Line 3:
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: The Dogu that you meet the first time in the past just before fighting Orochi, could qualify. They are very resilient, have some fast and varied attacks, and can do quite a bit of damage when you're not used to them. Of course they are even worse in the Ten Demonic Gates sidequest.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Pretty much all the boss monsters, but especially {{spoiler|Ninetails and Yami.}}
** {{spoiler|Akuro from ''[[
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Amaterasu/[[Twilight Princess|Wolf Link]] is a surprisingly common pairing on deviantART and ff.net.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Most of the soundtrack. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yKG-Qu4WvM Shinshuu Plains]" is particularly notable, as are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09FEJXihD9I Kamiki Festival]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9Rs3q2hApU&fmt=18 Ryoshima Coast]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkLC0kX8FSI Shachimaru/Orca's Theme]".
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RmldFiyvvo&fmt=18 Reset ~ Thank You Version]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3yxTbkh5s The Sun Rises]" deserve special mention, since they play during the game's greatest [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], respectively.
*** "The Sun Rises" is also the theme of Yami in ''[[
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlA8tvScZ6M Demon Lord Ninetail's Extermination]" One of the most exciting boss theme's for the most action packed boss battle of the game
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5lYkbWdiSY Kushi's Ride]" is comparable to ''[[The Legend of Zelda|Twilight Princess's]]'' "Midna's Lament". Both songs are played during urgent events, but while the latter is a melancholy solo piano arrangement of a character's theme, the other is more orchestrated and bass heavy.
Line 50:
** Those goddamned giant spiders that literally go down on you without a warning.
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: Arguably {{spoiler|Yami, God of Darkness AKA Fish fetus inside a mecha-orb.}}
** [[
* [[Player Punch]]: {{spoiler|(Go on, visit the secret passage behind the Ryoshima Coast's Ankoku Shrine after finding out the truth about Rao's fate}}).
** {{spoiler|Seeing your past self on its last legs, fighting along side you to protect a future and using the last of its energy, is a fairly big [[Tear Jerker]] as well.}}
* [[Porting Disaster]]: Averted with the Wii port, though a couple things were lost in transition (as Clover Studios no longer existed at the time).
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Considering all the awesome powers {{spoiler|your past self Shiranui}} demonstrated, you'd think that you'd also get to use them when your {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Eleventh Hour Superpowers]] activate during the final phase of the final boss}}, but nope, all you get is a fancy glow.
* [[Sidetracked
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: The game is approximately as subtle as a shotgun in the way it presents its lessons, but they're lessons that need learning. Two of the biggest ones are that people shouldn't be selfish with their prayers, and they also shouldn't rely on the gods to fix everything for them. You can usually count on Issun to deliver one of these.
* [[Sugar Bowl]]: Once you erase major threats, Nippon is a near utopia where everyone is nice, life is slow, simple and peaceful, kings are generous and benevolent, landscapes are heavenly and preserved, war and misery do not exist, and the most dangerous people you will meet are [[Bratty Half-Pint|Bratty Half Pints]], [[Jerk
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Kaguya {{spoiler|going back to her true home}}.
** The Gale Shrine ghost {{spoiler|who mentions that he is Fuse's husband before departing}}. Queen Himiko {{spoiler|'s death}}. Shiranui {{spoiler|dying in front of Amaterasu}}. Amaterasu {{spoiler|going home}}.
Line 72:
*** Hell, every sidequest that involves pushing a ball. That kid in Uepekere never seems to find the snowball big enough…
** Trying to draw the shapes for Mr. Chic. You spend literally dozens of tries getting it to accept the right shape, but then it accepts something that looks just like the others. Aaaaaaaaaaugh.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Any time you revive a Guardian Sapling, it releases a flurry of foliage, and everything [[The Corruption]] has tainted springs alive again, capping it off with a [[Scenery Porn|wide shot of the purified area]]. It's quite a sight to behold, be it on [[
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]/[[Metroidvania]]: With the inconceivable number of sidequests and secret items, the enormous size of the map and the freedom of movement, the only thing that stands between the game and a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] is the fact that the main plot is just as huge and that you have to unlock access to most areas with power-ups first. But it's quite too big to be a mere [[Metroidvania]]. So it would be somewhere between these two…
* [[The Woobie]]: Waka, once you learn his backstory.
