What is the Biblical basis that it was was the second person of the Trinity that walked in the garden of Eden?

This answer comes from an LDS perspective; see the LDS Bible Dictionary for more.

The word "Lord" in Genesis 3:8 represents the name Jehovah in the original Hebrew. In some translations of the Bible it's printed in all caps to distinguish it from the generic word "Lord" (ruler). For example:

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. (Genesis 3:8, KJV)

In other translations, it's rendered directly as Jehovah:

And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden. (Genesis 3:8, ASV)

Jehovah is Jesus Christ, the second person of the trinity.

The Bible explicitly teaches that no on has seen the Father : Verses from the bible teach clearly that no one has seen the father -

No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him (John 1:18).

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen (1 Timothy 1:17).*

Other verses are : John 6:46, John 5:37

In addition to this, the bible teaches clearly that Jesus is the one who reveals the father - For example John 1:18, already quoted. Colossians 1:15 says "The son is the image of the invisible God". This indicates that wherever God is seen with the naked eye in bodily form such as in the garden of Eden, the one mentioned is the second Person of the trinity, i.e Jesus.
