I think Ground Zeroes is a movie centered around Zero's idea to elevate the image of big boss into the legendary soldier he was portrayed as throughout the rest of the series.

First off, consider the games play time. Roughly a two-hour experiance, similar to many hollywood films with their 90-120 minute run times. Big Boss starts taking too much damage..the screen changes as if it were damaged film running thru a projector. Leading me to believe Ground Zeroes whole experiance is intended to be a hollywood production. Meanwhile, the actual big boss is in a medically induced coma, zero and the patriots have him drugged there to keep him from being able to recover at a normal speed. In the film production of the events, the actor hired to be Big Boss does such a convincing job of being Big Boss he's hired to be Big Boss in the real world, undergoing facial surgery to take on his actual apperance. This actor of course, is Decoy Octopus which puts him not just in league with Foxhound for Metal Gear Solid, but ties him to the patriots themselves, along side Ocelot. Being an actor, he wouldn't need any actual combat skills, and who better to be a master of disquise or be an expert at being someone other than themselves than someone from Hollywood. plus, putting him in league with the patriots would give octopus the abilty to study him throughly, and even be able to access him to "copy him right down to the blood"
