Legend of Zelda the Abridged Series: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Each Kokiri has his or her own guardian fairy. However, there is one boy who does not have a fairy ... because he's a sick little weirdo."''|'''Deku Tree''' - Adamwestlapdog's Ocarina of Time Abridged}}

'''Navi:''' Something about muffins!|Xanauzumaki's Ocarina of Time Abridged}}

* [[All Women Love Shoes]]: Navi has some despite having no feet at all.

* [[Already Met Everyone]]:

'''Princess Ruto''': ''"Yeah, probably."'' }}

* [[Already Undone for You]]: Lampshaded in the Fire Temple and averted in the Forest Temple.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: [[Fan Boy|Uncle Fanboy]], after a second filler episode in a row was released.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Never call Tatl "Navi". Like Navi, she doesn't have any patience with morons like Link. Link, of course, refuses to learn that his new partner's name is Tatl.

** Uncle Fanboy can't stand filler episodes.

* [[Big No]]: At the end of the opening dream sequence.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Opening dream sequence and episode 6 (twice).

* [[Brain Bleach]]: Episode 5 after looking into AdamWestsLapdog's room.

* [[Brick Joke]]: In the last episode of OoT, Ganondorf {{spoiler|recognises the room he's been banished to as the room seen in episode five}}.

** Single-episode variant in episode 2 of [[Majoras Mask]]. Link spends a few minutes near the beginning obsessing over the dead tree in the tunnel (you know the one), and how it "looks so sad". Tatl finally snaps him out of it, and they proceed through the first three-day cycle. They eventually get to the clock tower, where [[Card-Carrying Villain|Skull Kid]] prompts them to look up, and the episode ends with:

* [[Blatant Lies]]:

* [[Call Back]]: In episode 8.

'''Link''': Oh, sorry, I got confused for a while and thought this was episode one. }}

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Every single action in the Ganondorf vs. Link fight.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Navi, and especially Tatl. Link's idiocy is just snark fodder.

* [[Death by Irony]]: Parodied with Volvagia.

* [[Difficulty Spike]]: According to Link, mastering [[Guitar Hero]] on medium is impossible unless you have a tarantula trained to press the buttons.

* [[Double Entendre]]: Episode two

'''Navi''': Don't you think you could have worded that a little bit better? }}

* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Darunia

* [[Fan Boy|Fanboys]]: They get mentioned some times.

* [[Filler]]: There are some filler episodes and they are lampshaded:

** Whilst on his search for the Sage of the Farm.

* [[Flashback Echo]]: Lampshaded

* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: Navi states the reason link can't be dead is because when he dies, he'll "end up in a place with a lot more fire and brimstone." [[Completely Missing the Point|Link wonders why he'd end up in a fire and brimstone factory.]]

* [[Going Commando]]: Purely a comfort thing for Link.

* [[Global Warming]]: Parodied in the intro of episode 10 of Majora's Mask.

* [[Hammerspace]]: Lampshaded when Link asks where he's been keeping all his coins.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: For starters Link thought the Deku Tree just had a funny last name instead of an actual tree.

** {{spoiler|But instead he turns out to be the link from the [[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|animated show]].}}

** Upon getting the hook shot and mistaking it for a mini-rocket launcher:

'''Link''': Oh please, who would ever want to shoot a hook? }}

* [[Locked Door]]: Who needs keys when you have a giant hammer?

** Also the sacred stones, which Zelda wants for no reason other than they look pretty.

* [[Minor Flaw, Major Breakup]]: Link almost stayed with Saria before his adventure even began but run away after Saria asked if he would want to watch [[Whoopi Goldberg]] movies with him.

** He also assumes Nabooru has man hands as soon as he picks up the Silver Gauntlets.

* [[Music for Courage]]: Played with, since it's Ganondorf who played the uplifting music after Zelda complained that he was playing dark music for twenty minutes.

* [[Poke the Poodle]]: Pre-time skip Ganondorf runs on this, his most evil crime being stealing a glow-in-the-dark baseball.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Subverted twice, both by Link.

'''Link''': Son of a biscuit. }}

* [[Public Service Announcement]]: Parodied, King Zora warns us that we shouldn't eat adventurers because being a [[Womb Level]] could be unhealthy. Paraphrased a well known ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Sez]]'' clip.

* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]:

*  [[Punny Name]]: In the original. Tatl the fairy has a brother named Tael. If you put them together you get {{spoiler|Tael Tatl}}.

* [[Rule of Three]]: See [[Flashback Echo]] above.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Aside from the actual occasions of this in the original games, a lot of things from our modern world has found their way into the [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]].

* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: Link is stupid but he does have his smart moments. He openly ignores anything Zelda says that implies she isn't his girlfriend.

'''Link''': Aw, you're so sweet. Did you hear that, Navi? She's giving us a room. }}

* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Lots, mainly his editing, voiceacting, and catchphrases.

* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Zelda.

