Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Ganondorf: Irredeemable monster or [[Well
* [[Art Style Dissonance]]: Undoubtedly, the art style is [[Lighter and Softer]]. However, it's debatable if every other aspect of the game is this. For one, all of Hyrule was flooded, leaving few survivors and only the tallest mountains as islands. Two, {{spoiler|Link's grandmother has a nervous breakdown after he leaves}}. Three, {{spoiler|Link ''stabs Ganondorf in the head!''}}.
* [[Breather Boss]]: Gohdan, the guardian of the Tower of the Gods. For a mid-game boss he's very easy to begin with, only having one real attack that you get plenty of warning of in advance and is fairly easy to avoid. Plus, he'll even snort out extra arrows and bombs from his nostrils if you run out of them during the fight.
Line 10:
* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The quest for the Triforce shards. Specially if you are already bored of [[Padding|sailing]].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: The stick Makar uses to play his leaf cello conveniently has two berries dangling from it, and not at the end.
* [[Hate Dumb]]: The lead-up to this game's release brought out the very worst in the fandom. Infamously, one letter published in the ''Player's Pulse'' section of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' had a list of reasons as to why the game would be terrible, chief among them that it was "a baby easy kiddy game". Most of all because of [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|the new Link's character design]]. This was of course published a '''year''' [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|before the game's release.]] This attitude was parodied in the fan-comic "Hyrularity" in an issue where Link has to fight the annoying [[Take That|"Boys of Phan."]]
* [[It Was His Sled]]: {{spoiler|Tetra is Princess Zelda}}.
** {{spoiler|Hyrule was destroyed by a [[Great Flood]] prior to the events of the game.}}
Line 24:
* [[Motive Decay]]: Nothing of what originally motivated Ganondorf is really at play anymore, but he still won't give up on ruling Hyrule, even though it's ''flooded''. Though he does say he only ''supposes'' that's what originally motivated him.
* [[Tainted By the Preview]]: Following [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtAvX4Pkyk a 3D demo featuring a realistic Link], cue an announcement of... a cel-shaded ''Zelda''! The [[Fan Dumb]] entry above shows how bad the reaction was.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The biggest fan complaint about the game is that it was too much of a departure from ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''.
* [[Vindicated By History]]: Upon release, this game was instantly lost to the tides of [[Ocarina of Time]] nostalgia and complaints about the cel-shaded graphical style being N64 level. In recent years, popularity polls frequently place it among the top five favorite games in the franchise, and the art style has been hailed as a refreshing experience from other [[Real Is Brown|"brown"]] games like its successor ''[[Twilight Princess]]''.
* [[Wasted Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m5R91wxKks Maritime Battle] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we_LKoyU_Qo Jabuns Theme]. The first one is only heard during battles while sailing, and the second one is played once during a cutscene largely consisting of text, where the player might mash the A-button, as most of the text is in an ancient language and thus unreadable. Now, why is Maritime Battle in here? Simple, because of how combat on your boat works (quite frankly, not that good, as your only means of attack are bombs and arrows), the average player might just ignore the enemies, missing out on a pretty good tone which gets better after time.
