Ocarina of Time Spoilers:
So, as much as I like OoT, I've always been confused on how exactly the Sages were awakened. Specifically, what were the sages doing in the seven year gap? They clearly all haven't been in their respective temples the whole seven years, right?
For example, Sheik says he (or she...) rescued Ruto from the Ice, and then she went to the Water Temple. Has Ruto really been in the Water Temple for seven years, or did this happen somewhat recently?
Mido blocks Link's path at first, saying Saria told him to allow no one to go any further. Again, has Saria been gone for seven years with Mido blocking the path, or did this happen more recently?
Darunia is just outside the boss' room when Link runs into him, and nearly all the Gorons are imprisoned. Same question here: Have the Gorons been imprisoned, and has Darunia been standing in front of the Boss' Door that long ?
Sheik said Impa went to reseal Bongo-Bongo in the Shadow Temple, and it sounds like this is a somewhat new development after Bongo-Bongo attacked the village. What was Impa doing beforehand?
Nabooru is the only Sage that seems to have logically been in her temple for the whole seven years. The last time we saw her seven years earlier, she had been kidnapped by Twinrova, and she's still being held by them seven years later.
Are these logical questions, haha or am I over thinking things here?
Also, I heard a theory once that the Sages actually all died at some point before they were awakened. Could that play a role into some of their disappearances?
