[Zelda-BOTW] Why does everyone Link meets and interacts with act and talk as if the Great Calamity took place about three weeks ago and not in fact one hundred years?

Because The Great Calamity didn't happen a hundred years ago; It *started* then, and it's been going on ever since. Talking about the ongoing effects of the calamity is like talking about the weather. 

In addition to that, Link tends to inspire confidence in people. People tell him about their fears and what's troubling them. It's just part of who he is.
