Wishbringer actually takes place after Zork, during the new age of
Science.  In Beyond Zork there is a scene where you witness one of the
events described in the Wishbringer storybook.  And in the story book,
there is a reference to one suitor's quest for the Cocoa-nut of
Quendor.

A more subtle tie is that the mysterious envelope is addressed to a
town in Antharia, the island province in the middle of the Flathead
Ocean where they mine granola.
