I have a question to throw out to the LU community
What is your take on Wild's death at the start of BOTW. I've seen it split between "he didn't die they put him in the shrine just in time to save him" and "he died, that's why they put him in the shrine".
I'm personally on the side of "he did die" because Shrine of Resurrection implies in its name that he died. Resurrection literally means to raise from the dead. Plus if he was just seriously wounded, it wouldn't have taken 100 years to heal.
To me it's the first, the "he didn't die they put him in the shrine just in time to save him" one. I really don't like it when coming back from the dead is something possible in fiction. For the LoZ Universe I like to think that nothing short of Divine Intervention can bring back the dead.
So in my interpretation Link was at death door, like "his heart stopped" kind of door death, and the shrine acted like a Resuscitation Team at the hospital (he also got first aid in the way here). And Resurrection is the hylian name for Resuscitation. Link then spent 100 years in coma while the Shrine maintain him alive until he wake up while also fixing the brain damage Link surely got in the time where his heart stopped beating.
