Line 145:
== Groose is an ancestor of the Gerudo, or even Ganondorf himself ==
He's got the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150326033433/http://www.zeldainformer.com/images/news/Groose_artwork_1.jpg hair color] down. And he has [[Eyes of Gold]] [http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-17/art/zoot3d-ganondorf.jpg like] [http://www.gamerdna.com/uimage/7hkaLdo/full/ganondorf.jpg Ganondorf.] It's not unreasonable that generations of descendants would acquire the darker skintone if they settled in a desert region. It's possible Groose eventually helped found a civilization that would become the Gerudo. Perhaps even becoming the great great great grandfather of Ganondorf or something. His name DOES sound similar to Gerudo (unless I'm mispronouncing one or both names) and he did joke about naming something after himself when he first came to the surface.
* One of the bugs is called "Gerudo Dragonfly", meaning that "Gerudo" does not derive from "Groose".
** But besides that, we don't hear another mention of "Gerudo." Gerudo could have lived there at one point before Skyward Sword, but right now it seems unlikely, even with the dragonfly. That, and I kind of doubt Groose's similar appearance to the Gerudo/Ganondorf is entirely coincidental. Red hair/gold eyes is an unusual combination.
Line 419:
* Of the three, it's not entirely impossible to see Lanayru dying off. Lanayru desert probably eventually becomes the Gerudo Desert of Ocarina of Time. Lanayru, the most carefree and, yes, careless of the three might have been killed (we know they can die as we think of it, even if they technically keep some [[And I Must Scream|consciousness]]) as the hostile Gerudo population moved into the region, or perhaps even from carelessness (he'd already be dead if it weren't for Link's time traveling shenanigans.
* Faron also sustained serious injuries, and Link saved her. While the woods are typically a more livable area in Zelda games than the desert, Faron could have been done in either by her own self-importance, or even displeased the goddesses when she forced Link to take her own test, after he had passed the others. Her reckless behavior could have also led to the goddesses replacing her with better guardians, such as the Deku Tree, or Jabu-Jabu/Jabun. Another possibility, however, is that Faron eventually begat the original Zoras. The Parellas treat her like a queen, and Zoras typically have a monarchical government. Her scale grants the ability to swim, something only seen from Zoras up until now. In addition to this, take a look at the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgCIaC0wlls "Tadtones,"] compared to some [https://web.archive.org/web/20161118235514/http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/File:Hatched_Zora_Eggs.png newly hatched Zoras] from Majora's Mask. Of course, if her descendants are Zoras, or she helped the Parellas evolve into the Zoras, that still doesn't explain where she is.
* Finally, we have Eldin. He's the only one of the three dragons in the game which we never have to save from mortal danger, and who actually proves he can handle himself. He lives in a volcano which probably becomes Death Mountain, and unlike Lanayru Desert, the only indigenous population we ever see in volcanic areas are either beasts who he could handle himself against, or the Gorons, who are, well... The Gorons. He's very reclusive, which could have led to him surviving longer, as almost nothing ventures into Death Mountain to kill him. We see two other dragon who live in volcanos in the Zelda series, Volvalgia, and Valoo. Now Volvagia I don't really have a good explanation for, except that he could have been one of Eldin's children who turned evil for... Some reason? And then we have Valoo. Valoo is implied to be very old (he speaks old Hylian), and he has a similar fit of rage causing volcanic activity on the island to Eldin's during Skyward Sword. There exists a serious possibility that Eldin was living inside the same volcano for several thousand years.
