* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Bokoblins often laugh evilly after making an attack on Link (whether they hit him or not), which is often an opening for you to strike them back.
* [[Idiot Ball]]:
*
** The Hyrulian volunteer army is dedicated, loyal, and brave but as some quests show, not very bright:
*** In the “Gourmets Gone Missing” sidequest, you have to go out to look for missing travelers who are supposedly gourmet cooks; when you find their camp, all of them are sick. Seems Zelda had given them a recipe for Meat and Rice Bowl that seems simple (“Raw meat, Hylian Rice, and Rock Salt”) but for the Raw Meat part they used monster parts - as an NPC puts it, even children know enough never to do that.
*** In “For Our Princess!” a group of soldiers at the Hebra Stable claim they received a letter from Zelda, telling them “So prepare your mind and body and explore in your underpants.” They’re unwilling to question their beloved Princess, but aren’t doing a very good job and not willing to confront a cave full of monsters unarmed and without armor. Once Link shows them that it’s possible (a [[No Gear Level]], of course) [[Women Are Wiser| Leica comes by]], telling them that someone misinterpreted the letter; it actually said, “So prepare your mind and body and explore all other paths.”
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: The Evil Statue that was originally in Hateno Village (whom Link could use to swap his Heart Containers for Stamina Vessels and vice versa) has been further punished by the Goddess, buried in an abandoned shrine in Lookout Landing. It admits to Link that it should have learned its lesson, but refuses to, and still cannot resist making its infernal deals.
* [[Imposter Forgot One Detail]]: {{spoiler| There is a subtle hint that the “Zelda” Link is trailing might not truly be her, as the clothing she is wearing is different than what she was wearing when she disappeared, and is not anything she previously wore. She ''is'', however, wearing it in some of the memories, with Queen Sofia wearing the same style of dress - obviously, Sofia leant it to Zelda, and there is no memory where Ganondorf interacts with or even sees Zelda wearing anything other than that dress, so his version of Zelda is the one Ganondorf is familiar with, which is ''not'' familiar to anyone in modern Hyrule. Consequently, this detail is ''not'' missed by the Yiga Clan members who disguise as Zelda, as they have not seen Zelda wearing this style.}}
* [[Infinity-1 Sword]]: The equipment drops from Silver Bokoblins are the weakest of the silver monsters', but hey: their horns and Royal weapons still pack a tremendous punch.▼
* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: On the other hand, Silver Lynel drops are once again busted beyond belief. Their mace and saber horns give the weapons they're attached to a tremendous damage boost, and the bows they drop are often ''5-shot bows'', meaning that you can fire five arrows at once while it only counts as you using one.▼
* [[In the End You Are on Your Own]]: [[Zig-Zagged]] during the game's finale. If you've awakened all the Sages {{spoiler|you'll be horrified to see that they can't follow you into Ganondorf's lair deep beneath Hyrule Castle. However, they manage to get a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment where they come to your aid during the [[Multi-Mook Melee]] near the end of the daunting trek to Ganondorf's lair. While they end up staying behind to fight off the resurrected temple bosses, they catch up just in time to take the pressure off you when Ganondorf summons a few Phantom Ganons to help him out in the final battle.}}
* [[Infinity-1 Sword]]:
▲*
** Zonaite weapons with the “Mighty” quality are weather-proof (meaning they do not attract lightning and do not burn up in volcanic areas) and become stronger when Construct parts are fused to it.
** The Champion weapons from the previous game are available again after finishing the equivalent temples, and while it takes some searching to find the parts to forge them (or reforge them once they break) they are worth the effort, as they have very decent stats for their weapon types. The Lightscale Trident and Scimitar of the Seven are useful in that they retain the properties of the weapons they are forged from, meaning the former grants double attack power in the rain while the latter doubles the power of fused material.
▲* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: On the other hand, Silver Lynel drops are once again busted beyond belief. Their mace and saber horns give the weapons they're attached to a tremendous damage boost, and the bows they drop are often ''5-shot bows'', meaning that you can fire five arrows at once while it only counts as you using one.
* [[Inescapable Ambush]]: {{spoiler|Much like the previous game, talking to an NPC that is actually a Yiga in disguise will result in a battle no matter what Link’s reply is. Once you figure out that these disguised Yiga all have generic names, they become easier to avoid.}}
* [[Interface Spoiler]]:
** “Find Princess Zelda” is the most important Main Line quest, but {{spoiler|once Link learns that Zelda is the Light Dragon, the quest is not resolved nor updated, even after Link gains the Master Sword from her back. Nor is her Character Profile updated. This hints that Link’s task regarding her is not done and that the change might be possible to reverse.}}
** {{spoiler|Like in the previous game, the Yiga Clan uses disguise to get close to Link in order to ambush, which occurs if you talk to them. This time, however, in place of an NPC name, they are identified via genetic names like “Traveler” or “Researcher’. Once you figure that out, it’s easier to avoid them.}}
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Penn, a Rito reporter for the Lucky Clover Gazette (Hyrule’s best - and only - newspaper, who is investigating the “Potential Princess Sightings”, being the Quest Giver for that questline.
