I was doing some TP theory-crafting when I realized: what the hell happened during Hyrule's Civil War? Who was fighting who? Why did it start, why did it end? Was it the Interloper War (no, right, the Interloper war happened before FS?) How was Ganondorf involved, or the Forest Temple etc.? Like, do we actually know what happened or is it all theory?
My preconceptions are that, after Skyward Sword and the Triforce's sealing in the Sacred Realm, the Hylians wanted to expand their territory to not just include the immediate area surrounding Hyrule Field etc. but also the desert, death mountain, lost woods etc. But then that wouldn't be a civil war, that would be a war of conquest; a war intended on expanding territory.
So then my thought was that the Gerudo and Sheikah betrayed the Hyrule Royal Family except that doesn't make any sense because the Sheikah's Shadow Temple was used by the king in the war. So maybe it was a schism within the Sheikah that sided with the Gerudo? But then why isn't Ganondorf already on trial for crimes committed during the war in the beginning of OoT?
Too many questions so I thought I'd leave it up to the forums. Any and all ideas would be much appreciated.
