Sages Names in AoL

Before all let me first state this is my first real self-made theory.

Now in AoL there are several towns whose names are the same as the Sages in OoT.
Saria, Rauru, Ruto, Darunia, and Nabooru.
As stated by Aonuma in an interview this was to make it appear as though the towns were named after sages. This would make sense, the Sages seal away Ganondorf in an ancient time and as a reward they get towns named after them. So far so good but...

For some reason however there is also a town by the name of Mido but not one by the name of Impa. Anyone care to try and explain that? And what about why there is no "Town of Zelda"?

Also there are towns with names that aren't OoT Sages, could these be posible sage names in future games? If so, all we "know" about the timeline could change.

On second thought, it'd be a little redundant to make a town named after the Princess. Especially in Hyrule.

The village names of AoL is hardly relevant to the timeline. It just shows that OoT comes before AoL, and that the story of the sages lived on till that time... that's all there is to it.

Now, all villages can't be named after people, I mean... Just becuse Washington DC is named after the first President doesn't mean that Baltimore must've been named after a currently unknown person that - if known - would change everything we know about American hostory.

Now why did I chose American History as an example. Because american theorizers wouldn't know what I was talking about had I mentioned cities in other countries


EDIT: Don't double-post. Use the EDIT button (can be found in the bottom right of every post)

Well, there goes that. At least it sticks to proving AoL=After OoT.
And btw you don't have to call me a noob just because I didn't see the "EDIT" button. I really wasn't looking for one.

^ Well you should be looking for it
And don't mind the noob stuff, I'm just fooling around.

What has been discussed about this is why Mido got a town named after him... or is it just a coincidence/cameo?

Impa and Zelda were already characters in AoL; thus, it would have been somewhat nonsensical to create towns with the same names.

^
That.
Also, Impa is a family/last name.

Damn it Lexxi already said exactly what I was gonna say.

The reason why there isn't a town named after Impa is because there already is an Impa character in AoL.

Mido... I have no idea, unless he did managed to do something great, which I completely doubt. Mido could also be a typical name in Hyrule and that the town was named after someone other than a Kokiri. Honestly, we will never know why because I doubt that Nintendo is ever going to go back to anything related to AoL.

And maybe we will see a character called kasuto in a new zelda game.

Kasuto would be an awesome name for a king or awesome swordsman in a future game

^
THIS!!!!!!

Oh and isn't there a Laruto Falls? I believe I saw that in a map, but it could've just been a fan picture. If there is such a thing then that proves that AoL=Post-Flood for the n00bs who disagree.

^Fan-made.

1. Zelda II was made a decade before Ocarina of Time.
2. Mido was originally supposed to be a Sage (the Sage of Wind).
3. As have been explained Zelda and Impa are characters in the game.

-Okay, if Mido was supposed to be a Sage, then there we go. Just a little mishap. But if we really get into it...well, I don't know.
-As for the Kasuto thing, I read on ZeldaWiki that there was a theory that it was related to Kaepora Gaebora, who was a past Sage.
-AoL would definitely fit on the Adult Link side of the split timeline, because Adult Link reawakened the "new" Sages in OOT (Saria, Darunia, Ruto, Impa, Nabooru) so it would be fitting that after the creation of a New Hyrule after WW and PH, the new towns would be named after the sages, as well as Rauru, a "leader" of some sort as he is a past sage as well, and Kasuto...I'm sure that will be explained in a later Zelda game.

^ That and according to the article, Kasuto was either supposed to be a sage in OoT anyway quite early in development, or that Kasuto was supposed to be a sage in AoL (unlikely).
So if we get a game before OoT (when either the 'original' hero of time was around or the legend is created) it could be that Kasuto is one of the sages in the game, and a young beardless Rauru. Could revolve around the creation of the master sword, a war, or something, and a fight ending the war with a bad guy.

^ and maybe they can create a brand new villian, and then have him die at the end and... (major plot twist) Ganondorf of all people appears out of nowwhere for no reason and you kill him (wow, didn't see that coming )
