Only realism can be deceptive.
Only a real battle won't reveal any flaws.
Because there are no flaws.
If preparations are made in advance, it becomes a play.
Which is easily exposed.
However, even if Link hadn't fled into the Fairy World through the "Small World" in time, he wouldn't have been in real danger.

The mechanism of the Star-annihilating Cannon alone left enough room for Link to escape.
A Star-annihilating Cannon could only fire three consecutive shots, then it had to recharge its energy.
It was entirely reasonable for Zoran Archie, due to the sudden incident, to only use one Star-annihilating Cannon.
It wouldn't arouse suspicion from anyone or any force.
The interval between the third and fourth Star-annihilating Cannonfire was about 1 to 2 seconds.
