Consider that the Emerald Herald (on NG) tells you that she failed what her creation was ment to do (stop the cycle and thus end the curse) and, if I'm not mistaken, she even says we will Link the Fire. Linking the Fire always continues the cycle, which can also be called canon in Dark Souls as eventually Lordran fell and Drangleic came into existance (give some other possible kingdoms). While Drangleic may or may not be the same area Lordran too place (and many ingame hints give clue that it could be, such as the shattered Lordvessel in Majula).

Overall, though, by sitting in the Throne, we unwittingly did Link the Flame, and, much the same in Dark Souls, if it was possible to just leave the Throne (perhaps the Aged Feather?), we wouldn't have Linked it.
