Foreshadowing, from a perspective taught by industry professionals is more about providing the clues/cues/insight to the audience you are writing to. Just like there is no one way to write a mystery, with some mysteries being an actual puzzle to figure out who done it, and others telling you who...

I have not invented anything here, and getting upset won't help your arguments.

Like I said. I get it. You prefer to have things far more blatant and obvious. It doesn't change anything about the game in question. I wouldn't know. I've only seen the parts of those shows my children have shown me. The shows seem interesting enough. My usage of the terms comes from the...

Sounds like we read very different literature. Not all foreshadowing requires a character to look into the fourth wall, and tell us that the thing will be important later. Many of the best uses, in my opinion, are easily missed, then we are reminded about it when it pops up again. For that...

One thing we can both agree on, is that there could have been improvements. Just because there could have been improvements, though, doesn't mean that it's not an improvement to what we've already seen. And, just because some people feel baited by the foreshadowing, doesn't mean the ruins in...

I'm not saying that the Zonai, as we understand them now, were always part of the plan. I am saying that the games have been playing with the shape of an ancient people from the sky, who are closer to the gods, more technologically advanced, and are tied to Hyrule's very existence. The Zonai are...

I get what you are saying. You don't like continuity that you need to wait for. I, on the other hand, am saying that longer runs of continuity are better, and not getting all of the answers in one game is a good thing.

I invite you to take a second look. The Nation we explore the ruins of throughout Skyward Sword. Ruins in Minish Cap where the Wind tribe are said to have moved from. The entire Hyrule Kingdom in Wind Waker. The sky people connected to the Tower of the Gods in Wind Waker (though this one may be...

Wow. I guess that precludes every other time the franchise included an ancient lost civilization. Of the top of my head, that's Skyward Sword, Minish Cap, Wind Waker, Spirit tracks, Majora's Mask, possibly Link to the Past, and likely Twilight princess. Do the abandoned Sheikah sites after...

Casual conversations are not the bounds of interesting story. How would you suggest making use of inspiration derived from one of these lost civilizations?

I'm hoping that the symbol is replicated by the Zonai, just as the Sheikah after them. I'm hoping that Hylia, and the other three goddesses, were not Zonai, and implanting the third eye is not where the symbolism began, in universe. But, it is a possibility that they may be Zonai, at this point...

The games literally tell us, even shows us, that the Ancient Shiekah were connected to the Zonai. I absolutely love what we did get with the Twili, but it's only one game, and there's no connection to them in the world of Hyrule. We have to be told about the Twili's history. We can't see the...

I would say that the Zonai have the most depth we have seen in a group added to the series, upon their first game, so far. As far as the other introductions go, we may get an explanation that the people have always been around (or that they used to be another group), and we may or may not see...

I've seen many people lament Ghost Rauru not sticking around to be a kind of companion, just hanging around different locations, like in the beginning, ready to give comment about his memories.

Just a typo. I'll go back and fix it. The Oocca never sat well, in the world, though. They are posed as builders of advanced technology, and prolific builders, yet they never seem to use that tech, and the structures they supposedly built are made for larger people than themselves. And, just...

I think the Zonai do add to the lore. More than that, I think the Zonai positively adds to lore that has been building for a while. Many games reference a mysterious sky people and a civilization that predates the history of the game in question. The creators have been playing with the idea for...
