So this is very bare bones and patchy, but my friend and I were talking about like, what if Link got a gloom hand(with the eyeball) instead of Rauru's hand? When it attacks him at the start of the game, it doesn't just take all his hearts and stamina, but corrupts Link himself. Ganon throughout the game would try to entirely corrupt Link, and so the shrines and gaining hearts and Sages would be much more important because if you don't, Ganon would tear Link apart in that final boss fight. Each shrine would purify Link a bit more, each Sage uses their Secret Stone to draw a specific amount out, and then when he gets up to the Light Dragon, it purifies what remains. I thought it'd be a cool idea, idk tho.
This also means that when you do meet Rauru, he explains this to you, and the shrines on the island give you the abilities, but al\so establish Rauru as a force helping Link fight this battle. It physically affects him, too. Like, the stuff spreads after Boss fights, then disappears when he gets the Master Sword, now cleansed of all this evil. Cutscenes could include him falling under some sort of influence and nearly attacking people, stuff like that.
If you have more to add or think this idea is cringe, feedback is encouraged all the same.
