Lately, I've been seeing alot of timelines that place MC first instead of Oot. I think that placing MC before Oot is a mistake. Here's why:

-According to what I've read from most people, they place the Minish Cap first because they believe that is the origin of Link's green cap. If this is the case, obviously the Kokiri in Oot were emulating this. But we do not get an explanation in Oot as to why the Kokiri wore green. And even if they were indeed paying their respect to the hero in MC, why, specifically, did they feel the need to? What affliation did the Kokiri have to the hero in MC apart from the other races in Hyrule?
-Just because the cap wasn't included in the hero's wardrobe in MC at first doesn't mean that was the first time the hat appeared in a Zelda game. Maybe MC was on the child timeline, so the MC hero didn't know about a Hero of Time, and therefore, wasn't trying to dress like him.

In conclusion, I just want to hear from where other people are coming from. Then maybe I'll be more willing to accept the 'MC first' timeline.
