Not exactly related to the timeline but this brought up an interesting thought, did we ever actually get any confirmation that Sonia and Rauru had kids before she was killed? I didn't finish the 13 tablets quest so maybe it was answered there but the memories themselves don't really make any kind of indication that they had kids.The only thing I think is gained by any of that is linking Zelda to Rauru and Sonia by blood, in order to explain both the light and time association. BotW Zelda was already linked to light, so that bit wasn't strictly necessary, but not time. In that sense, Rauru needs to be royal to be an ancestor of Zelda, and with him being the last of an ancient race, perhaps it's easier to have him be the first king. It kinda just throws the oddity of the time power on to Sonia, though, as her significance is completely unexplained. In some ways, that's fine; underexplained ancient stuff leaves a lot of room to the imagination, and is probably better than Zelda just inexplicably having some control over time after not showing a trace of that in BotW. On the other, OoT and SS kinda already linked Zelda to time (indirectly through Hylia in the latter), so while weird strictly in the BotW/TotK continuity, Zelda's association with time would've been fine for longtime fans.
Would be kinda funny if they went the Futurama route and Zelda wound up becoming her own ancestor which somehow gave her the triforce power.
