Why can't I save my game after I beat Ganon in Twilight Princess?

Question

See, I fought him in all four stages, and in the last one I saved my game to make sure. After I beat him, the credits staring rolling, and I stayed and watched all of the credits and there was no time in the credits or after where I could save. So I thought the game had just automatically saved for me. But when I went back on the game a few hours later, I was right back at the castle to fight Ganon and I still had Midna. Any idea of where to save or why this might have happened?

Answer

Not every game lets you save after the final boss or has a "New Game+" mode. Twilight Princess is one of these.

After you beat Ganon, there's nothing else - you're done. You've beaten the game. Nothing comes after, so there's no reason you need to save after.

If you want to go back and collect heart containers (or whatever else), you'll have to manually trudge out of Ganon's castle to get them.

Zelda may have been one of the first to use the concept of a NewGame+ (With the original LoZ's 2nd Quest), but not every game has them. Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, for instance, don't. Windwaker and Skyward Sword, do. It just varies by game.
