Spoiler Gaepora

[Links Brother]

As we all know in Ocarina of Time there was our beloved and annoying Kaepora Gaepora (Owl). In Skyward Sword we had a character called Gaepora who when laughs says "Hoo Hoo" sounds like an owl. Now in Ocarina of Time a Gossip Stone tells you that Kaepora Gaepora is the reincarnation of an ancient sage. So was Zelda's dad Gaepora the same as Kaepora Gaepora but just the owl was in reincarnation form? And for the record, Gaepora from Skyward Sword was not a Sage. How do these two connect!

he could be a "normal" sage, doesnt need to have magic super powers to be important... doesnt sage mean something like wise man???

All the sages in OoT, aside from Rauru (and probably Zelda), had to "awaken" from their normal life into being a sage (Impa might have known beforehand as well). Gaepora just hasn't done so yet.

Perhaps Gaepora is named after the sage Kaepora Gaepora. The idea of a prequel to this game doesn't seem too crazy.
