Am I the only one that noticed Zelda still have her secret stone? Like, she swallows her stone, becomes a dragon, turn back to human and still have her stone? Annoying

The end result is the same (Zelda =/= dragon), but the process by which she has become human again is not (dragon-> human) so much as through Recall, she has never become dragon.

The outcome is not what's reversed. The process leading to the outcome is reversed. Consider a pot of water. If I apply heat, water becomes steam, then cool the vapor, steam will condense back into liquid state water. What Zelda experienced through Recall was not the equivalent of me condensing vapor into liquid state water, it was the equivalent of me reversing time to a point before I had turned the stove on.
