I remember reading the old thread before I joined...

I personally agree with this theory. Ashei's father could have been a knight serving the King of Hyrule, perhaps given the duty to protect the Snowpeak area. Why it was forced into ruin, and why nobody lives there now (apart from the Yeti's) I have no idea. It is a very interesting theory though, with some evidence to support and nothing to really contradict it.

I doubt that Ashei's father is the Hero's Shade, it seems more likely that he is an ancestor of Link from TP.
