"wobbly"?

The people heralded him as a hero; the King proclaimed him to be the second coming of the seven sages, appointed him priest, and invited him to the castle.

It looks like Agahnim was a stranger who seemingly came out of nowhere, "saved" Hyrule, and was then made a priest.

Back in 1993, Ganon's backstory was that he was basically just a bum who touched the Triforce and gained incredible power from it. Since Ganon wished to rule the world instead of wishing for said power, he appears to have been empowered by the Triforce simply because he owned it.

A bunshin's basically half of a person, so if the person was freakishly powerful then the halves of said person could also be freakishly powerful.

Why would a normal priest know how to do that? Also, as I said earlier, Ganondorf didn't possess Zelda to gain power and Zant wasn't possessed at all.

There were some pillars in the throne room.

Storywise, though, there were probably more little girls (and people in general) on the Great Sea than the ones we saw wandering the islands. Since Ganondorf only managed to capture three girls despite having a bunch of time, it would seem that he wasn't picking his targets based on age.

As I said before, the art style might not be good at representing how the ears themselves have declined. In both OoT and TP, Ganondorf's pointed ears are smaller and duller than the ears of the Hylians. Judging from the time between the flood and TWW, Ganondorf's standards for finding potential Zeldas, and Hylian blood's natural tendency to decline, Hylian blood appears to have declined greatly across the Great Sea.

It's another example of the past and basically everything from the old world being forgotten and fading away.

Man, I've disproved this point every time I've dropped by the old folk's home.

I... I'm not allowed there any more.
