Line 8:
* [[Catharsis Factor]]: The Foresaken Fortress is both a [[No-Gear Level]] and [[Stealth-Based Mission]] (as in, the universally despised type of dungeon that so many otherwise-excellent games need to have) because due to Tetra's horrendous aim, Link loses his weapon in an undignified entrance. It is both a frustrating and tedious dungeon that seems less like an infiltration into enemy territory and more like an exersize in patience, and being caught means starting over. Even worse, the whole thing is pointless storywise, as Link fails to rescue his sister this time around. Catharsis, however, comes later in your ''second'' trip there, where Link ''does'' have his gear and you can dole out well-earned revenge.
** Killing the Helmaroc King in particular is ''especially'' satisfying. Not only are you finally fighting the monster that kidnapped your sister, but you get to crush its skull with a ''hammer!''
* [[Common Knowledge]]: One of the major reasons why this game contributed to Ganondorf's [[Draco in Leather Pants]] status among certain circles of the fandom is the revelation that he was originally trying to give the Gerudo a better home, only to lose sight of his goal for one reason or another. However, Ganondorf never actually says at any point that he was fighting for the Gerudo: when he talks about the harshness and bleakness of life in the desert, [[It's All About Me|he's referring to how much ''he'' hated it and how much ''he'' coveted Hyrule's gentle life-giving winds.]] And this is backed up by his behavior in ''Ocarina of Time'', where the Gerudo were left to rot in the desert after he took over Hyrule, with some being forcibly turned into [[Slave Mooks|Iron Knuckles]] against their will and ''all'' of them celebrating his demise at the very end of the game.
* [[Contested Sequel]]: Given it's very different from the previous 3D Zelda games (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' in particular).
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[The Legend of Zelda/Awesome Music|See here]]. It is probably THE best ''Zelda'' soundtrack ever.
