Ocarina of Time After Credit Cutscene Problem

[skybird11]

after the credits we see link return to the temple of time with the master sword in the pedestal. then he leaves through the OPEN DOOR OF TIME leaving that area and sword accesable to ANYONE including ganondorf. not that he can even touch the master sword to get into the sacred realm but now its easy to trick someone into drawing out the sword and entering the sacred realm. this problem could lead the child timeline to become the adult timeline but as we all know link's fortunate enough for that not to happen. im just simply pointing that out and how it could have had the potential to cause problems. this is not to debate about timelines, please.

I think you have to be chosen to lift the Sword from the pedestal, think Excalibur. No regular Joe can just go up and do it. I think Rauru says Link lifted it because he was chosen as Hero of Time, likewise in ALttP Link can't lift it until he collects to Pendants of Virtue.

The Door of Time was sealed, as Zelda told him to do so. Apparently Ganondorf tried to tear apart the Temple of Time to get to the Sacred Realm in the time Link went back to, which is why it's in ruins in TP and ALttP. He couldn't open the Door of Time, though, and he was ridden out.
