Hyrule's Geography

That is a popular theory as well.

My theory is that the Dark Interlopers came from a foreign region. To interlope means to thrust into affairs not pretaining to you. It could be argued they just didn't belong in the Sacred Realm, but I think they had no business being in Hyrule at all.

The original Japanese text doesn't use interlopers at all and instead refers to them more generically and possibly implies they are from Hyrule:

The top 2 lines are the Japanese texts and the third is the US text:

混沌とし何もない世界に神々は 降臨し生命と秩序を造られ
The goddesses descended to the world of chaos where there was nothing at all, and created life and order.
When all was chaos, the goddesses descended and gave order and life to the world.

そして、全ての者達に平等に力を与え 天へお戻りになられた
And after granting power equally to all people, they returned to the heavens.
They granted power equally to all who dwelt in the light, and then returned to the heavens.

神々が最初に降り立った地は聖地と呼ばれ
The place where the goddesses first landed is called the holy land.
The lands where the goddesses descended came to be known as the Sacred Realm.

世界は長きにわたり信心深い者達の心で平安であった…
For a long time, the world was at peace, with people's hearts being deeply faithful…
For ages, the people lived at ease, content in mind and body…

しかし、やがて聖地ハイラルを巡り争いが起こった
But at length, a rivalry ensued over Hyrule, the holy land.
But soon, word of the Sacred Realm spread through Hyrule, and a great battle ensued…

人々の中に、魔術に長けた者達が現れ
In the midst of the people, persons who excelled at magic appeared.
Among those living in the light, interlopers who excelled at magic appeared.

強力な魔力によって聖地を治めようとした
With powerful sorcery, they tried to rule the holy land.
Wielding powerful sorcery, they tried to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm.

しかし、神は我ら光の精霊を遣わし その者達の巨大なる魔力を封じこませたのだ
But the goddesses sent us light spirits to seal away the gigantic magic of those people.
It was then that the goddesses ordered us three light spirits to intervene. We sealed away the great magic those individuals had mastered.

そして、その魔力こそが 黒き力・・・影の結晶石である
And that very sorcery is the black power… the Crystal Stone of Shadow.
You know this magic… It is the dark power you seek…the Fused Shadow.

The Sheikah are a strong candidate for this
