How does Ganondorf live so long?

Ganondorf's longevity stems primarily from his possession of the Triforce of Power, which grants him near-immortality and revives him even after execution. This power allows him to cheat death by regenerating or being sealed away, with the Triforce keeping him alive until Link or Zelda can stop him, often requiring specific weapons like the Master Sword to truly defeat him. The complex Zelda timeline also means different incarnations of Ganondorf appear across various eras, with the Triforce of Power ensuring his spirit endures.

Why is Ganondorf sometimes a pig?

Ganon is a pig (or boar) because it's his true, beastly form, reflecting his greed and lust for power, a transformation triggered by claiming the Triforce in A Link to the Past, while creators also drew inspiration from a childhood fear of a boar and the symbolism of pigs as unclean or gluttonous in some cultures, linking the monstrous pig to raw, destructive power.

How did Zelda not age in BOTW?

Zelda didn't age in Breath of the Wild because she used her sacred sealing power to trap herself and Calamity Ganon in a timeless state within Hyrule Castle for 100 years, effectively putting her in a form of magical stasis or suspended animation that halted her aging, much like Link's slumber in the Shrine of Resurrection.

Why did Zant snap his neck?

Zant snapping his neck at the end of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a symbolic, mysterious event, with the most popular theory being that it signifies the breaking of his spiritual link to Ganondorf, allowing Zant to die permanently (after being impaled by Midna) and for Ganon to finally succumb to Link's fatal blow, as the power Ganondorf "housed" in Zant was the only thing sustaining him. It represents Zant's final act of defiance or realization that he was merely a pawn, cutting ties as Ganon's power faded, leading to both their ultimate ends.
