The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * I always wondered why Zelda's Lullaby is played Talk about hiding your Foreshadowing well!
 * Zelda's Lullaby is also.
 * This may be unintentional, but the third magic circle of Mars from the "Key of Solomon" looks somewhat like the Triforce. Its purpose is to cause discord that ensures the fall of one's enemy. When Ganondorf tried to take the Triforce, it split apart, and the separate pieces going to Link and Zelda is what led to his defeat.
 * Kasuto is the only town from Zelda II not to have a Sage named after it, it is also the only one that has been explicitly stated to be destroyed in the past, and had been rebuilt and hidden as New Kasuto.
 * Playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a child, I always found it badass how Sheik could just disappear in a flash of light. Not until later did it hit me that
 * It could also be considered a "Crowning Moment of Funny" if you think about it. While Link, the invinicible, ultimate hero, is paralyzed, Sheik could very easily just walk away nonchalantly, make a funny face at Link or something on her way out. - Shradow
 * When I first played Ocarina of Time, I noticed that Navi's description of the Beamos was very unhelpful. She says, more or less, "I bet it doesn't like smoke to get in its eye!" Beamos can only be killed by bombs. For the longest time, I just thought Navi's description was a really unclear way to say you needed to use bombs. Years later, I realized the description was probably intentionally bad and phrased that way as a Mythology Gag to the very first game's Dodongo Dislikes Smoke, which also refers to "smoke" when you're supposed to use bombs. -Epiblast
 * Many a player has got frustrated with Navi's apparently completely useless advice in the Great Deku Tree - "Yes, Navi, we know how to open a damn door!" Except that there aren't any buildings that have doors in Kokiri Forest... and if Link was left there as an infant, then he's never actually seen a door before, thus making Navi's advice... completely relevent and useful for him.
 * Fridge Horror: Or is it Fridge Squick? The Gerudo race is comprised solely of females, save a single male born every hundred years. This means that male Gerudo have minimal dating competition, but unless or even if female Gerudo can produce offspring with outsiders, those females are, more often than not, that "lucky" male's sisters.
 * The Gossip Stones outright say that the Gerudo go into towns to find "boyfriends," i.e., mates.
