Line 15:
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Used on {{spoiler|Linebeck in the end of the game}}.
* [[Earn Your Fun]]: The shooting gallery, Maze Island, and the "training" with the captain of the Prince of Red Lions.
* [[Eleventh
** The {{spoiler|Phantom Sword}}, which sure would have come in handy a lot sooner than you're able to get it.
** Then there's {{spoiler|Ciela's ability to create Time Spheres, which give Link the ability to freeze time}}.
Line 33:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: The second Sea Chart. Who would have known that you're supposed to {{spoiler|''close the DS'' to put the marking on it?}}
* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: When Linebeck refuses to enter the Ghost Ship Ciela refers to him as a "cucco." Cuccos are [[Call a Rabbit A Smeerp|chickens]] in all but name and ferocity.
* [[Hundred
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Zauz the blacksmith bears an extraordinary resemblance to Ganondorf.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: The adolescent Link and the adult Linebeck. Eventually.
Line 53:
{{quote| '''Youngest Cubus Sister''': Fallen! Fallen! They are the fallen! Excuse me. I don't know what came over me. }}
* [[One-Time Dungeon]]: The fourth dungeon -- and '''only''' the fourth dungeon is an example, but averts one instance of [[Lost Forever]] because [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|The Dev Team Thought Of Everything]].
* [[Or Was It a Dream?]]: While Link and Tetra are first led to believe it was [[All Just a Dream]], {{spoiler|Link finds the Phantom Hourglass on him and sees Linebeck sailing away in the distance}}. Doubles as a [[Shout
* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]: A girl just pretends to be one for fun. A big hint is her wearing an inner-tube as she swims around.
* [[Out of Focus]]: Tetra compared to ''The Wind Waker'', with Linebeck getting the limelight instead.
Line 63:
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Played straight ''and'' subverted with the [[Obviously Evil]] Cubus Sisters on the Ghost Ship. Played straight when one of them {{spoiler|tries to lure you into opening a booby-trapped treasure chest}}; subverted when another {{spoiler|warns you not to shoot the Reapling guards in the back lest you piss them off - it turns out that it's the only way of stunning them, making it ''much'' easier to slip past}}.
* [[Sealed Good in A Can]]: The Ocean King.
* [[Shout
** The game is [[Book Ends|bookended]] with ''[[The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' references: it begins with Link on a ship caught in a storm and ending up washed ashore on an island, and ends with {{spoiler|Link meeting a whale-like creature who returns him to his own world where his adventures seemed to be [[All Just a Dream]]}}.
** There seem to be at least a few thematic shout-outs to ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', as well, such as Link freeing trapped guardian spirits (the Ocean King and his helpers/the Four Giants), an emphasis on time limits (the Hourglass/the three-day cycle), a bad guy with tentacles and big, yellow eyes who seems more like a destructive force of nature than a thinking, plotting villain (Bellum/Majora), a yellow fairy companion with a bit of an attitude (Ciela/Tatl)...
** The eyes on the boss "doors" and keys reminds one strikingly of [[The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap|Vaati's eye motif]].
** Gleeok is a double [[Shout
** The way to defeat a Pols Voice in this game - by shouting into the microphone and then slashing it with the sword - was originally how one was supposed to defeat it in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Video Game)|original game]], but it was taken out when the game was imported to America (since the NES didn't have a microphone).
** Nyave tells Link, as a joke, that the kaleidoscope he found (belonging to someone from the Ho-Ho Tribe) belonged to his sister (as if he had one anyway). This is a reference to Aryll giving Link a telescope in ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Wind Waker]]''.
** Out-of-series example: During one of Jolene's later ambushes, she reveals that she knows that Linebeck is hiding in the wooden box. When she calls out to him, [[Metal Gear Solid|the only thing you see come from the box is an exclamation point.]]
* [[Slippy
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Pirate Girl Jolene. When Linebeck {{spoiler|left and robbed her}} she didn't take it lightly.
* [[Stealth Based Mission]]: The Temple of the Ocean King.
Line 87:
** Link can attack cuccos with any of his weapons, however, [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|overdoing this will cause a flock of angry cuccos to attack him]].
* [[Warp Whistle]]/[[Warp Zone]]: A variation -- writing symbols on a blank slate [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|summons golden frogs who use cyclones to transport the ship to various parts of the ocean]].
** Doubles as a [[Shout
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:
