Triforce Clause

He's a spirit, so he's already dead. Meaning that his wish won't be undone.
The Great Sea wasn't created by a Triforce wish, and dead people can't wish on the Triforce/once you die, your Triforce Wish goes away, so this is probably not a Triforce wish. Or, if it is a wish, at some point, his spirit "dies,"
like the king and champions at the end of BotW
, and then his wish can be erased.

SS (Zelda and Link) The destruction of Demise
ALttP (Link) The undoing of the damage Ganon did
ALBW (Zelda and Link) Lorule's triforce to return
WW (tkotrl) For Ganondorf to be submerged under the sea along with Hyrule
Like @Fraxinus found, it's probably Ganon's wish to make the Dark World. But that would suggest that all of these could be undone...maybe that could explain SS's wonky time travel ending, or bolster some of @Moblinking5000 Triforce Wish theory arguments, or support @Pokémaniac13 BotW AT theory.

Lmao you said that you think that the Breath of the Wild (BotW) Hyrule is the underwater Hyrule from Wind Waker (the Adult Timeline (AT)). By saying that Breath of the Wild Hyrule is Wind Waker Hyrule, you agree with the BotW AT theory: Breath of the Wild is at the end of the Adult Timeline. Maybe the Deku Tree's Success theory variation (the Korok planting leads to the draining of the sea), or, as was proposed here, the impermanence of King Daphnes' pseudo-Triforce wish explains how that is possible.

Actually, I’m more of an “Inevitable Timeline” guy.

Originally, I was going to let this one float by because everything seemed to already be said. But, there was one statement that never quite sat right. It seemed good, at first, but became more and more sour the more I chewed on it.

Essientially a Triforce wish would be a band-aid over a problem with this clause, when in fact it should always solve the problem

This mainly bothers me form a general narrative standpoint. The Triforce is a macguffin. In general, when all the problems in a story are solved by a macguffin, it is considered deus ex machina, and most people don't like it. This is why we rarely see Triforce wishes executed, and the few times we do, it is coupled with the some other actions the main character needs to deal with (as was mentioned earlier). The far more satisfying narative is that the heroes make things work, and attaining the macguffin only helps with that happy ending.

Then there is the technical side of things; the actual in universe aspects. There are two reasons why the impermanence of the wishes actually makes sense. One of which has already been talked about. If wishes could not be undone, ever, then any time Ganon gets a hold of the triforce, the situation would be irreversible. The moment makes an all encompassing wish, without end, the game is done. Imagine a wish to the effect of becoming the uncontested, beloved, and undying ruler of the eternally prosperous, happy, and expanding kingdom. If the wishes can be undone, then there is always hope, and there is always a threat. This also gives more reasoning for Lorule to get rid of their Triforce, when they realized that it doesn't actually fix problems, but just enforces a wisher's wish, for a limited time. (All that drama, and no lasting solutions.)

It could be seen as a clever part of the divine plan. What if the three goddesses intended the relic to be a kind of lesson. Their power could help the people to attain any goal, but it is the effort and will of the people that will perpetuate the wish beyond their lifespan.
