Yeah, that is a hint, but lazy's doing the same thing. Really though, I go with that because that seems be exactly what WW is saying. Ya got a point though.
Now, I wouldn't say that OOT's temples actually had electricity, but still they had some very advanced mechanical stuff, like the water temple seemed to have hydrolics up the wazoo. The only one I've seen that actually HAS to be using electricity is that tower of the gods. That one, I'm guessing that it's either generated by magic, like some sort of lightning crystal (as you suggest) or it's some super advanced generator we can't even fathom. Now if the gods made it, there's one reason it would be tech rather than pure magic. The same reason creatures like the humans operate purely on scientific principles, while other creatures operate on magic like the fairies. The will of the gods that there should be a balance of the universe they themselves created and magic, the energy of the gods. Something like that...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
