Well I haven't played tMC, but I have a feeling the answer lies within there. (now I don't want to go into a timeline frenzy but) it's believed tMC takes place somewhere near the begining. It's quite possible that this is the tale of "The Hero of Man" (the hatless Link shown in the begining sequences of tMC) is why all the Links wear caps today. At least, that's just my guess/theory.
