That link to the other thread is broken.

Well, why would the 'rejected' line come as after MC?
Wouldn't it also stem off of OoT?

The generally accepted idea is that Link 'becomes' the link in the past.

EDIT:
Also, how does "rejected" Link become friends with the Princess? She knows that Link has left, and the "rejected" hero has no reason to go visit Zelda.
