Purah should have been mineru's successor
When I was playing mineru's section in tears of the kingdom I had an idea that the sheikah, even if they are just a subrace of hylian, are the only race to not have a sage, and with mineru being the last sage, I thought the successor should have been a sheikah, as they have had history of relating to the spirits and undead like in ocarina of time with the shadow temple. Purah and mineru both have headpieces that resemble each other and purah is a a sheikah with a lot of story involvement in this game. And she also serves a similar role to Zelda and it link as mineru does with raaru and Sonia. So I thought it would be related to her. In the end mineru doesn't have a successor and I think that it should have been purah and she could have used her powers as a sage in a similar way to mineru, with a construct instead made of guardian parts, or use a remodeled or improved guardian. It could then be altered slightly so that at ours request you can change it to a skywatcher or something third possible one that link can ride, possible for water or climbing to have a well rounded traversal option for every terrain. It being an improved model, they could use mineru's guidance to still link it to the zonai battery as well. It would also mean that there's more sheikah technology in the world to make it feel less odd that it all disappeared or crumbled to dust like the lore says
