Paradoxes in OoT / MM

Links wakes up from the sacred realm after 7 years.
Link Goes to kakariko windmill
Link learns song of storms from weirdo who said he learned it from you.
You go 7 years back and you teach this guys the song of storms which is the reason y you learned it from him.

Apparently there has been somekinda event called 'paradoxes' when things in space-time are screwed up and you can't seem to make out cause and effect. if he nevered taught you the song in the future, you would've never taught it to him in the past, but if you wouldn't have taught him in the past, you couldn't have learned it in the future. pretty messed-up innit ? i bet everyone has wondered about this.

another thing in majoras mask. for example on you put 500 rupees on the bank on the 2nd day, and play song of time and return to 1st day, you go to bank and you see: cool, 500 rupees which you gave to the banker on the 2nd day so he can't have that money on the 1st day at all.

too bad this happened

It's like in ooa when you're the reason that Gorons have bomb flowers in the past, but you got then in the first place in the future because they mass produced it.

Since Link from OoT and MM is the "Hero of Time" it's not that hard to believe that he can manipulate it to a certain extent.

It's kind of wierd how the guy in the windmill (guru guru) says you taught him that song, yet he's playing it before you teach him.
The biggest paradox in oot would have to be, if he defeated ganon then went back in time and went to termina, how does he defeat ganon? Though I think most everyone knows that one.

This isn't a paradox - The banker writes it on Link's head who he is and how much he has deposited. The writing stays there when Link goes back in time, so he simply trusts his own records and believes that Link has already deposited the money.

No, because Ganon is sealed in the Sacred Realm, time has no meaning within the realm so he is trapped in a state of "non-time" so to speak. His existence previous to his sealing is completely wiped from time. I don't think any of these are really paradoxes at all.
