So... How'd That Happen?

I don't get how he's sealed away for 7 years,doesn't eat or drink a thing, and still stays alive.

he obviously turns into a tree for the duration (note: sarcasm)

He's put into a seal by sages.
He's also a fictional video game character.

You can stand in the field and keep playing the Sun's Song which will make the days keep going by, but he doesn't eat a thing yet is 100% healthy. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HELP ME! [/joke]

This isn't actually canon, but in the manga (which is freaking awesome), Link goes to train in sword-fighting with Impa after he becomes an adult, and when he's done, Impa pierces his ears, explaining that it's a rite of passage for male Sheikah.

Yeah, I read the manga too.
(I totally agree freaking awesome)
I don't think it is canon.
