** For Van Ruta, Link must ride on Sidon’s back until an opening appears, then use his own skills to disable the switches on Ruta's sides by swimming up the waterfalls and shooting them with Shock Arrows.

** For Van Rudana, Link must use the cannons found on the rim of Death Mountain to launch Yunobo Human Cannonball style, destroying the sentries and damaging Rudana enough to halt it.

** For Vah Medoh, Tiba flies Link to the altitude needed for him to pelt the shield generators with Bomb Arrows, although he doesn’t do much after that except shout encouragement.

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Link's feminine good looks make him a very convincing woman when he crossdresses, and several oblivious men fall head over heels in love with him when he talks to them. Vilia also passes for an attractive Gerudo woman... [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|until you get a peek under his veil.]]

* [[Awesome But Impractical]]: You can surf down hills and mountains on your shield. It sounds like fun, except that it does a ''serious'' number on its durability and will lead to it breaking a lot faster than if you saved it for blocking attacks.

* [[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]].

* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Unsurprisingly, becoming a swirling mass of dark Malice energy hasn't made Ganon a single bit nicer.

* [[Dead All Along]]: {{spoiler|The Old Man in the Great Plateau is a dead king. More exactly, King Rhoam of Hyrule. And unlike Zelda, none of the four Champions survived into the present day}}.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: What got the entity inside the Horned Statue an eternity of imprisonment by the goddess Hylia; she didn't like him making outrageous deals like exchanging life for money, or the reverse.

* [[Death Mountain]]: The trope namer returns, this time being so hot that without proper protection, Link will burst into flames and burn to death in ''seconds''. And even while he's flame resistant, he's still having quite a miserable time thanks to the unbearable heat.

* [[Dem Bones]]: The Stalkoblin, Stalizalfos and Stalmoblin are reanimated corpses (of a Bokoblin, Lizalfos and Moblin respectively) made entirely of bone, without one piece of flesh visible. There's also the Stalnox, which are undead Hinoxes, as well as rare Skeleton Horses you can ride until the sun rises.

* [[Didn't Think This Through]]: The inn and shops in Goron City were intended for tourists, not exactly the best idea since most non-Gorons can't survive living there. Still, they're ''very'' useful for Link.

* [[Disc One Nuke]]: Hyrule Castle is an ''armory'' of these. You can go there as soon as you leave the Great Plateau, and if you're careful enough you can walk out with a ton of powerful endgame weapons that trivialize your early battles while they last. You can also get the Hyrule Shield there, which is the best shield in the game and ridiculously durable, making it perfect for practicing your parries against Guardians.

** If you have the DLC installed, the Phantom Armor can be found incredibly early if you don't mind exploring the hostile Guardian-infested Hyrule Field and going toe-to-toe with a Lynel. While it can't be upgraded, 24 defense in total isn't too shabby for most of the game, and its set bonus (a 50% attack boost) means that you'll be hitting ''hard''. And that's before you crank up your attack further with a bunch of cooked meals.

* [[Heroic Mime]]: While this is the first Zelda game to have voice actors, Link, as always, remains silent. This is emphasized in one scene where [[Action Girl| Urbosa]] asks him a question, but he does not vocally answer, and she says, [[The Silent Bob|"Yes, your silence speaks volumes."]]

* [[Hero of Another Story]]: All four of the Champions qualify, each having gained heroic prestige among their own peoples long before meeting Link.

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: The easiest way of taking down a Guardian is parrying their attack with a shield, reflecting their energy beam attack back on them. {{spoiler|Master Kohga also accidentally kills himself when one of his giant metal balls chases him down the bottomless pit in the middle of his room.}}

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: There are three dragons in Hyrule; Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra. All three divine beings of unearthly beauty with [[Physical God|godlike power]] who harness the [[Elemental Powers|elemental forces.]] Simply getting close to them is dangerous, as their auras can crush Link quickly if he doesn't have proper protection. "Awesome" doesn't begin to describe them.

* [[Jerkass]]: Revali is not a nice guy, and belittles and insults Link every chance he gets. Unfortunately for him, getting killed by Windblight Ganon and having to watch Link take care of it as a formless spirit forces him to eat a nice, big slice of [[Humble Pie]].

* [[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.

* [[Stout Strength]]: Riju's bodyguard Buliara has a stocky muscular gut and ''huge'' arms, making her come off as the female equivalent of a power-lifter. King Dorephan of the Zora is built similarly, and is known to have flung a Guardian off a cliff when it tried to attack Zora's Domain years back. And of course, the Gorons as a whole are as rotund and buff as they always are.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Link's ability to swim is handled rather realistically; he can swim as long as his stamina wheel holds out. However, he can swim just as well in plate armor as he can in a regular shirt and trousers. It's different for monsters: Bokoblins and undead enemies swim about as well as anchors, and it's relatively easy to defeat a group of them by luring them into water. The same goes for Guardians, but if you defeat them that way, you lose the loot they drop, which is often the biggest reason to fight them. Lizalfos, however, can swim like fish and often ambush Link from water.

* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Link can achieve the Champion weapons used by his fallen allies. After clearing each Divine Beast and saving the Champion's bound spirit, Link gets one from the leader of the Champion's race - the Boulder Breaker, Scimitar of the Seven, Great Eagle Bow, and Lightscale Trident. These weapons can break, but it that happens, the NPC who gave it to him can fix it using a Diamond and a lesser version of the weapon. Also, for the [[Final Battle]], {{spoiler|Zelda gives Link her Bow of Light.}}

* [[Take Your Time]]: Yes, Link awakens right when Zelda's about to be overwhelmed after a century of holding back Calamity Ganon. But you're free to spend in-game months goofing off and exploring the world, solving shrine puzzles, and looking for Koroks to your heart's content. Calamity Ganon will never break free until you're ready to fight him.

* [[Thirsty Desert]]: Literally the case with Gerudo Desert, where Link has to keep hydrated (or use special magic armor) to survive the brutal daytime heat.
