Has anybody else wondered about the history of the Shadow Temple? One of the voices says, "Here is gathered Hyrule's bloody history of greed and hatred." That makes me wonder if Ocarina of Time Zelda's ancestors weren't always the good guys.

Could have been infighting or rebellion among the peoples. Just saying "Hyrule" doesn't mean "The authority figures of hyrule". There are bad apples everywhere! Got one the other day, bag of fresh green granny smith apples and there was a yellow nasty apple in it. Bleck!
