I think the reason why we do not see Sheikah in the ancient past is because Sonia isn't the main royal bloodline of the Goddess. Plus the Downfall Timeline gives the best explanation of the main and side bloodlines.
My theory is Zelda, in Tears of the Kingdom, travels back in time to the period before the prologue of Skyward Sword. Here is my reasoning. If Tears of the Kingdom's Gannon, was a reincarnation of Demise, where is Link? Where is the Master Sword. In theory if there is one, there should be the other, according to the curse. TotK's Gannon doesn't recognize the master sword, he only knows of it via Raru and Zelda's discussion of it. My theory is this incarnation of Ganondorf predates Skyward Sword and the creation of the Master Sword. My theory is TotK Ganondorf - 'the Demon King' is related to Demise - 'the Demon King' (they both have the same skirt in their boss phase). I think the TotK Gannon although "sealed" by Raru, was able to leak out similar to the events seen in Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom. TotK Gannon's spirit is (or has become) Demise, in my theory. Demise's scar is where Gannon's sacred stone was mounted, and probably had to be torn away from the stones great spiritual power. Evidence to support this theory, the missing goddess statue. In Raru's time period, there's no giant Hylia goddess statue in the forgotten temple. I think this is because Hylia hasn't had to act yet. The Zonai are on the earth and they are handling the kingdom, however after Raru seals TotK Gannon, he and Mineru are out of commission leaving the kingdom Zonai-less and completely unprotected. In the Prologue of Skyward Sword, it describes 'a war of unmatched scale and ferocity the likes of which would never be seen again. One dark, fateful day, the earth cracked wide and malevolent forces rushed forth from the fissure. They mounted a brutal assault upon the surface people, driving the land into deep despair... They burnt forests to ash, choked the land's sweet springs, and murdered without hesitation.' I think this is what Hidemaro Fujibayashi alluded to when he said, "there may have been a history of destruction before the story of Hyrule's foundation". Because of Demise's rampage on earth is why we see so little of the OG Zonai architecture in the Zelda series, except what was hidden beneath the primitive looking Zonai structures in Faron. Raru doesn't even consider using the Triforce, because, one he can handle it on his own, and two it's still in Hylia's protection. It's also why Demise needs the power of the Triforce, because it's the only (in universe) item that would be more powerful than Raru and his spiritual stone. This theory explains the ruins of civilization on the earth's surface, in Skyward Sword. The mining facilities, the robots, the temples, all were originally part of Raru's Hyrule. It also may be why the dragons in Skyward Sword, (Lanayru, Farosh, and Eldin) can talk, and aren't big almost mindless flying guys. It might be because they were once Zonai and because of their DNA, the dragonification, takes longer, and they hold onto their sentience longer than, say the Hylian Zelda, did. They eventually do become giant sky guys because they are immortal, but the time between Zelda's time travel and Skyward sword isn't that long, so the dragons are still on the small side and still have clothes and can speak. The Shiekah aren't in the Zonai time period, because there is really no need for a group like the Shiekah. The Shiekah protected an served the Hylian Royal family and were the chosen protectors of the goddess Hylia. Raru wouldn't have needed protection by mere humans, and if my theory is true the goddess wouldn't be mortal yet. In my theory the Master Sword was taken back, by Zelda's time shift abilities, to before it was created, however the sword would be in Zelda's dragon hair, hidden and protected, during the forging of the Master Sword, and the events of Skyward Sword, and the entirety of all the time-lines for that matter, if I'm correct. No reboot necessary.
@@matthewwall-so9orThe Hero of the Sky used the Tri-Force to erase Demise completely (soul, body and essence). Only thing survived of Demise was his curse. I completely agree with your theory as well. I remember when ToTK was first released and I kept telling everyone it was before Skyward Sword!!! I pointed out the same things as well. Only major issue with the theory is that The Hero encounters Ganon constantly throughout history. Through various realms and timelines!
There is another connection between the people of the ancient past and the sheikah. On the pyramid, so the lightning temple in totk, there are depictions of camels. I don't see it as a coincidence that the sheikah made a devine beast in the form of a camel that is connectedto the element of lightning.
Zelda states at the very beginning of the game that it is rumored that the whole royal bloodline goes back to Rauru and Sonia, when they come along the murals showing Raurus decent from the heavens and proposing to Sonia. So the idea of a child from this two is not without reason, even tho most people say interracial children are not a thing. To the sheika idea… well the idea that they protected the ancient tech sounds on point. The logo looks like the 3th eye and the tear on the nose that both mineru and Rauru. Maybe the Zonai had some secret agents for intelligent. zia 😅
Sonia is most likely a descendant of Skyward sword Zelda. Totk past is most likely after all games except Botw because the Zora and Gerudo isn´t shown before Ocarina of time while the Rito aren´t shown before Wind waker and the Gerudo ears are pointy in Totk´s past, round in Ocarina of time and pointy again in Botw.
I think they definitely are realated to each other because the Sonia have the extra eye and a tear below just like the sheika

This is a very interesting theory. Although I'm not willing to believe it entirely, you bring up some meaningful and plausible points.
I really like this theory and hadn’t thought about it this way
