Where Did the Cut Wind Waker Dungeons Wind Up?

Season 12 Bonus 3
 
This week we’re going to engage in some baseless speculation about the dungeons cut from the Wind Waker. There is not much – if anything – we truly know about these dungeons. But that’s not going to stop us from having some fun and speculating what could have become of them, and why I think they wound up in Twilight Princess.
