Also, about the Minish. Assuming that they came to Hyrule more than twice is not neccisary in order for TMC's story to work. Basically, they come to Hyrule 100 years prior to TMC. They give the hero of men the Picori Blade. Many of them stay behind and start placing items in grass, under rocks, etc., and the door closes. 100 years later, the door opens again, and TMC begins. Occam's Razor does not encourage unneccisary excess, and saying that they came more than twice is doing just that. I am going somewhere with this, so hold on.
