The Triforce is the major flaw with ALttP being on the child timeline, since we have no explanation as to how it went from seperated at the end of TP to whole in ALttP. Placing ALttP on the adult timeline after TWW removes this major flaw.

Flimsy maybe, but they are far stronger than any arguement for a pre-OoT or child timeline placement for TMC, as the former has outdated developer statements and personal interpretations supporting it, and the latter has nothing supporting it, at least not that I know of.
Many things align up really well with the post-TWW placement of TMC, such as the Gorons being merchants and few in number, as well as not living on a mountain, just like in TWW, and TMC showing the first appearance of land-crawling Octoroks, as TWW is the last game to feature water-dwelling Octoroks. Lots of things like this are what makes the TWW/PH - TMC order the most probable. Although that may sound daft considering the evidence isn't exactly big ground-breaking stuff, with a lack of big ground-breaking evidence, it's all we have.
