I mean, I could see it being a prequel to Skyward sword that follows the destruction of the earliest realms.  A tragic ending with only a glimmer of hope when Skyloft is raised could be cool.

But I'm thinking the tunic will be the end game, final outfit.  I'm thinking there will be no hero at this time and only at the very end will you become the hero and then gain the tunic.  Perhaps after you sacrifice yourself to save someone or something.  I'm basically saying it will be a more full realization of the Wind Waker concept of becoming the hero as opposed to being the hero.

If it's a prequel to SS we likely won't see the usual tunic as that was the uniform of the Sky Knights hence why every incarnation of Link after SS had a variant of it. It may also be possible that it is the tunic this Link is wearing but has taken more different appearance to suit this incarnation more as he may be a different kind of hero to the other incarnations with him being more hunter like with a strong focus on archery rather than sword play, he may be from the Sheikah tribe given the book/stone tablet like item he has and the artwork of the Sheikah symbol on the main site.

Well that's why I said that if it were a prequel it would be doomed to a bittersweet ending since the Hero did not yet exist.  Such a story would almost certainly have to take place during the fall of the lower realms when everything first went to crap.  Could still be cool and definitely a break from tradition for the story to end with evil defeated only temporarily and the world still wrecked and people fleeing to the sky.  It would be like having a game set during the end of the Second Age of Middle Earth during the War of the Last Alliance.  A victory, but a bittersweet one that is ultimately just a respite.  

But I am leaning towards the story being either set after all the current Zeldas or being set during the original founding of Hyrule after Skyward Sword.
