#Ive seen many people saying: we already have Ganondorf and Sonia but where is the hero?

Rauru is a reincarnation of the hero (TotK Spoilers)

Every time a reincarnation of Demise comes to destroy Hyrule there's always a hero to stop it. But where was the hero during The imprisoning war?

Here are the reasons why I think this:

First of all, thanks to the hero from 10,000 years ago, we know that the hero doesn't necessarily have to be a Hylian, he can be any other race.

Rauru and Sonia are parallels to Link and Zelda. We can see this in their eyes (Zelda and Sonia have green eyes, Link and Rauru have blue eyes), in their hair (Zelda's short hair is to contrast with Sonia's long hair, Link's loose hair represents Rauru), and on their clothes (in most of the game Zelda wears Sonia's dress, Link can get the Charged armor which is Rauru's outfit).

In the fifth memory, Mineru says that Rauru has a power of light that can destroy evil and that's literally what the master sword does.

Rauru's theme is an incomplete version of The Legend of Zelda main theme. In Skyward Sword, we find out that the main theme is the hero's song (Zelda has her lullaby, the main theme is Link's song).

In the "Messages from an Ancient Era" side quest, we learn more about Rauru and Sonia's life. We found out that Rauru liked to sneak out of the castle to go hunting and then Sonia would take him back to the castle (in my opinion that's very similar to Link and Zelda's dynamic). This means that Rauru knew how to use the bow, and that is one of Link's most iconic weapons.

Some reincarnations of the hero have a sister (in the case of Wind Waker and Breath Of The Wild), Rauru has Mineru, his older sister.

In the English version of the characters profiles it says that Rauru didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself to save his kingdom, but in the Latin Spanish version it says that Rauru fought with courage to defeat the Demon king (Link is almost always the wielder of the Triforce of courage).

As I said before, when there are a reincarnation of Demise, there are also the reincarnations of the hero and the goddess Hylia. During the imprisoning war the cycle repeated again: Ganondorf was Demise, Sonia was the goddess Hylia and Rauru was the hero.

(This is just speculation) I think Rauru's design is also a proof as well: Most of the Links are blond, with blue eyes, with earrings and have green clothes. Rauru also has these characteristics.
