I am just asaying  Eiji Aonuma himself said the Rito are the Zora from Oot evolved into birds. The biggest giveaway of this is Medli has the same bloodline as the Earth sage which is Laruto. We have seen bird people in BoTw but does not confirm they are one in the same. IN fact they look quite different. Sure different art styles but the Zora look pretty mucfh the same in design. 

They were confirmed to be Ritos in this month's Famitsu. 

Ah ok but still the Rito in WW evolved from the Zora. No way to dispute that.

I like this guys theory on the timeline and explains that certain races may not matter so much to place them.
