[So...........considering how much they redo oot beat by beat almost in totk for the past bits.......is Nabooru (or this timeline's/au's version) the Sage of Lightning?

I mean, think about it. In both games, she turns against Ganondorf and even seems to take it a step further in totk with potentially turning the Gerudo as a whole against him (at least I imagined the Sage of Lightning had a hand in exposing him....then again, totk seemed keen on Ganondorf being evil to the core with no other motivation (as in, he didnt give a shit about his people either which grinds my gears), and they wanted the Gerudo to appear as stauch allies to Hyrule, so maybe most of the Gerudo never liked him, but that's not as interesting and I'm going to keep my political intrigue ideas so sh). Urbosa mentions her by name, and if this era is disconnected from the other games (which doesn't fully make sense since Zelda mentions the past heroes, but I'll play their game for now since it's apparently official these two games are their own tineline/AU), then she either wouldn't exist in this Hyrule or was simply a different incarnation (which would be the same for Ruto, who is also mentioned by name). So that means the latter must be true, and with the parallels with OoT going on, now I really AM wondering the original Sage of Lightning WAS this era's Nabooru.

I had toyed with the idea before, but without any solid say so that the games were in fact not part of the original timeline, I didn't want to commit to anything. So, maybe that will just be my angle for the Wilds era now. 🤔 With my own tweaks of course.]
