* [[Action Girl]]: Farah.
* [[IAdventure Can'tNarrator Use These Things TogetherSyndrome]]: The Prince in ''The Sands of Time'' will occasionally gripe about Farah and her attitude, or reminisce about his love for her. This gets lampshaded twice, by the Prince himself, no less. "Why am I talking to myself?"

* [[Literally Shattered Lives]]: The game allows you to use one unit of sand to freeze a target for destruction with the Prince's normal sword.
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: ''Sands of Time'' sets it up as though the Prince is retelling his story to the player; hence, whenever the player dies, we hear the prince going, "No, wait, that wasn't how it happened, hold on..."
