Line 7:
Believed to have been an influence on ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', which was released the following year.
{{tropelist|page=Legend}}
* [[All Just a Dream]]: At least, Lily ''thinks'' so when she wakes up at the end of the [[Directors Cut]], and Jack doesn't confirm or deny it. She doesn't get to see Jack waving goodbye to the elves and unicorns after she's left. The theatrical edition changes the ending completely, and she sees them together with Jack.
* [[As Long as There Is Evil]]: "Big D" tries to invoke this, presumably to convince Jack not to kill him.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Dancing Pants]]: The dark dress.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: David Bennent was about 18 when he played the boy-elf Gump.
* [[Distracted by the Luxury]]: Whilst running around Darkness's lair in a complete panic, Lily is briefly lulled into calm by the sight of a giant diamond necklace.
* [[
* [[Engagement Challenge]]
* [[Evil Costume Switch]] / [[Evil Makeover]]: Lily in the Bride of Darkness outfit, black lipstick and stylized tear stains included.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: The big red devil himself.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Both Darkness and Meg Mucklebones.
Line 40 ⟶ 38:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Lily. And yes, they are hidden pretty deep.
* [[Hollywood Torches]]: Both the goblins and Jack have one at some point.
* [[Horn Attack]]: Subverted when Darkness charges Jack with his horns foremost as though he's planning on piercing him with them, but ends up with the horns touching a wall with Jack trapped between them.
* [[Horned Humanoid]]: Guess who.
* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]
* [[I'm Not Hungry]]
* [[Large Ham]]:
** Large Deviled Ham: the Lord of Darkness.
** Small Elven-Ham: Gump. "Do you think you can upset the order of the universe, ''and not pay the PRICE?!?''
Line 55 ⟶ 53:
* [[Mook Face Turn]]: Blunder ({{spoiler|who was a disguised elf all along, anyway}})
* [[Must Make Amends]]: Lily touches one of the unicorns, making it vulnerable to attack and leading to its death. She tracks down the other unicorn and finds Brown Tom guarding it.

'''Lily:''' I'm -- I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Please, please forgive me.
'''Brown Tom:''' I'm not the one you should be askin'.
'''Lily:''' Try and understand. I'm only trying to make things right. Darkness has sent the goblins back for the mare. It's not safe to stay here. You'll have to hurry! Leave now! Go! }}
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: When Lily realizes her actions have caused a unicorn to die. {{spoiler|It gets better.}}
Line 66 ⟶ 64:
* [[Princess Classic]]
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Blix, Blunder and Pox.
* [[
* [[Redubbing]]: In English, the voice of Gump was done by the same actress who played Blix; in German, he voiced both.
** In fact, all of the forest scenes had to be dubbed over in post-production because the noise on the set was so loud, according to Mia Sara on the Ultimate Edition DVD.
Line 77 ⟶ 75:
* [[The Time of Myths]]
* [[True Love's Kiss]]: Jack does this to wake Lily.
* [[Ultimate Evil]]: The disembodied voice that helps Darkness seduce Lily, presumably the being he calls [[Bigger Bad|Father.]]
* [[Unicorn]]
* [[Virginity Makes You Stupid]]
Line 83 ⟶ 81:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Scott's film originally ran much longer and had a number of scenes deleted from it, at least two of which were not included in the director's cut.
** The first involved an alternate opening sequence wherein the goblins encounter the unicorns, represented as light beams, and report back to Darkness. For the most part, this sequence is uninteresting but for two elements: one, features ''four'' goblins (the fourth, Tic, comes to a [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|bad end]]), and two, it explains why Blunder has a chicken foot for a left hand (Darkness changed it when Blunder spoke out of turn).
** The second is an extended version of the scene by Jack's fire wherein Gump is even ''less'' forgiving of Jack than in the director's cut, using his violin to magically force Jack to dance before making him answer the riddle. This explains Jack's sudden sweatiness and seeming exhaustion between shots in the finished version, and why Gump refers to him as "riddle-solver, dancing fool and faerie-friend". On the Blu-Ray the scene is represented by stills and storyboards over the surviving soundtrack. A couple of behind the scenes shots are also seen in the accompanying
** There are also elements from the original script which Scott never even attempted, such as Lily's encounter with a "house brownie" (like the ones in ''[[Willow]]''), Lily transforming into a humanoid cat creature, Darkness growing huge bat wings during his battle with Jack, and a final revelation that Jack is actually immortal.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]
