The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Difference between revisions

** Once again, this trope ends up being how {{spoiler|Kohga is dealt with at the end of his sidequest chain. His sloppy handling of a whole bunch of Zonai Rockets leads to him [[Pokémon|blasting off again]]. While it's unlikely that he's dead considering that he survived a far more definitive-looking "death", it's still enough to put him out of commission for the rest of the game.}}

** When a Gleeox is reduced to about 25% of its health, it flies ''way'' up high where Link can't reach it, and then unleashes a devestating super attack; Flame Gleeox use giant fireballs, Frost Gleeox drop giant iciciles, Lightning Gleeox conjure up a thunderstorn to call lighting down on Link, and King Gleeox can do any of the three. But each time, this potent attack is the key to bringing it down. Both the fireballs and thunderstorm set the ground on fire, enabling Link to use his glider to ride the backdraft upward, while he can use Recall on the icicles to ride them upward,and in each case, let him have it with an arrow rush.

* [[Holding Out for a Hero]]: For the first time in the franchise, this Trope is Defied. Link is still the prophesied hero whose goal is to bring peace to Hyrule, but the Hyrulians aren’t just cowering in fear ''this'' time. Finishing a temple grants Link an ally that creates a magical clone of the Sage to fight alongside him, and a volunteer squad of civilians (the Monster Control Crew) is scouring the countryside rooting out Ganondorf’s dark minions. Link crosses paths with this Ragtag Group of Misfits many times, and each subsequent time shows more improvement in their skills with their makeshift weapons and armor gradually replaced by real gear, showing that they’re continuing their work offscreen. This is one time Link can be assured [[You Are Not Alone|He Is Not Alone]].

* [[Hospitality for Heroes]]: Several examples:

** Once Link drives the pirates out of Lurelin Village and then helps rebuild it, there are plenty of benefits provided by the grateful town folk. First of all there are some weapons and food that can be picked up everyday. Also, Link can get a free random meal at the restaurant once per day (also good for cataloging recipes, and you can get it to go), get a free room at the inn once per day (but if you want to use the special spa treatment, you must give The innkeeper five rock salts), and use the casino free once per day to get a random monster part that can be fused with weapons. He will let you do it twice if you give him a cooked Porgy. In addition, if you recover the fish monger’s boat, he will have some merchandise to give Link for free every day.

** After you rescue Chumin from Malpa Point Cave, he'll open up a shop near the Research Lab. While he can't give Link anything for free, he does sell some things that cannot be bought elsewhere, like Razorclaw Crabs.

** After you save the Great Deku Tree from the Gloom infestation, the Korak inkeeper will let you use the beds for free. The market also opens, and while you still have to pay there, the merchandise includes rare mushrooms that cannot be purchased at other stores.

* [[Horned Humanoid]]: This seems to have been a racial trait for the Zonai, given the presence of horns on Rauru's head. There's also {{spoiler|Ganondorf, who grows a little pair of devil horns after becoming the Demon King.}}

* [[Hot Scientist]]: Purah. Thanks to fine-tuning her anti-aging rune, she's physically around the same age as she was in ''Age of Calamity'' and looks ''stunning'' as a result.
