I just noticed something that doesn't connect with the rest of the series.

Past Zelda games have said that the Master Sword was created by the Sages.

What the heck is that all about?

legends or biblical style stories get messed up over time. If I recall there's a story in both the bible and torah that have different endings but are the same story.

that remark about the Bible and Torah is incorrect to my knowledge, the Bible's old testament is essentially identical to the Torah (just a few extra books), but let's not get into that.

My theory on the sword is that the Goddess Sword was forged by the Sages (or they at least had a hand in it), therefore, they technically created the Master Sword

I may have got it confused with Qur'an. Too lazy too bust out the holy books so i'll leave it at that. (or was it the dome of the rock)

Anywho yeah I could see the races shown in the prolouge being the sages.

I mean technically the flames that tempered the sword are the embodiment of Din, Nayru and Farore, which were all three sages...right? Or are they goddesses?

Din, Farore, and Nayru were the three Golden Goddesses who created Hyrule and left behind the Triforce, there have been 11 sages (though two succeeded previous sages) mentioned by name throughout the series, Rauru, Sage of Light, Saria, Forest, Darunia, Fire, Ruto, Water, Impa, Shadow, Nabooru, Spirit, and Zelda, Time (presumably time, due to the them of OoT), those 7 sages were in Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker introduced two more, Laruto, the Earth Sage who was succeeded in her role by Medli, and Fado, the Wind Sage, who was succeeded by Makar. Any number of these sages or their predecessors (as Sages are not immortal) could have been the ones who forged the Master Sword

Spoilers...I guess:

This game is lacking in story. I mean, the 3d Zelda games have done a great job in the past of having some amazing halfway point twists and not much more story was needed after because they were so well done. So I'm really dissappointed that after a completely awesome battle it seemed like the plot was gonna become cool and interesting and awesome but no the old woman just tells you "this is the part of the game where you go to new dungeons to find things to unlock the final area/s of the game" and little else. More often than not I'm fine with minimum plot but this is really the wrong way to go with it, especially since there's plenty in this game that's hinted at being interesting story but they aren't doing anything with. I mean, can't I at least Metroid Prime scan something to find out a story? Can I at least have that option?

Maybe the plot will get better soon but now it just...exists, which is really dissappointing. Especially considering how awesome the gameplay is, which makes the story just look lazy by comparison.

I think that's probably trying to tell us that we may never know the "true" origins of some of the legends of Hyrule.

I thought the Goddess Hylia created Hyrule? Where does she fit in? Cause she was first introduced in Skyward Sword, and she was never mentioned in any other game.

Nope. Din, Farore, and Nayru created the world and the Triforce, then left. Hylia existed after that, not before.

@kkslider5552000: A lot later there's a scene that explains a lot. It might not be what you're hoping for, but I thought it was really interesting.

So do the other Zelda games mention the goddess Hylia? Because as I recall, Hylia created the people of Skyloft, who eventually became the Hylian people of Hyrule. So was this character created just for Skyward Sword? Or do the other Zelda games mention her?
