The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Difference between revisions

** Implied by the name of the shrine where Link was sleeping, “Shrine of Resurrection”, though Purah affirms he was only seriously wounded, averting the trope.

** During the Blood Moon, Calamity Ganon resurrects enemies slain by Link so they can try to kill him again.

* [[Badass Princess]]: Zelda has fit the Trope before, but this is, without a doubt, the most badass version yet. She's been ''fighting Ganon nonstop'' for the past 100 years!

* [[Bad Moon Rising]]: The moon turns red when Calamity Ganon's power rises to its peak. During that time, known as "Blood Moon", the enemies who Link have slain are raised from the dead to fight for Ganon, between other nasty side effects.

* [[Big Bad]]: Ganon as usual, but this time as Calamity Ganon, a creature described as "Hatred and Malice incarnate" that threatens to overwhelm the world unless Link stops it in time.

* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: While the Yiga Clan are genuinely dangerous, it's hard to take them even the slightest bit seriously thanks to how much of a clown Kohga is. {{spoiler|The man accidentally kills himself with his own attack, for goodness sake!}}

* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: The Great Fairies, who are very thickly built and absolutely ''stunning''. Also, middle-aged Gerudo collectively sport something of an "ex-jock" gut, but are still quite attractive despite their weathered, aged faces.

* [[Big Fun]]: As usual, Gorons as a whole skew towards being fun and jolly souls. Daruk in particular is an [[Boisterous Bruiser|enthusiastic brawler]] who treats Link like a beloved little brother.

* [[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.

* [[Full Set Bonus]]: Each style of armor consists of a helmet, top, and pants; while each piece gives Link some benefit alone, additional pieces of the same armor increase the benefit, and sometimes the full set gives Link an additional boon. For instance, one or two pieces of Snowquill armor gives Link some resistance to cold, but all three makes him impervious to attacks that cause Freezing.

** Most sets require that the Great Fairies upgrade every part at least twice to deliver the bonus, though; the exceptions are those sets which cannot be upgraded, in which case the bonus is available immediately.

** The Radiant outfit is a peculiar case, its set bonuses being the ''only'' physical effects it provides. The same goes for the Gerudo outfit (which is also non-upgradable).

* [[Gentle Giant]]: The spirit dragons are imposing at first thanks to their titanic size, but they're peaceful creatures that will serenely fly by, and don't care about Link shooting at them for their parts.

* [["Get Back Here!" Boss]]: A variant. When Link first meets Naydra, the dragon is covered with Malice that is attempting to corrupt her. Link has to chase after Naydra using the Glider and fire arrows at specific parts of the Malice to purge it and free Naydra.

** Lynels have a deadly cunning all of their own. They're excellent blacksmiths who know how to forge intricately-crafted shields and weapons, they'll eventually see through any disguises you use against them, and if you're trying to sneak up on them and get their attention, they'll spend a lot more time looking around for you than other enemies. Also, if you try to hide behind cover and snipe them from there, they'll simply aim their arrows upward and shoot you from an arc.

* [["It" Is Dehumanizing]]: Calamity Ganon is consistently referred to as "It", likely because knowledge that he [[Was Once a Man]] is almost completely lost to time. And those in the know like Urbosa aren't exactly inclined to be respectful towards him due to his evil actions making him a disgrace to the Gerudo.

* [[Joke Weapon]]: Tree branches, mops, hoes, wooden spoons... if it isn't a conventional weapon, chances are it'll be wimpy and break almost immediately. Still, they're handy in a pinch during the very early game, where you need any weapon you can get until the really good ones start rolling in.

* [[Jungle Japes]]: The Faron region, which is a massive expanse of jungle filled with tropical fruits, abandoned Mayan-style ruins, and home to swarms of Lizalfos.

** Magda also pulls off some seriously deranged facial expressions if you keep trampling on or destroying her flowers.

* [[Neglectful Precursors]]: This whole crisis might have been avoided had the Ancients thought to put some sort of kill-switch on the remarkably easy-to-use technology they left lying around...

* [[Non Sequitur Episode]]: ''The Legend of Zelda'' has three timelines, [[All There in the Manual| as detailed in]] ''The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia'', each depending on the outcome of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Orcana of Time]]''. ''Breath of the Wild'' is the only game not included in any of the three. Nintendo is purposely leaving it open to interpretation, and story-wise, it could fit all three. Possibly it is intended to merge all three. The update in ''Creating a Champion'' states that everything before the ''Breath of the Wild'' backstory has faded to myth, implying that, whatever the timeline, the backstory of this game takes place hundreds - maybe thousands - of years afterward.

* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: The evil Yiga Clan are decent fighters, but their obsession with bananas and over-the-top buffoon of a leader may lead you into thinking that they are just comical foes like the Bokoblins. {{spoiler|But then you learn about Dorian's backstory as a former Yiga Clan member. The Yiga Clan, in response to his defection, killed his wife and now threaten to kill his children if he does not give up information about Link and Kakariko Village. Even when he complies to their wishes, the clan members decide to execute him for outliving his usefulness, and would have succeeded if Link had not intervened. Despite their goofy demeanor, they are still a ruthless and murderous cult carrying out Calamity Ganon's will.}}
