** As for the Shrine's failure to restore Link's original supply of hearts and stamina, remember that one of the first things Link hears from both Zelda and Rhoam is that Hyrule is ''running out of time''. It's Zelda's voice that rouses him from his slumber, because Zelda knows that her sealing power can't hold out much longer: if her chosen knight doesn't get a move on ''now'', all he's going to awaken to is Malice and dust. Had Link lingered in the resurrection vat for an additional four or five centuries, he potentially ''could'' have strode out of that Shrine with fifty hearts, six stamina wheels, and a full set of perfect memories - heck, he might've had SuperStrength and a HealingFactor to boot - but with Ganon kicking down the walls of his cage, our boy couldn't be allowed that luxury: he ''has'' to haul out of his hospital bed ''now'', against medical advice or not.

** The concept that the memory is Fi's still holds water. The reincarnations of Link are her true master and she's spiritually [[IncrediblyLamePun linked]] to him by providence and destiny. That she can transfer her memories to him, if she chooses to, is not out of character or context of the setting. All said and done: she's an [[AWizardDidIt intelligent magic sword]].

** Additionally, she ends up walking away with the knowledge almost everyone she knew is dead and just came out of [[AndIMustScream a century of imprisonment]] with an EldritchAbomination. While she hardly shows much angst about it in the sequel, she most likely has some underlying trauma that prevents her from being unscathed.

I wrote this all out before realizing that it’s asking about the fairies in other games.

** Tears of the Kingdom reveals that the Great Fairies can relocate their fountains if they so desire, as they’ve all settled nearer to the stables to be of more use to travelers. Furthermore, Hyrule is littered with smaller villages that look to have been destroyed in the Calamity. It’s possible their fountains weren’t so isolated before Ganon’s return.

** Tears of the Kingdom shows that the lava that covered most of Death Mountain in this game has cooled enough to become traversable solid rock. Presumably, the eruptions caused by Rudania were to blame for so much lava being there in the first place, meaning the Gorons had to wait for it to cool before they could access the mines.

** Come to think of it, how would being submerged in the reservoir have "concealed" Vah Ruta from the Zora? They spend much of their lives underwater. You'd think fisherfolk with a hankering for lakebed seafood would know exactly where she was.
** Considering the number of massive ancient relics and remnants scattered across Hyrule's landscape - ruins, leviathan skeletons, giant statues, sacred springs, fairy fountains - that local people only know about from rumors at best, it seems like most villagers never step outside their immediate communities. Until the towers rose, the Beasts were just another bizarre half-buried enigma in the woods/sand/mountains/magma fields.

** Possibly the ancients stationed the Guardians there to ''defend'' the Temple from Ganon's forces during the previous conflict, when the Sheikah robots were still loyal to their makers. Whatever events led to the site being abandoned and half-buried, the machines were left on-station rather than recalled to the Castle vaults.

** Regarding how Ganon raised monsters before the Calamity, it might have something to do with the seal he's under weakening. Zelda comments on a recent increase in monster attacks in one memory and theorizes that it's a sign of Ganon's imminent return. We also see a similar phenomonon in ''Skyward Sword'', where several characters mention that monsters began to pop up shortly before Link arrived on the surface (which coincides with final days before the seal over Demise fails). This seems to imply that the appearance of monsters is a natural consequence of Ganon breaking through the seal. Thus, when Zelda sealed him in the castle, his power was contained and the monsters either stopped or dropped back to manageable numbers. However, Blood Moons give him enough of a boost to momentarily overcome Zelda's seal and spawn more monsters before she drags him back in.

** At least ''some'' of the monsters Link encounters in the memories don't seem to be as closely bound to Ganon as the ones from ''Age of Calamity'' or after his revival. The memory in which Link had just defeated a horde of foes has corpses of moblins, lynels, and so on just lying around intact, ''not'' vanished in a puff of purple-black smoke. That suggests that Ganon only started claiming the slain monsters' remains (presumably so he could revive them at the Blood Moon) when the seal was on the brink of shattering. Up to then, Hyrule's monster populations were probably just getting on with their lives. ''Nasty'' lives full of bullying, raiding and theft most likely, but not with any fixed agenda beyond individual and/or tribal ambition.

** Also, Zelda, unlike Champion Link, is very eloquent and scholarly. She could much more clearly explain that A)) yes, Link is the Champion of old, who was rejuvenated over the course of years via ancient Shiekah technology, and B) that she had sealed herself away using sacred magic to do battle with Ganon, to prevent him ravaging the land. Link probably just decided that trying to explain things was too complicated

* During the "Despair" memory, Zelda laments that Mipha, Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa are all trapped inside the Divine Beasts, which were taken over by Ganon...Exactly how does she know about either of these things, though? What would make her think that the Champions were still on board the Divine Beasts, unless she and Link had time to visit all four of their villages to verify that that's what had happened? For all they know, the Champions could've realized the corruption and chosen not to investigate, meaning they were still safe.

** Ganon, no matter the game, is a nasty sadistic bastard. It's entirely possible he might have ''broadcast'' a vision of what the Blights had done to the Champions specifically to Zelda, intending to break her will and cripple her potential to seal him away.
