When you find the last move from him, he says he was once the hero. He apparently traveled away from Hyrule and never returned. He truly regrets this, which is why he said he will help the heros of the future to redeem himself.
I felt heartfelt at the time. The words just felt a little bit more real in the context that I had read it. Perhaps this is Shigeru's "sorry for screwing up the timeline" speech.
If you play the previous game, Wind Waker, at the end Ganondorf said "Your gods have destroyed you!"
...This is Shigeru's way of saying 'I ruined it.'
Mr. Miyamoto wrote Zelda. Any aspect of the story can sometimes be metaphorical and refer to Zelda. If you put the sequence together, it goes...
"I ruined it. But this time I shall fix it and do it correctly."
...Well, that is my theory. But I'm 100% sure the skeleton is one of the past Links, considering he says he once saved Hyrule.
On another note, "Your gods have destroyed you!" could mean "Nintendo is destroying you, Link. Now beings the new story of the new Hyrule." The King of Red Lions said not to copy Hyrule after Zelda's descendant said she'd make a new Hyrule for the king. He said something along the lines of... "It will not be Hyrule. Hyrule has died long ago and I should have respected that, but still, I lived in the shame hoping Hyrule could become something better. Hyrule was a failed kingdom. You will make a new kingdom, but that will not be Hyrule. That will be YOUR land."
This is later as I mentioned before fixed with the skeleton/hero who wants to redeem himself.
...
Which leads to the dual timeline theory .. which is broken again by my Skeleton theory. x3 But that is another topic for another day, PM me if you still have concerns.
