** I imagine that the sword was even more 'asleep' than it was before, since the Sages could restore it right back up; not to mention the power of Evil's Bane is from the Divine Flames, not Fi. As for the sword being left behind...well, she completed her purpose, and judging by Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, Ganondorf and thus Demise's curse might be dealt with forever in that timeline. Meaning Fi's purpose is complete. That's the happiest thing you can really give her.

* Skipper, like all of the little robots in the desert, are only alive in the past. And Skipper proved the robots are actually aware that they are in a future where [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair they and everything they worked for has decayed and been forgotten.]] They may be robots, but they're sentient and have personalities. You'd think that'd create some sort of existential dread.

* So it's heartwarming to know that Fi has been with you in some form or another through every Zelda game since the first one. But what about in ''Wind Waker'', when the Master Sword has been severely depowered, to the point of being little better than a regular sword? This seems to imply: 1) That Fi was either [[AlmostDeadGuy dead or dying]] by the time WW Link picked her up, and 2) that even if WW Link "saved" Fi by restoring the sword's power, he still left her impaled through Ganondorf's head while Hyrule was being destroyed around them. Somehow Wind Waker's ending [[TearJerker got even sadder]].

* The subterranean area of Ancient Cistern was a mild case of FridgeHorror - after all, there have been plenty of creepy dungeons throughout the years. But think about it - the Hindu imagery, the golden light colors, the lotus blooms - it's pretty much Heaven. And what's downstairs from Heaven? That's right. Link just went into a zombie-infested, blood-watered Hell.

* This game was known to detail the origins of the Master Sword long before the game was released. But why was it named the Master Sword? [[spoiler: This version of Link was the one who unlocked the hidden potential within the Goddess Sword, thus creating the Master Sword in the first place. Fi is the living spirit of the Goddess Sword. What does she call Link, the one who wields the sword? She calls Link her "master". The name "Master Sword" is a reference to the original owner of the blade. The very first "Master" of the sword is Link himself, thus making the "Master Sword" HIS sword.! As shown by the ending, Fi treasured her time with Link despite it just being her purpose. It is brilliant, (and also heartwarming), to see that the spirit within the sword named it after her very first companion.]]

* One of the main questions plaguing the Zelda series concerns the dungeons and temples. Why are they there? Why are they so convoluted and hard? Some actually serve or used to serve a practical purpose, but others are just... there. This game explains several dungeons and various other trials by saying [[AWizardDidIt the Goddess left them for the Chosen Hero.]] Little more than a HandWave... until you find out [[spoiler: Zelda is the human incarnation of the aforementioned Goddess. She set up those trials SPECIFICALLY to be difficult and convoluted- to force Link to become courageous, powerful, and wise enough to use the full power of the Triforce. She even shed her immortal form and allowed herself to be born as a human in his time, to befriend him and give him the motivation to undertake the trials. The entire Zelda series is arguably a massive, ongoing [[XanatosGambit Xanatos]]/BatmanGambit by the Goddess Hylia to ensure that there is always a Hero strong enough to use the Triforce against evil. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why it is the Legend of ''Zelda.'']]

At first, you think it is because it is incredibly strong anyways and probably has enough power to level Hyrule, but after turning Fi into the Master Sword, these battle are given an even greater importance because a) the Imprisoned requires the Goddess Hylia's soul to regain its true form as Demise, b) Zelda is in fact Hylia reborn as a mortal, and c) Zelda has put herself into a crystallized sleep capsule in order to maintain the seal for as long as she can, and d) said capsule is in the Sealed Temple not far from where the Imprisoned's seal is located. Meaning if you cannot stop the Imprisoned from reaching the top, you've just allowed him to regain his true form.]] - tclittle
