Line 28:
*** The ninth triforce piece appears {{spoiler|after Neil/Link beats Ganon and saves Zelda as the key to her chastity belt, which the other eight pieces inside Neil/Link then unlock.}}
**** Except that the Triforce from Ganon in the game is a different, whole one.
** Neil's Link outfit appears to be based on Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess, not the green and brown one from the first few titles.
** When Neil {{spoiler|gets a gameover and later tries to restart the game, he hits select instead of start.}}
* [[Drunken Montage]]: "Gettin' High in Hyrule"
Line 59:
* [[Or Was It a Dream?]]: {{spoiler|Season 2 finale}}
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]: Fairies have litters, apparently. And eat their young within the first day if not stopped.
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: For most, if not all of season's 1 and 2, Neil really doesn't care about the quest, and just wants to get home. Princess Zelda being hot is a bit of an incentive, however.
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: Neil attempts this. {{spoiler|It does not end well for him.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: The show has many, especially in the final episode.
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: Both Old Men.
{{quote|'''Old Man''': Grow a dick, Link.}}
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Invoked, Wizrobe is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to wander why he lured Neil to level 1, when he could have lured him to level 7 instead and had him face the much tougher evil minions that live there.
* [[Stunt Double]]: In the final episode, during the hand-to-hand fight with Ganon:
{{quote|'''Fairy''': He looks... [[Lampshade Hanging|a little bit]] [[I Know Karate|asian]].}}
* [[The Game Come to Life]]: Deconstructed. All the usual aspects are there, with Neil taking the role of the hero character, and the quest being generally the same (Get Triforce! Defeat "GANNON"! Save Princess). However, Neil isn't as entranced by this notion as much as a kid would be, and often reacts to the general weirdness around him the way any normal person would: as a [[Deadpan Snarker]]. Also, the seedier underbelly of Hyrule, not explicitly referred to in the game, is emphasized by places like the "Money Making Game!" bar and Mirth's Pub. In addition, most of the characters are given much more characterization beyond what the capabilities of the NES could express. The Old Man with the sword is a jerk, the Moblins are a bunch of drunk fratboys, Ganon is a "mental invalid", etc.