* [[Squick]]: In-universe, on various occasions.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Episode 2

'''Deku Tree''': Yeah... And if I did - which I don't - it probably wouldn't have multiple floors and basements... also other monsters. }}

* [[Take That]]: [[Abridged Series Tropes|As usual]] with this type of series. Some "victims" include [[Whoopi Goldberg]], Cliff Richard, [[Halo]] 3 and [[Richard Nixon]].

* [[This Loser Is You]]: Uncle Fanboy

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: A number of character, but Link is the biggest example.

** When Link breaks into Hyrule castle the guards mistake him for a walking, talking hedge.

* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Our hero's full name is [[Linkin Park|Link Inpark]].

** There's a mailbox inside Lord Jabu Jabu. It's lampshaded by Link.

* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: Zelda, taken to extremes.

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: According to Rauru, it's the gayest superpower ever.

* [[Who's Laughing Now?]]: People called Dande mad for digging up graves for an underground race course but then Link visits him. Subverted since Navi immediately points out that it's still completely insane.

* [[You Have to Burn the Web]]: Unfortunately, the Deku Tree (and the rest of the Kokiri Forest) also happened to be flammable. 

* [[You Shall Not Pass]]:

----

=== ''[http://www.youtube.com/user/xanauzumaki xanauzumaki]'''s version includes examples of the following tropes: ===

* [[Compensating for Something]]: Ganondorf has a really tiny penis, doesn't he?

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: After the Zora King takes a LONG time to move out of the way.

'''Shad:''' After cleverly censoring the word "bitch" with this scene transition... }}

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Mayor Bo. AND HOW.

* [[Expy]]: Rauru is basically Mayor Bo 2.0.

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: This...

'''Happy Mask Salesman:''' [[Mind Rape|Mentally]].<br />

'''Link:''' Oh...Well i guess<br />

*** Navi, you were supposed to say it before I said her name.

* [[Patchwork Map]]: Lampshaded in episode 11 of ''Twilight Princess Abridged''.

'''Auru:''' Look, kid... there's a lot of things wrong with this game besides the geography.  }}

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Which could explain why the opening conversation in episode 13 of ''Twilight Princess Abridged'' revolves around nothing but wisdom teeth.

** Also, Link from ''Ocarina of Time Abridged'' gives one to Navi.

* [[Reality Warper]]: The Happy Mask Salesman

* [[Remembered I Could Fly]]: To get from the Hyrule Castle dungeon to Princess Zelda's room, Midna suggests navigating through the sewers and traversing the rooftops, and Link actually does all this... only for Midna to remember at the last minute that she could have teleported him there and saved him all the trouble.

** There are also a few episodes of ''Ocarina of Time Abridged'' where Navi suddenly remembers that she could actually fly.

* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: In a deleted ''Twilight Princess Abridged'' scene, Telma is depicted as this.

* [[Shout-Out]]: The guy sitting on the magic carpet in the middle of the Haunted Wasteland selling Bombchus is implied to be the ancestor of Coro, the guy with the afro in Faron Woods who sells Link a Lantern and Lantern Oil in [[Twilight Princess]].

** A flashback in Episode 3 of ''Majora’s Mask Abridged'' has a [[Shout-Out]] to the Cabbage Salesman from [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]].

'''Cabbage Salesman:''' Nowhere I go is safe! NOWHERE! }}

* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: The Sages in ''Twilight Princess Abridged'', when they don't want to deal with Ganondorf, decide to make him this.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: Link from ''Twilight Princess Abridged''. ALL THE TIME.

* [[That Came Out Wrong]]

'''Majora's Mask:''' ...That didn't come out right. }}

* [[That's What She Said]]: What could very well be Darunia's [[Catch Phrase]].

* [[Throw It In]]: Several examples, though the biggest one is probably Midna mistakenly calling the Mirror Shards "Fused Shadows" in an episode. It eventually turned into a [[Running Gag]].

* [[Token White]]: {{spoiler|Xana.}}

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Navi.

** Also, Tael.

* [[Unsound Effect]]: Clang, clang.

** Poof.

* [[Voice of the Legion]]: '''HE SPOKE BLASPHEMY!'''

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: "You can't harm the invincible Majora! [...] Aaaagh! Bubbles! My one weakness!"

* [[A Wizard Did It]]: Fairies can't be killed by traditional means! Why? Magic!

** Link would normally not be able to survive a fall down a giant hole at the beginning of ''Majora's Mask Abridged'', but that flower broke his fall. What is that flower made of? Magic!

* [[Yandere]]: Saria. She made an ocarina out of ''{{spoiler|one of her ribs}}''.

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: When Link asks random game characters for the location of the Hidden Village, the Hero's Shade is excited, rejoicing that after thirteen episodes he'll finally have his time in the spotlight... but then Link decides to ask someone else instead.

** Dammit!

* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: Courtesy of the Deku Tree.

'''Deku Tree:''' Screweth you. }}

----

* [[Covert Pervert]]: Tetra.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: 

* [[Emo Teen]]: Prince Komali.

* [[Idiot Hero]] / [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Link. Every other character in the series has good reason to call him a dumbass.
