So, yeah... where was Zelda for like 100 years? I get Link was in the stasis pod/bed/tank-thing, I can buy that it took 100 years for that thing to resurrect him. Y'know, video games. But where did Zelda go? She hasn't aged a day by the time we see her after the Dark Beast Ganon fight, and talks to you across the game from... somewhere.

Did you take that to mean she's essentially some sort of energy form in this time? Did I miss something? It's really not a 'thing', but by introducing all these massive time gaps, it leaves a lot of things up in the air.

My understanding is that Ganon was forever bound to Hyrule Castle for that 100 year period, whilst everyone and everything else carried on. Zelda is assumedly the one keeping him there, but how her sanity didn't take its toll across 100 YEARS OF SILENCE, I'll never know.

She was inside Ganons tummy fighting him all that time. She didn't age or show any other effects because the Triforce (which I don't remember being mentioned once in the game) is magic.

Zelda was basically trapped inside a metaphysical bubble in a battle of endurance with Calamity Ganon, I'm imagining that is why she hasn't aged. I think it would have been really interesting if they had her age from inside and when you find her she's an old ass lady. I actually wish they did a lot of things different with the ending.
