Before I start, 8brick, I just want to say this: please do not take this the wrong way. You get 10/10 for creativity and effort, and I'm trying to give constructive criticism. If it doesn't come across that way, I'm sorry.

I will say that I have only played bits and pieces of Skyward Sword and that I am not well-versed in its mythology. HOWEVER what I do understand is that it did mess up some Hyrule's history (such as there being a fourth existing goddess Hylia), so basing a story on that game may create a lot more continuity issues.

Also, on the subject of continuity, Link can't really just "get" the Ocarina of Time. You mentioned that it starts after Ocarina of Time: but if it were, he wouldn't be having dreams about being defeated, because at that point both "success" timelines are secure. This would require that he's having dreams before it all happens, but this would be impossible. If he's having dreams about being defeated, that would mean he doesn't have the OoT yet, and if he were to go through the events of "Ocarina of Time" to avoid it, he would inevitably be defeated (as his dream would predict), meaning that he wouldn't be able to go back in time to prevent it.

On the subject of the antagonists (again, I have only played/watched certain parts of SS, so I could be wrong): Demise came before Ganon; in fact it's because of Demise that Ganon exists, because as soon as you defeat Demise he places the curse on Link's descendants that there would always be someone fighting against him. This would make it impossible for Ganon to be the antagonist, not only because he can't be resurrected if he doesn't exist yet, but also because in either OoT timeline Ganondorf is sealed, and thus can't travel back in time with Link. I'm not sure about Demise, but there'd be no reason to fight against him because of the background of his imprisonment given in SS (which, again, has more continuity issues than the other games put together), unless you were creating a whole new timeline (which I just now happened to read), but I highly doubt that a relic as powerful as the Triforce would be ignored by Ganondorf EVEN IF Demise didn't get to proclaim his curse.

Finally, you can't really call it a "Legend of Zelda" without Zelda. She's sort of a key character. Only one game in the history of the franchise (excluding spin-offs) has had Zelda absent (Majora's Mask), and even then she's referenced and is shown giving a key item to Link prior to gameplay. As I mentioned earlier, "Hylia" was not one of the creators of Hyrule (Din, Nayru, and Farore were); this is the LARGEST CONTINUITY FLUKE IN THE FRANCHISE (if I have not misunderstood), so I would strongly suggest keeping Hylia out of the picture.

Again, I'm only trying to give constructive criticism, I'm looking at it from a continuity spectrum. And in its current state, I don't think it would fit. Solve those continuity issues, or start afresh with a new story, and I think it would be great.

I'm really sorry if this comes across as mean/criticizing/deconstructive/demoralizing, I honestly don't want it to be so. I'm saying this to see if there are any changes that would make your story work.
