I can only agree with your conclusion about the wyverians and hylians. Your musical connection may also be valid, but I'd have to check first. The other ones I can't really agree with. First off, the Rising Soul (it's that electric long sword right?) does not really resemble the Master Sword. Sure it looks similar, but then so does the Kokoto Hero's sword and an assortment of other weapons, one or two of which are probably designed to look similar in the first place. Second, how the heck can you even translate hylian? It's a made of language, modeled after Japanese symbols, that is intranslatable. You may be able to get an idea of what's being said by comparing what other sources say the hylian source is about, but the actual words are impossible to read. Another thing I must disagree with is the resemblance between King Dodongo and an agnaktor. The only similarity is that they both shoot firey substances. The uragaan has more similarities because like the King Dodongo it rolls up into a ball trying to crush you (just much more quickly).
