Again, stretching the limits of my knowledge on this game. If I remember correctly, Zelda is somewhat of a scholar. She researched artifacts and stumbled upon Calamity Ganon. She dedicated 100 years of her life to gathering artifacts and staying within the castle to keep him sealed away. Hence Link's comment. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course. Trying to keep up with the lore of the story, given that I've not played it yet. XD
