If this game takes place before Skyward Sword, we might not see the tunic or not until much later in the game. Maybe this game discusses the creation of the hero's tunic.

Skyward Sword is first game in series, definitely game is not takes place before Skyward Sword.

It's the earliest game in the timeline so far but however it's not the overall beginning of the lore itself as shown in the game as the were events that took place long beforehand.
