Line 7:
** Probably something like Byrne's: Get power from the demon/get the princess out of the way so he can take over Hyrule and rule it.
* How exactly was the Chancellor able to boss around both the guards and Princess Zelda? Isn't she the ruler? In one early level, you have to sneak her out from her own castle because he has her guards keeping her inside. How? They're pretty clearly not hypnotized, so shouldn't her authority overrule his?
** Notice how she's the "princess" rather than "queen" despite the fact that her parents aren't even hinted at? That's not just for [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses|tradition]]. It means she's not been officially crowned yet, therefore she doesn't have her full authority. Until Zelda comes of age, she's basically regulated to ceremonial duties. Cole, as Chancellor and royal adviser, is the guy with all the practical power for the moment, which is why she couldn't directly act against him.
*** That's odd. Considering at the end she does the "paperwork"...
*** 1) Paperwork does not equate to actual authority to remove trusted officials. 2) This is ''after'' Cole is removed from power (and life). 3) She has Teacher alongside her.
Line 35:
*** They all seem to be in agreement of Link's ''absolute dedication'' to the train signals, though.
* Who ran Hyrule when the only three people known to do anything adminstrative went AWOL?
** The same guys who ran it in the Child-age of [[Ocarina of Time]] after Ganondorf burned the castle down. Really, this is Hyrule, land of incompetent guards and pocket-civilizations, where the ruling monarch is either called King or [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses|Princess]] you exspect it's administration to make sense?
* Exactly who thought that installing Phantoms was a good idea? Given that WW Link was the only person in New Hyrule to ever deal with them and how much they did to him, I sincerely doubt that he would readily recommend them.
** Weren't they there before any of the descendants of the people from old Hyrule came?
Line 65:
** At least you didn't play the game in Italian, where Byrne/Staven's name is Tristalpin. No, that doesn't even remotely mean anything in the aforementioned language, sounding more like French instead. [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|Maybe the translators tried to make it sound sexy?]] The names of the other Lokomos are as lame puns, if not more, as the American version.
** Apparently a stave is a piece of wood used when building railway tracks. It's either that, or his name is actually meant to be Steven. Which seems unlikely.
* Does New Hyrule have the pickiest train passengers in history or do they simply not recognize that it's sort of difficult to follow all traffic signals while ''under tank attack''? [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|Where's Link's respect]]?
** It gets even worse when you realize that Link is the only engineer brave enough to still use the tracks and therefore could charge his passengers a ton of money if he wanted to. They should be grateful about the fact that they are getting rides ''FOR FREE''.
*** By that logic, Teacher has the right to bitch at you, at the very least. He pays you 300 rupees per trip, and takes like six of them over the course of the game.
Line 71:
*** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Oh geez, I wish that button was in.]]
* Isn't there a problem inherent in the idea of gathering a large number of rabbits in one place, and then rewarding the person who brought them based on the quantity present? I mean, they're ''[[Explosive Breeder|rabbits]]''. "You've collected 21 out of 10 grass rabbits... wait a minute..."
** [[One -Gender Race|Maybe they are Gerudo-rabbits?]]
*** In that case, will they forcibly claim the snow rabbits?
** Incidentally, how can rabbits jump around on the surface of water?
Line 129:
* How the heck is Niko comfortable with having a ''clone'' of his old swabby living in his house?! Shouldn't he like, have been really freaked out when the boy turned 10 or so and it slowly became obvious that he'd turn out to look exactly like TWW Link one day? His reaction should ''not'' be limited to handling him TWW Link's shield and some old scroll he wrote, darn!!
** Well, he did seem to be weirdly accepting of weird things in the previous games. Things like Link having a telepathic rock or his captain secretly being a princess pretty much gets a "Wow, ''cool''!" from him.
* Is Teacher actually his name, or his [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|title]]?
* The <s>hookshot</s> whip target bars on those birds. Who put them there? Why? And how come the birds don't get freaked out by a ten year-old flinging a whip with a snake head at their throats?
* The Gorram Pirate ships. Seriously, how the ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|funk]]'' do they go ''through'' the train tracks? I mean, seriously, wtf?
