The only order switch-ups you could do in OoT was that Fire and Water were interchangeable as the 2nd/3rd temples, and Shadow/Spirit were interchangeable as the 4th/5th. Beyond that, all dungeons were set.

-Deku was obviously mandatory first
-You needed the bombs from DC to get into Zora's Domain and on to Jabu, so those were locked as second and third child dungeons
-Both the Water Temple and the Fire Temple require the bow to complete, so Forest was required as your first dungeon.
-The nocturne cutscene needed to access the Shadow Temple is only activated by having both the fire and water medallions, and either hover boots or longshot is required to access the Spirit Temple while the hammer is required to clear it, so that pretty much sets the remainder of the order.

You may have had to enter the forest temple first, but I don't think you had to finish it first. I got the bow, Megaton hammer, and Longshot before even finishing the forest temple... On Master Quest. The first three should all be interchangeable, provided you may have to ENTER a different one first. But to actually finish it is different. And I guess the last two were interchangeable, provided you got the Lens.

And if it's true you only need the fire and Water Medallion to get the Nocturne of Shadow, then you could complete the forest temple last...
