Wanted to compliment you on this post. It said everything I wanted to say about that terrible argument, but better than I could. So, yeah, thumbs up on that post.

Oh right, I thought you were against it.
Finally, you have joined the light side of the timeline, not the dark side. >_>

Humans - there are no humans whatsoever in The Minish Cap, only Hylians; humans become a common race in Hyrule after Ocarina of Time, and they evneutally take over, so The Minish Cap is early Hyrule history because Hylians aren't going extinct and there are no humans.

Unification - Hyrule's races are unifed a few year prior to Ocarina of Time, and they stay unified for all later games, but Hyrule's races are not unified during The Minish Cap, which means, again, that this is before Ocarina of Time.

Link's Cap - Not only is this Link the only one not to wear a cap, no hero before him ever wore a green cap. There were no recorded heros before The Minish Cap that ever wore a green cap, and the tradition started after in The Minish Cap. Miyamoto himself stated that The Minish Cap is the story of how the green cap came to be, and he descibed the game as the earliest, explaining the origins of future Zelda elements.

Zelda in Ocarina of Time recognized Link froma dream when they first met; at the end of The Minish Cap, when you save Zelda, she says that she visioned Link in a dream. In the end creidts, the game itself states that that was thefirst of many legends and advetnures in Hyrule. The Minish Cap has the first Zelda and the first Link, and it is where the legend began.

Ohhhh! How dare you not put The Minish Cap first! I will give evidence!

About The Minish Cap...

Hyrule - not an island, a pre-flood trait.

Dominant Hylians - Lots of Hylians in this game, but they are almost extince after the flood, Hylians were common during and before Ocarina of Time, there are very few left after the flood.

Hero's Shield - Link's grandmother in The Wind Waker tells him that the yellow Hero's Shield had been by another hero long ago; during The Minish Cap, the Link of that time is given the shield by Zelda for the first time, when it is new, and becomea a hero with it, so The Minish Cap Link was referenced in The Wind Waker

Mirror Shield - The Blue Mirror shield that Link used in The Wind Waker was first created in The Minish Cap, explaining its origins

The Third Zelda - Tetra is the third Zelda, meaning that there were two Zelda before her: The Minish Cap Zelda and the Ocarina of Time Zelda

Landmakrs - The Minish Cap seems to explain the origins of the common Hylian landmarks: the Goron are looking for a home, Veil Falls will become that home, Death Mountain; Kakariko Village has always been in a hole-like are with a carved mountain path going down towards it... Veil Falls has a waterfall going down into the hole that is Lake Hylia, meaning when the water stops, there will be a hole left and a mountain path where the waterfall was; if the water stopped, Castor Wilds would be over-filled with water and become a lake in the south-west... Lake Hylia in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess is in the south-west.
