* [[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.
* [[The Unsolved Mystery]]: While some mysteries are solved here, the solutions only create more mysteries:
** The identities of the three roaming dragons. Now that the fans know how draconification works, it is entirely possible - if not probable - that Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra were mortals who underwent the same process, but Mineru never even mentions them. Who were they and why did they transform themselves? Adding to the mystery, Link can find three Armor sets modeled after the three dragons, with no clues as to how they were made. Did this armor possibly belong to them before they transformed?
** The identity of the tribe that made the Barbarian Armor set. Both this game and the previous one say (in its description) that it was an “ancient warlike tribe who inhabited the faron region.” When the Zonai were introduced, most fans assumed this was them, however, the flashback scenes debunk this, as the Zonai inhabited Hyrule Field and their culture and technology is nothing like any that might have such armor.
** What happened to the Triforce? It did not actually appear in ''Breath of the Wild'', though there were some depictions of it here and there, with the insignia on the Master Sword. Even more of these images were seen in this game, with Sonia even having a tattoo of the insignia on her arm, but as yet, there is no sign of the actual Triforce in this continuity.
** In the quest line "Camera Work in the Depths", Robbie wants Link to photograph a large statue of a man holding his hand upright. Thing is, we are never told exactly who or what the statue is supposed to represent. While many other statues in the depths seem to depict the different races of Hyrule, whoever this is supposed to be remains unanswered.
** The identity of Rauru and Sonia's child. If Zelda is indeed their descendant and the current member of their royal line, they must have bore an heir but no offspring is ever mentioned in any of the flashbacks.
** The identity and fate of the Ancient Hero who first sealed Calamity Ganon in the first place. This hero was first mentioned in the previous game, pictured on a tapestry fighting the beast, but little was thought of it at the time; seeing as he wore the master sword, everyone assumed it was a past incarnation of Link. In this game however, Link can obtain his armor, the Ancient Hero aspect, and it makes clear that the Ancient Hero was a Zonai. While one could fathom that this may indeed be past aspect of Link (given how reincarnation tends to work) almost everything else about him, and whatever became of him, remains unknown.
** Whatever happened to Kass? Those who played ''Breath of the Wild'' probably remember this NPC, a helpful Rito musician whose song guides Link to uncovering certain shrines. But while he is mentioned a few times in this game, he is nowhere to be seen, and no clue as to where he has gone.
** And of course, {{spoiler| exactly what happened to Master Khoga after his ill-conceived and hastily constructed weapon launched him into the stratosphere. Much like last time, his body is never found and his fate is left ambiguous, but given his tenacity, it would be naive not to assume he survived.}}
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Link's bizarre and fantastic powers bestowed to him by Rauru don't attract any sort of reaction from people. The most you get are people being startled if you use Ascend to pop out of the ground right next to them, and even then it's only if you're within spitting distance: they wouldn't care otherwise.
