Just ot let you know, the Four Sword series of games (FSA, TMC, etc.) were all officially stated to be completely separate from the Ganon series. So, I'd advise you not to include them in the same timelines.
Anywho, I would have put it like this:
OoT -> Obviously the first since it involves Ganondorf's origin and Ganon's birth from the 'Dorf
MM -> Officially a direct sequel to OoT
TP -> Stated to take place mere decades after OoT and MM
ALttP -> Takes place a long time after the events of OoT (even references them). However, Hyrule is not yet sunk.
OoA/OoS -> These two go one after the order depending on when you played them. Link in it is alrady refered to as the hero of Hyrule at the start of the game, so it stands to reason that he is a previous hero. Since in OoT he is never acknowledged as a hero because of going back in time to before Hyrule went all dark, he never would noticeably save it. Also, in TLoZ, he saves Zelda more than he really does Hyrule. It therefore stands to reason that the only Link that could be recognized as Hyrule's hero would be the one from ALttP.
LA -> The start of it takes place when Link is returning to Hyrule from other places. Coming back from Labrynia and Holdrum I'd say?
LoZ -> It's still Hyrule and unsunk. Thus, before TWW
AoL -> It's the same Link from LoZ when he's nearly 16.
TWW -> This happens centuries after the events of OoT, leaving plenty of time for all the other games in between. Hyrule is now flooded and no more.
PH -> Happens months after TWW with the same Link and Tetra.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MC -> Explains Vaati's origins and the origin of the Four Sword
FS (GBA) -> Vaati is sealed away and is released.
FSA (GCN) -> This is the sequel to the first FS.
And that's how I see it.
