I think beyond referring to uniting Skyloft and Hyrule, those lyrics could also refer to Zelda regaining her memories by praying within the Skyview and Earth Temples, and to the Master Sword somehow gaining power from sky and earth elements. credit to Her Grace for the idea  |
That's a VERY good assumption!

uhm. I think we have a problem with comunication here.
I. NEVER. MENTIONED. THE. STONES.
That being said, I don't see the problem at all!! In
SS The Gate of Time makes you go 1000 years in the past. You didn't exist there. You travel there and you use the Master Sword and you keep it with you. And you PASS THROUGH IT.
In
OOT the same happen, but it's 7 years, you existed and you return to your original form because you leave the Master Sword in the pedestal. AND YOU DON'T PASS THROUGH THE GATE, YOU JUST ACTIVATE A DEVICE.
In
SS you travel. In
OOT you rewind. No emulation of sorts.
Obviously, if my theory is taken by fact, Rauru would have modified the Gate of Time, to serve the porpuse of helping the Hero by sending him in the era of the
PAST he needs to. That's all I wanted to prove with this theory.
