Well they almost certainly didn't plan it, but it would be a nice continuation of those themes at the very least. Actually, one of my favourite scenes in TP is when you talk to the lake spirit, who gives you a vision of what happened before.Eponet said:Additionally, it would also give cause to the Light Spirits in Twilight Princess being willing to allow Link to go after the Fused Shadows. While the dark magic did corrupt everyone that used it while it was still sealed away, Link's predecesor would have already confronted and overcome such a burden in the past.
Though, that would require Nintendo to have planned two console generations ahead, which is more credit than I'm willing to give them.
