Rinku childishly invokes the trope as a result, and Skull Kid response is that maybe he will.

Moving to a different trope. The Twili are not long-lived, there's just a massive time difference between dimensions. Time in the Twilight Realm moves so slowly compared to Hyrule's dimension that Midna is still alive (albeit still aged).
