Line 583:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: When Ganondorf {{spoiler|murders Sonia}}, [[Casting Gag|Rauru's ready to pull a]] [[Fire Emblem: Three Houses|Dimitri]] and fly into a murderous rage. Zelda, however, talks him down out of hope that he can save {{spoiler|Sonia}}.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Idle and complacent, Hyrule's rulers are not. Zelda took an active role in restoring Hyrule to its former glory before the Upheaval happened, and Sidon and Riju respectively are doing what they can to combat the problems plaguing their regions before helping Link take down the monsters that are ultimately responsible. In the distant past Rauru was also willing to take to the battlefield himself in order to stop Ganondorf's horde of rampaging Molduga from flattening Hyrule.
== S ==
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: One particular sidequest gives us a [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]] version: {{spoiler|remember the "seven" heroines from the previous game, and how there was an eighth heroine? Well it turns out that the "heroine" was a man whose gender was subject to some serious historical revisionism. Despite leading the seven heroines into battle against a monster that threatened the ancient Gerudo, [[Ungrateful Bastard|they turned him away due to their strict laws banning men from Gerudo Town.]]}}
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: Turns out Ganondorf was sealed far beneath Hyrule Castle years ago. Who would've thought?
* [[Sealed Evil in a Duel]]: To elaborate on the above, the "can" was actually {{spoiler|a duel between himself and Rauru that technically ended as a loss for Rauru, but managed to keep Ganondorf trapped in stasis for over ten thousand years in preparation for Link's arrival far into the future.}}
* [[Secret Shop]]: The secret shop in Gerudo Town that sells male clothing returns, but there are two others as well. {{spoiler|The Bargainer Statues hidden in The Depths will exchange certain weapons and outfits for Poes}}, and giving Koltin Bubbul gems will allow you to buy special outfits and monster parts from his own shop.
* [[The Sociopath]]: Ganondorf, as usual. He's violent, sadistic, power-hungry, and a total egomaniac who cares for no one but himself.
* [[Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome]]: Yunobo seems to be a victim of this once you arrive in Goron City, and see that he's inexplicably become a rude, sneering drug kingpin dressed like an evil luchador. {{spoiler|He's still the same [[Nice Guy]] that he always was, just [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] thanks to Phantom Ganon's machinations}}.
== T ==
* [[A Taste of Power]]: You start the game with maxed-out stats and the full-powered Master Sword. [[Bag of Spilling|And then along came Ganondorf and his Malice...]]
* [[Tennis Boss]]: {{spoiler|Not present with Phantom Ganon, surprisingly, but Ganondorf's Malice blasts can be launched back at him during the final battle.}}
* [[Theme Song Reveal]]: The new version of Zelda's Lullaby heard not just in the title theme, but in trailers several years before the game's release hint {{spoiler|at [[The Reveal]] that Zelda's been turned into a dragon thanks to it being played with the same instrumentation as the Spirit Dragons' theme.}}
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Tulin, Yunobo, and Riju were non-combatants in ''Breath of the Wild'' (though the latter two ''did'' help Link board the Divine Beasts in their regions) and unlike Sidon, didn't have anything hinting at off-screen combat prowess. Here they take to the battlefield and actively help Link fight monsters.
== U ==
* [[Underground Monkey]]: Like in the previous game, several enemies have elemental variants encountered in certain regions. And if you want to get cheeky about it, the newly introduced Horriblins are literal examples of this trope given that they're monkey-like Blins mostly encountered in caves.
