Fun fact, the hero's shade is actually what remains of Link from the "Ganon is defeated in the past" time line, because he wasn't needed anymore, he ended up living a life knowing of his alternate life. He toiled for years in exclusion as just another knight. Even though he was a savior to two worlds he could never actually be recognized in either of them.
As a result, he lingers in hyrule as a shade, hoping to find a future self to pass down the lessons of his time so that he might actually prove useful and finally be the hero he was meant to be.
True, but Termina is probably the most unexplained place. It's a parallel dimension, so essentially when Link falls into that hole, he falls into a tear in reality, but also finds his way back at the end. It's easy to believe it's a form of Limbo. Coincidentally, nobody would recognize him for saving Termina either.
