
You can also find this area, named Ranch Ruins, in Breath of the Wild.
Similarly, you can also find an unnamed village near the ranch that closely resembles the Mabe Village in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
Much like the ranch, you can find this area, named Mabe Village Ruins, in Breath of the Wild.
Near Mabe Village, you can find scarecrows wearing a straw hat, a bandana, and a vest. These resemble the scarecrows, Bonooru and Pierre from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

"Lamp oil, rope, bombs - you want it, it's yours, my friend, as long as you have enough Rubies."

In Breath of the Wild, Akkala Buns is a type of food that Link can buy at the East Akkala Stable. Unlike most food items, the game does not physically show what the food is and only describes it as being made of fresh ingredients.

In the opening cinematic for the game, as the Diminutive Guardian whistles a tune and opens a portal, we can see Sheikah Text floating around the portal.

As the game loads in from the title screen, we can catch a quick glimpse of some Sheikah Text along the top of the tower. The visible characters spell out ikah Tower.
