Saria and Hestu, same character?

[King Link]

Here is something I just remembered. During the events of Wind Waker the Kokiri became the Koroks. But what about Saria.

I think Saria became Hestu because A, they both play instruments B, maybe plot significance in OOT means their physically larger as a Korok.

She put on a ton of weight.

And a loada wood??

 

[King Link]

As I said above I believe size is the equivalent of plot significance in ocarina of time. So Hestu being Saria is large because Saria is a highly significant character in OOT.

Well she gotta grow roots so…

I think Hestu is perhaps the Wild eras Sage of Forest, but I don't think that Saria is Hestu. They have entirely different personalities. The missing sages, assuming Lightning = Shadow, are the Forest and Earth sage. Maybe Hestu and Teba?

This theory needs good reasoning for the personality and name change.

Also, with there being a location named after her, in the lost woods, it would suggest that she has passed away.

That is sad.. then again I was emotionally traumatized when Deku Tree died in Ocarina…

What's worse, I believe that the Ash Swamp is what remains of the Ocarina of Time, Lost Woods. The water fall and lake at Ha Dahamar shrine is bang on for the water flowing through the Kokiri Forist. Now that we can go down wells (in Tears of the Kingdom) the one at the Dueling Peaks Stable has multiple chambers going deeper, similar to going into the Deku Tree, in OoT. The name suggests that it was destroyed by fire.

Would be neat to tell a tale in a new Zelda Game, that Ganon or Demise burned it down because of the prophecy a hero would rise from the forest to fell the dark lord.

Or, even in retaliation for that prophecy coming to pass.

That could work too. Ganon’s Wrath it could called.
