Actually, there's more than one way to perform Necromancy. In ancient Greek stories, Necromancers were Prophets, and Priests who summoned and communicated with the spirits of the dead, or an occasional spiritual exorcism. The original purpose of Necromancy was to obtain knowledge from Ancestors, because they believed that they were all-knowing. It's a form of Divination.
Capturing and torturing people, or sacrificial ceremonies aren't
exactly Necromantic, but pretty close in the long run.
Other kinds of Necromancy involve an actual corpse, or invoking Demons. In this day and age, Necromany is most often practiced in Satanic rituals. Zelda doesn't take place anywhere near a time period close to ours, so my idea with the Necromancy part of my theory had to do with nekros manteia. (dead divination).
