This theory is mainly going to be based on the discussion of a place we seen in Twilight Princess known as Ordona.
Now in Hyrule we know it to have certain places and/or landmarks "so to say". We have the iconic Death Mountain, Lake Hylia, Zoras Domain, Hyrule Field, Hyrule town and the Gerudo Desert (or varieties of these places).
So a lot of people have used the tactic of labelling each the map of Hyrule to a specific province....These were seen in Twilight Princess but we perceived this to be a new formation of separate of province's due to the placement of this game on the timeline however in Skyward Sword we see these province's and similar landmarks and since Skyward Sword is the first game on the timeline we can use this to our advantage.
Now to the province's themselves, we see Lanayru, Eldin and Faron all respectively named after one of the 3 Goddesses and generally representing their colour scheme as well a element. Faron remains specific to the forest, Eldin to fire and Lanayru to water however in SS it was desert however this was originally a sea, so one can imagine that part of this was restored and the remains became the Gerudo Desert. Now in TP we have a 4th Province "Ordona", why would they introduce a 4th province and to what significance?
Now if we look at the landscape of Ordona itself it bears much resemblance to it's neighbouring province of Faron with the forest and greenland, however when we enter Ordon Ranch we see that the terrain is a lot different. It's mountainous and there is very little forest, it reminds me of a valley...So tbh I think Ordona has more significance than just a neighbouring province to Faron but we only know of what we see in TP we actually don't know what is beyond this land. In my opinion there has to be a so called element represented within each area and I think that Ordona could be the province of the sky or wind for that matter.
Another interesting point that I thought was that maybe Ordona isn't a part of Hyrule at all....
Now these quotes hint at for me that Ordona isn't actually a part of Hyrule all together, the first quote nearly confirms that Ordona isn't a part of Hyrule and the 2nd quote seems the refer to Link as an "Ordonian" now this could be just a term used or that Link or the people of Ordona are not actually connected to the land of Hyrule. Now of course we know Link is a Hylian but the people of Ordan do not have the key feature of pointy ears that Hylians are famous for. Now I think that Link was in the same situation as Link from OoT adopted by the Village of Ordan as this would explain why he has no family connections. So are the people of Ordan a separate race all together? If so what defines them?
Now could it be that Ordana is about to become a new land in Hyrule or was it originally a land of Hyrule but cut off by a significant event...
This is a scene that stuck out to me, it shows a fissure in the ground and two sides...One being Ordona and the other being the entrance to Hyrule, notice that Rusl locks the gate as well maybe this proves that Ordona is actually separate to the land of Hyrule. Well the main point am making here is that this fissure could have been what caused the separation between Ordona and Hyrule, maybe through a geo-physical event or a war! We saw in SS that the demons broke through a fissure in the ground and waged war on the surface, could have the same happened here?
So overall I want to know your thoughts, Do you think Ordona has some significance, is it a part of Hyrule, or do you think that it was originally a part of Hyrule like some have speculated that it could be Kokiri Village or even the sealed grounds in SS...
