why was the power of the three elf rings diminished?

I have a few questions about the power of the elven rings:
1. With the destruction of the one-ring, the three rings of power of the elves are diminished. Why is that?
2. How could Sauron link the power of his ring to the power of the three elven rings, given that he did not help forging them?
3. Was their power just diminished or was it completely cancelled?
4. Is the end of the power of the elven rings the only reason for the elves leaving Middle-Earth or is that more than that?
