Nothing ever says they actually succeeded in taking the SR for a time. In fact the English version specifically says they "tried" to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm. So from what it sounds like, they never did enter it.


Again, the English version says:

Therefore, they never succeeded. They never needed to be chased out of the SR because they were never in it.





Seems to me people in OoT do consider the SR as part of Hyrule.(I know there are more quotes, I'm just too lazy to find them)


Sounds more like speculation, since nothing ever suggests that.


Probably.
By pulling the MS, he opened the way to the SR. But since Link's spirit was sealed before he could return the MS to it's pedistal, the "portal" remained open.
