The vague time-skip between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is so interesting to me. People say it's been seven years as a homage to Ocarina of Time. Others say it's more like three to five.
Personally, I think it's a lot more, and the reason why, is because of 1) Purah's aging and 2) Link's "Tony Hawk" status.
Now, I get it, the two don't seem exactly related, but ask yourself this one question: How exactly did Purah age herself?
In Breath of the Wild, we learn through her diary that she tested the beta rune for anti-aging and it did its job a little too well. So well, that she considers making its counterpart, an aging rune. Notwithstanding all the ethical implications of age manipulation, Purah could have very well aged herself over the course of a few years, if we include the time it took to research the rune, plus the testing of its functionality.
But what if she didn't?
I know you're reading this with doubt. It's Purah. She's going to do it. Hear me out.
In her diary, Purah wrote that she had accidentally reversed 70 years of her life over one night. It led her to fear that she would become a newborn baby. She had every right to be scared. All that she has learned in her lifetime, gone, just like that. Can you imagine, then, how daunting the prospect of aging oneself would be? What if she accidentally aged too quickly, with a deteriorated mind that could no longer keep track of all that she has learned and discovered? Even worse, what if she goes too far and dies? The Sheikah are no exceptions to death. With anti-aging, the risk was having to relearn everything from birth. With aging, the risk is not being able to learn at all. Mad scientist that she is, she wouldn't take those chances. Even the strongest calculations would still show a margin of error that is too high to look over. She's not invincible.
So let her age naturally. What does that tell us?
Disregarding her mental age of 124 (the oldest of the Sheikah, ignoring all Sheikah monks), Purah was physically six years old in Breath of the Wild. If we assume her form in Tears of the Kingdom is equivalent to the form of her 24 year old self in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity...
18 years have passed.
There's a lot to be said about how Zelda and Link don't look like they've aged at all, but that's not the important part. The important part is that Link, Hero of the Wild, hasn't had to save the world in almost two decades. Look at yourself from eighteen, twenty years ago and look in the mirror. Do you recognize yourself? Maybe, maybe not. But the differences are striking, aren't they?
I think that's it. That's why the people of Hyrule don't recognize him.

So when we hear the excellent and confident performances of the returning English VA's in TOTK, you're all going to say 'thank you' to Age of Calamity for giving them the practice they needed to really understand the characters to do a spectacular job in TOTK, right?

Once again - okay, but WHY Tulin?
He was a set piece in BOTW. Just sort of there to give Teba some depth of character. I only found out about him when he started showing up in fanworks. In AOC, he's not even in the main game, just the DLC, where I asked the same question of: why Tulin? (BTW, if you think AOC felt like a wish-fulfillment fanfic, then the DLC is 'hold my beer') All the other missions made sense in the established setting of AOC, but Tulin showing up was the one that really broke my suspension of disbelief. But that's another post.
Which brings us back to TOTK. Why have Tulin be the Rito companion? We already know the New Champions (or at least, Champion Hopefuls) from BOTW. They're bringing Sidon and Riju back, why not bring back Teba too? (I presume Yunobo will show up too, and I'll tell you why in a second) Why remove a popular character and replace him with his son?
Because TOTK seems to be about the new era of Hyrule. It's being rebuilt, it's setting aside the past it had been trapped in while Calamity Ganon was still a problem. It's the new generation of Hyrule, starring the descendants (or relatives) of the previous generation of heroes. In short, young people.
Tulin is young. Teba is not. That's why Tulin is here. And that's also why I think Yunobo will show up. Because he's young. It's a choice on the part of the writers/director to establish a new generation. But here's hoping Teba will at least make an appearance.
That all in mind, let us ask once again, why Tulin? He was a mere named NPC in BOTW. He does run a mini-game for Link at the flight range, but aside from that, he's not a plot character. And yet, he's in the TOTK trailer as a main character. What I'm asking is this:
Would they still have used Tulin as the young Rito champ if the AOC DLC had never been published?
Because if Nintendo wanted to make a point of this 'new generation' setup with a young cast, I'll betcha they might have picked some young Rito rando instead. Teba, being a father, is no longer 'young'. And they could easily still have done that and we'd just have to learn about this rando, but no! They picked someone we know and someone who was now an established character. It's just unusual that a mainline game wasn't the one to establish him.
Look, I could be way off base here. They may very well have planned to pick Tulin all along, especially once they realized how popular he was with the fandom even before AOC. This is all pure speculation. We won't know why until the game actually comes out, or until we start getting interviews with the devs. We may never know. But it really does make me wonder how much of an influence AOC had on the development of TOTK.
