So I suppose your idea is the original sages are never "awakened" but are killed, and their sage powers end up transferring to compatible candidates a generation later during the imprisoning war? That's interesting in and of itself, but it does present a problem. All the towns in Zelda 2 are named after those sages (also Mido), which doesn't make sense if they died in obscurity in the imprisoning war.
"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)
