Yeah, I think story changes will come that will incorporate lore that ties in and aligns with later games in the series. 1996 Nintendo/Miyamoto didn't care about the Zelda timeline at all, whereas 2026 Nintendo puts a little more care into tying everything together.

Zelda is one of the few franchises where Nintendo actually cared about lore.

Not to the same consistency and detail that it does today. There was a lot more randomness and inconsistencies between entries.

Like with Breath of the Wild: the Rito went from looking like Hylians with beaks for noses and five-digit hands in Wind Waker, to now being full-on anthropomorphic bird people covered in feathers, wings instead of hands and actual bird heads, complete with beaks taking the place of mouths and noses.

Also, I never said Nintendo didn't care about lore. I said that it didn't care about the timeline. Fans came up with the timeline well before Miyamoto and Nintendo ever thought about it.
