Skyward Sword: Blonde Haired Girl Confirmed As Zelda… Wait is that Rauru?

With one small mystery solved (really, who didn’t think she was Zelda?), another one crops up: Is the guy on the left Rauru? You can definitely see a resemblance, though there are enough tweaks (plus he looks a little bit younger) that he may be a new character. Maybe not though, as this could be a time before he becomes a sage! After all, there appears to not be any emphasis on the triforce early in the game since it’s not present on any of the symbols, so this could be the game that introduces the triforce to the series! Rauru through events in game becomes a sage and… hey I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. Is he Rauru? What about the man with white long hair? He looks familiar to me, but I just can’t quite place it.
