** Wasn't it said that the Link of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' didn't have the spirit of the hero? Even if Link dies without issue, Hyrule might not have long to wait.
!!FridgeLogic:
* Link's blood is needed to revive Ganon, but if Link dies by falling into lava, all of Link is vaporized, blood and all. Yet somehow, Ganon is revived.
** As mentioned by a troper on [[Headscratchers/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink the Headscratchers page]], maybe Ganon's minions already had some of Link's blood on hand from previous encounters and Link needed to die first for the ritual to work. Becomes FridgeHorror when you think about what happens when Link dies of natural causes, if some of Ganon's minions are still alive.
*** But what if it matters how Link died? If Ganon's faction is going to all this trouble to capture and sacrifice him, it's easy to imagine that sacrificing Link would make Ganon just about invincible; that using Link's blood without killing him would bring Ganon back strong but not ''that'' strong (Voldemort pulls this off in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''; you don't remember this sequence because Voldemort is so stupid that he's dead again twenty pages later); while using Link's blood after waiting for him to die of natural causes would produce a weaksauce revival, possibly even a situation like ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' where there'd be no point even bothering.
*** But Ganon's faction includes a number of immortal beings (certainly demons, probably centaurs and wizards), so Hyrule is going to find out the answer to this, one way or the other... unless Link's wish on the Triforce at the end of this game crippled Ganon's faction at least as badly as his wish at the end of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' did. And the power of a Triforce wish depends on the emotional force of the person making the wish -- so a Link who just survived Zelda II is probably going to wish hard enough to seal Ganon and his forces for a very long time. Maybe even [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild ten thousand years]].
