**Drawing your bow while you're in the air will slow down time to a snail's pace so you can easily aim your arrows. This will quickly drain your stamina, though.

* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: A rare case of a video game where this is subverted. Link cannot survive the superheated air in the [[Lethal Lava Land|Eldin]] area without magical protection (either potions or special armor) and any combustible items he carries burn quickly. The closer he is to the source of the heat, the more protection he needs.

The in-game thermometer [[Readings Are Off the Scale|can't even measure the temperature there]] and just reads “{{color|red|Error}}”.
* [[Cool Sword]]: The Master Sword, of course, but there are others, like the [https://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_Bladesaw Ancient Bladesaw]. It's [[Chainsaw Good| a ''freakin' chainsaw'']] that Link uses like a sword!

* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Purposely subverted. Link can cook some pretty potent [[Power-Up Food]] when he follows his recipes, but if he tries to cook ingredients that obviously shouldn't go together, like put bat wings in with apples and rice, all he'll get is a barely edible mess. Putting more than one stat enhancing ingredient in one dish will likely ruin it too.

* [[Darkest Hour]]: Shown as history, the battle a hundred years ago which ended with Ganon winning. The ''literal'' darkest hour is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVNJL7bErZc shown via cutscene] as a recovered Memory, complete with a [[Hope Spot]].

* [[Dem Bones]]: The Stalkoblins and Stalmoblin are reanimated corpses made entirely of bone, without one piece of flesh visible. There's also the Stalnox, which are undead Hinoxes.

* [[Eldrich Abomination]]: Ganon does not even remotely resemble a human in this version. {{spoiler|His first battle form might be more of a [[Humanoid Abomination]] being a large bug-like [[Cyborg]] made out of Guardian parts and other Sheikah Tech, the only trace of the original Ganondorf being his red bearded face. It's revealed that he was trying to reconstruct a physical body before the battle, but all he managed was a half-rotting corpse. Ganon's final form has the title of "Hatred and Malice Incarnate", and truly fits this Trope, with Zelda stating Ganon has given up on trying to reincarnate. At least in the English version, that is. In the original Japanese version, he become this as a ''result'' of [[Gone Horribly Wrong| trying - and failing - to reincarnate himself]].}}

* [[Exposed to the Elements]]: Again, subverted. Link needs warm clothing or magic to survive blizzards and high altitudes, and the colder it is, the more protection he needs.
* [[Exposed to the Elements]]: Again, subverted. Link needs warm clothing or magic (or to be carrying a lit torch or have a flame weapon equipped) to survive blizzards and high altitudes, and the colder it is, the more protection he needs. Similarly, surviving the heat of Gerudo Desert during daytime requires cool clothing or magic (or to have an ice weapon equipped), and the hottest temperatures require twice the protection. Oddly, fireproof clothing and elixirs provide no protection from the desert heat.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Zelda wears them, apparently only because it looks [[Rule of Cool|cool]].

* [[Flash of Pain]]: Not only does Link flash red while low on health (and when hit), his weapons and shields also do so (on the inventory screen) when close to breaking.
* [["Get Back Here!" Boss]]: A variant. When Link first meets Naydra, the dragon is covered with Malice that is attempting to corrupt him. Link has to chase after Naydra using the Glider and fire arrows at specific parts of the Malice to purge it and free Naydra.

* [[Shock and Awe]]: In a nutshell, being electrocuted in this game temporarily stuns you as you drop a piece of your equipment; and this also applies to some of the monsters, as well.

** Electrical Keese, Electrical Chuchus, and Lightning Wizzrobes, as their names make it obvious. They'll try to shock Link by contact, but don't have other forms of attack.

** Some Wizzrobes wield a Lightning Rod (or its more powerful version, the Thunderstorm Rod), using it to shoot sparks. Link can also use those rods against enemies, if he obtains one.
** Lizalfoes and Lynels often carry Shock Arrows; Link can use them too, and they are useful against enemies in water. They are required for the battle against Divine Beast Vah Ruta.

<!-- removed The Undead, since it contained nothing that wasn't already under Dem Bones -->
* [[The Undead]]: Stalkoblins, Stalizalfos and Stalmoblins, [[Dem Bones|reanimated Bokoblins', Lizalfos' and Moblins' skeletons.]]
* [[Underground Monkey]]: Moblins and Bokoblins have Red (weakest), Blue, Black, Cursed, and Silver (toughest) varieties; Master Mode adds the even tougher Gold variety. Keese, Lizalfos, and Chuchus come in normal, Fire, Ice and Lightning varieties; Wizzrobes have the same types except “normal”. Octoroks have Water, Forest, Rock, Snow, Treasure, and Sky varieties. Talos and Pebbits have lava and ice variants.

** Taken to a literal level with the purple skull chests: you have to kill all the enemies in that area to be able to open it. You can drop a Bokoblin off a cliff but if he somehow survives landing down below, you ''have'' to drop his health to 0 to be able to open the chest.
