* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: When tangling with one of Agahnim's soldiers, Link zips around him and holds him at swordpoint, demanding to be taken to the Princess. His sword accidentally stabs through a convenient hole in the soldier's armor ("[[Big What|What?]]"), causing him to explode into light and leaves his armor [[No Body Left Behind|clattering to the floor]].

* [[Changed My Mind Kid]]: When Link disregards her suggestion not to go into the oasis, Epheremelda flips her wig and complains that Link never worries about her and that all he ever talks about is Zelda, then indignantly leaves. Moments before being eaten by Vitreous, Link is suddenly rescued by Zora, who explains that Epheremelda summoned him to help.

* [[The Chosen One]]: Link must undertake an arduous quest to find the Master Sword. One problem: The sword itself chooses its wielder, so there was a possibility that even if he survived his journey, the sword still wouldn't let him use it. Luckily, it does.

* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: With no way to reach Ganon's floating castle, Roam goes a little nuts and surrenders to his eagle form. Back on the ground, Zelda says a prayer to the maidens, who magically float her and Link into the structure.

** [[Combined Energy Attack]]: Zelda begins to ask for the aid of the maidens and fires an ordinary arrow from the crossbow, but as it approaches Ganon, the power of the maidens, Zelda, Link, and Roam, turn the arrow into the Silver Arrow, destroying Ganon.

* [[Comm Links]]: The first Maiden hands over the Comfork, a crystal tuning fork. Later, the Comfork begins to ring and Link sees an image of his friends back in Kakariko. At first, Sahasrahla disregards Link's voice [[Its Probably Nothing|as having been his imagination]], the others eventually realize that the Comfork allows them to speak with Link even though they are on opposite worlds.

* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: Those trapped in the Dark World are cursed to become beasts without artifacts or [[Heroic Willpower]]. Roam, however, takes advantage of being able to become an eagle.

* [[The Dark Side]]: The Dark World feeds on the more unpleasant emotions, threatening to turn Link into a beast a few times. The hotheaded Roam is even more susceptible.

* [[Decoy Damsel]]: Link stumbles into an oasis from where Zelda is tied up with vines -- but she turns out to be a Wizzrobe [[Face Revealing Turn|in disguise]], who promptly ties up Link and conjures Vitreous from the swamp to devour him. This is similar to the ploy used by Blind the Thief in the SNES game.

* [[Dressing As the Enemy]]: Zora grants Link the Zora's Mask to disguise himself and not look so conspicuous as he is sneaking around the Dark Palace. This is a nifty precursor to the actual Zora Mask first seen in ''Ocarina of Time.'' (Rather than an actual mask, Zora plucks off one of his own scales and slaps it on Link's mug.)

* [[Hermit Guru]]: Sahasrahla lives '''in''' the Eastern Palace rather than just near it, and forks over the Pendant of Courage. In the game, Link must defeat the Armos Knights to claim the Pendant; this is mirrored in the comic by soldier mooks crashing the temple.

* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: Is there anything the handy Master Sword ''can't'' do? In addition to it's established powers (deflecting Agahnim's magic and paralyzing Ganon), it can channel Link's rage into energy, causing electric storms.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It Villain]]: Link tries whacking at the Lanmola with his sword, but its hide is too hard to cause any damage to it. However, after the Lanmola launches him in the air, he lands on top of the scorpion statue and retrieves the Pendant.
