How nice that you posted an explanation. (I will comment on your timeline using only pre-Historia evidence.) I have tried to be short and concise, however with the side-effect that my remarks may sound blunt, but I hope that you can see the benefits of writing concise.
OK i put TMC first because this looks like the beginning of the war that is mentioned in both OoT and ALtTP so logically it would go before them and it shows why there are so many F@&king monster roaming unchecked though out Hyrule.
Conveniently, Skyward Sword is confirmed as the oldest story so far, and it can logically be put just before TMC.
Nevertheless, the "war" before TMC can not be the war from OoT, since this war (The Hylian Civil War) ended after OoT Link was born, whereas the "War of the Bound Chest" likely happened centuries before TMC (at least one century).
The war from AlttP (the War over the Triforce and the subsequent Seal War) does not match gso ood with the WotBC, since there is no Ganondorf entering the SR. Moreover, there is no mentioning of any Picori in the AlttP wars. Also, there was no hero to stop Ganondorf, which contradicts the fact that the Hero of Men stopped the ancient evil.
With that in mind it is logical that FS would fallow.
The events of TMC seems to be a legend by the time of FS, which suggests that FS is an indirect sequel to TMC.
i put OoT next because it is my theory (as well as other peoples) that the Kokiri are descendants of the Minish and the Kokiri Sword is real the Four Sword reverted back to the Picori Blade, and the fact that is were ganon is imprisoned in the Sacred (dark) realm putting it before WW and ALtTP. this is were the timeline splits, in one direction you have the future that Link defeated Ganon in and in the other you have the future that link lives when he is sent back in time to live his life.
Why do you think that the Kokiri are descendants of the Minish? There is little evidence regarding the nature of the Kokiri to begin with, but the Great Deku Tree from WW suggests that the original form of the Koroks was human-shaped (and since Makar is some kind of successor to Fado, the Korok-Kokiri connection is even stronger).
Why do you think that the Four Sword loses its powers and becomes the weak Kokiri Sword? What about the fact that the Four Sword lies in its pedestal in FSA, seemingly undisturbed? Also, what do you think of the Palace of the Four Sword in GBA AlttP? The PotFS shows that the Four Sword did remain intact (albeit split into four parts) up until that game.
I'm sorry, but it is close to impossible for AlttP to happen before WW.
1) Ganondorf is sealed in the Evil Realm at the end of OoT, whereas he is killed in AlttP and alive in WW.
2) The last hero to defeat Ganonodrd was OoT Link, which can not be true if the order is OoT---AlttP---WW

In order to return the power to repel evil to your sword, you must find another to take my stead in this temple and ask the gods for their assistance.
3) The Triforce is complete by the end of AlttP (and the beginning for that matter), whereas the Triforce is not complete at the end of OoT nor at the beginning of WW. The Triforce of Courage also split when the HoT left the timeline, which means that AlttP can't go before WW.

In the future were link lived his life: He went in search of Navi in the land of Termina. after that it is my theory that link returns to Hyrule and then gets sucked in to the events the two oracle games. when link is sent back in time he manages to worn the royal family for Hyrule of ganondorfs evil, they (after checking with all the other races he screwed over) have him put to death were the ancient sages, taking spiritual form (like Rauru in Oot), f@&ked up and sent him into the twilight realm and those the events of TP were ganondorf killed forever in in that part of the timeline.
I don't understand how OoX can follow MM when Ganon is dead in OoX, but alive in MM and TP (and in his Gerudo form). Moreover, what are your opinions on the status of the Triforce during the CT (the Triforce is complete during OoX)?
In the Future were Link and the sages sealed ganon away: ALtTP the seal of the sages is broken and ganon tries to escape but is defeated by link and ganon is resealed (i meant to put it on this side of the time line originally but derped). Hundreds of years later Ganon escapes again and this time the Goddess flood Hyrule and WW happens. I believe that it makes sense for LA to happen next because it is possible that after WW Link got separated from the pirate ship in a storm and then LA happens. after witch he is rescued and those PH and SP happen. Many years later in the original Zelda game, people discover that old Hyrule's flood has stopped and the water is going away. my theory is that ganon has returned as a Ganon version of Dark link or remnants of ganondorf's hatred and gets his power from his staff. then in zelda 2 people move north of death Mt.
The American LA manual does suggest that LA is a sequel to AlttP, but that is not present in the Japanese version. Are you suggesting that Hyrule of LoZ/AoL is Old Hyrule or New Hyrule? Moreover, why would the water recede?
Good Luck with your timeline!
