There are wind arrows actors in the game, also the Forest Medallion object name is based on wind, the same goes for the Water Temple, which is based on ice. There's also a beta rom featuring all the beta stuff, it was based on that Nintendo Leak, which confirmed a lot of the stuff changed throughout the game.

The current understanding is that the Ice Cavern used to be the Ice Temple and the Bottom of the Well used to be the Shadow Temple.

I remember reading in a interview that Aonume started to redesign the dungeons, that's how we got the Forest and the Water temples. The forest doesn't fit the element theme at all.

Specially when you consider that video that talks about the mistranslations about Zelda lore. Had it been translated correctly, Light, Shadow, Ice and Fire elements would have made a lot of sense.

When Myiamoto got into the development he wanted a child Link, so they created the Temple of Time, which used to be the Light Temple.

I have a belief that parts of it went into the Spirit Temple, that's why we get two items in that temple. The mirror part of it was the partially the Light Temple.

Light <> Shadow (light)
Ice <> Fire (termodynamics)
Wind <> Earth (state of matter)
Spirit (the balance of every element)

That's probably what they had in mind in the beginning because that's basically how basically every element magic system works.

Forest is not really an element. I wish that the Forest Temple was actually a challenge for the Master Sword.
