** The tunic he wears as an adult is the same style, not the same exact outfit.

to:

** The tunic he wears as an adult Kokiri Tunic is probably a one-size-fits-all design or can automatically scale itself to match Link’s age, whereas the same style, not other clothes are only designed with adults in mind. In addition, there could be some GameplayAndStorySegregation with regard to what other tunics look like; they likely aren’t meant to resemble the same exact outfit.Kokiri clothes so closely (because why would they?), but the game renders them as such so that switching between them is just a simple change in color.

**Actually, the temples in this game mostly seem like they could have been places of worship. You just have to imagine how they would look like without all the traps, puzzles and monsters, which are seemingly recent additions to them.
*** The Forest Temple is a bit of an exception, it's more a huge forest mansion than a temple, but the basement where we fight the boss could have been some sort of hidden shrine originally, before Ganondorf made it all about himself. The twisty corridors are either a part of the dark magic infecting the place, or its original architect was into M.C. Escher.
*** The Fire Temple looks very much like a temple. The entrance hall even has what looks like an altar of sorts. The prison cells seem like a late addition, seeing how little they fit with the rest of the architecture of the place, and how crudely escavated they appear. The big room full of lava and rope bridges is probably a section that collapsed at some point.
*** The Water Temple is also very easy to envision as a place of worship. The main tower was probably the heart of the temple, with the side rooms serving varying purposes. If the temple was fully submerged, it would be no issue for the Zora to navigate it at all. The cavernous bit is either an older, more primitive place of worship that was kept as-is, or just a cave system that ended up connecting to the body of the temple.
*** The Shadow Temple is a curious one. The game's text makes it clear to us that even before it was overtaken by Ganon's monsters, the place was a hidden torture chamber and mass grave. At some point in the distant past, it was probably a temple/mausoleum (the part with the ship deep in the temple in particular seems to point at some viking-like burial rituals), but at some point during the recent wars it was turned into a place of torture and slaughter.
*** The Spirit Temple doesn't need an explanation, it's the most temple-like of them all.

** Ganondorf is occasionally susceptible to attacks from normal weapons, but in most games they aren’t capable of outright killing him — you can’t defeat him with Biggoron’s Sword in this game or with the Ordon Sword in Twilight Princess, regardless of how much physical damage he sustains from either one. The collapse of his castle probably did rough him up a bit, but it’s not that unusual that it didn’t kill him.

** The Ocarina of Time does showcase time-travelling powers in this game. Zelda uses it to bring Link back to the past at the end of the game. And in Majora's Mask, Zelda explains the time travel powers as the Goddess of Time interviening, so it's less that the Song of Time plus Ocarina of Time has that power intrinsically, and more like Link is summoning the help of a deity that he didn't need help from in the previous game.

** You can grow beans on some store-bought piece of cotton, it doesn't need super nutritious soil to sprout. Still doesn't mean it'll sprout inside you if you eat them. Even "magical" beans still need sunlight, that's just not something that needs to be provided by the person growing them.

** He didn't need to know Link was going after the Sages in order to corrupt the temples, that was just a natural consequence of him touching the Triforce, the temples were the source from which his evil flowed into Hyrule from the corrupted Sacred Realm. And when Link frees the first Sage, Ganondorf instantly becomes aware of him, as he talks directly to Link after the Phantom Ganon fight.

** The cursing of the temples was immediate. The moment Ganondorf touched the Triforce, the Sacred Realm became the Dark World, and evil started leaking from the temples (which have their own connections to the Sacred Realm, like the Temple of Time). It's just the Sages' attempt at awakening that took seven years.

Added DiffLines:

** The Master Sword has specific evil-banishing properties that allow it to hurt Ganondorf just enough for him to get sealed by the Sages. The rocks did not. Going by the events of the backstory of Twilight Princess, massive damage to his body (probably caused more by Link peppering him with Light Arrows than the collapse of the castle) forced the Ganon transformation as a way to keep him from dying.
