Why couldn't the text have been added after the unification??

Quote:
1) No; it indicates that Hyrule was not an organized state, rather like how Greece and Rome were not organized states until they became united under common leadership. There was still a Royal Family of Hyrule, still a city of Hyrule, etc. etc.; OoT gives no indication that any of these things are new.
Rome was unified since the begignning. So it's not a good example. Greece was never a single state before modern times., so, again, not a good example.

But I can agree that the land could have been named Hyrule before the unification...

Quote:
2) Because the forest is forbidden and the Kokiri haven't seen anybody from outside of it.
Again, the forest is part of Hyrule in OoT...

Quote:
The existence of a Hyrule Royal Family does not necessarily indicate that they rule over the entire land of Hyrule. No one's arguing that the Hyrule king ruled those lands before OoT; in fact, we're arguing that there was a Hyrule king who didn't rule those lands, and that there is no indication that he had to have ruled those lands in TMC.
They were arguing that the Hylian King ruled over Kakariko because the Royal Famly has a tomb in the graveyard.

I pointed out why that's not true...

Yes, because rotating the map fixes everything, despite the fact that the sun would now move in a completely different way.
