Going as far back as near the end of Peace Walker. Pay special attention to the conversation between Zero and Paz where Paz questions if she is even talking to Zero or not.

Obviously at some point BB and Zero realize they are being played, and Skullface is offed at some point. Following that there is some form of reconciliation, but BB obviously goes on to head Foxhound. I doubt the retcon is strong enough to avoid that major detail.

But don't forget that BB and Zero are philosophically opposed. BB is essentially an anarchist in the true sense of the word (self rule) Zero is a totalitarian. They are going to fall out again later regardless of Skullfaces false flags. There's a small problem with that theory: Skull Face mentioned he needed Paz to find Zero's location, and considering that Paz is the only one to get orders directly from Zero, it is extremely unlikely he'd be able to access Zero's comm logs, never mind pose as him specifically to instigate a fight between Zero and Big Boss. It's more likely that Zero gave even Paz orders via proxy due to his extremely paranoid nature by that point.
