But that would tear up the entire plot of the original Metal Gear game.

Consequently we're either looking at a future remake of MG1 using the Fox engine in the not too distant. Or the possibility that MGS5 will have a wonderfully convoluted plot as the previous games. I lean towards the latter there.

Or I suppose there's the third possiblity which is that the series is left with a gaping plot hole which is never resolved, and Kojima gets his wish to begin working on other games.

I believe that Big Boss never really "comes back" from what he does in TPP. But either manipulates (befriends somehow) or blackmails Zero into a position where he is forced to change the narrative in the media and public perception that Big Boss is a terrorist.

Something happens anyway to make Zero to need BB again. BB spends his 9 year coma in a patriot run hospital after all.
