** Bludo's a crotchety old Goron who regularly fights Vah Rudania and drives it off when it arrives to cause trouble. Unfortunately, [[Dented Iron|his old age is catching up to him]], and his bad back prevents him from fighting it when you show up at Goron City. There's also Pikango of the Sheikah who isn't a fighter, but pulls off some seriously impressive globe-trotting feats.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Link and Revali are this among the Champions. Urbosa, Mipha, and Daruk were born with their special abilities, but Revali had to create Revali's Gale himself. Even without it, he's a great flier and godlike archer. Likewise, Link doesn't have any special abilities of his own, but his strength and determination to protect the innocent make him a borderline [[Physical God]] on the battlefield.
* [[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!

Mipha also deserves a mention, as she's great with a spear and capable of some seriously cool acrobatic feats while swimming.
* [[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.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: All Gerudo show off their bellies, whether they're [[Cheerful Child|adorable children]], [[Hot Amazon|attractive young women]], or [[Fan Disservice|withered-looking old ladies]]. There's also Kiana, a minor NPC from Lurelin Village as well as the Great Fairies, who also show some midriff despite their thicker builds. And finally, Link can also get in on this by [[Disguised in Drag|wearing a Gerudo outfit to infiltrate Gerudo Town]].

* [[BFS]]: Two-handed swords like the Royal Claymore and Great Flameblade are this by default. Fireblight Ganon's sword is also incredibly big.

* [[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 Man]]: There's no telling what [[Fat Bastard|Kohga]] looks like under his mask, but his female followers certainly think he's a dreamboat. Daruk and Yunobo are also surprisingly hunky for Gorons, with the former looking like he stepped out of a [[Bara Genre]] manga while the latter comes off as his species' equivalent to a [[Bishounen]].

* [[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.

* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]:
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: Shrine Guardians are usually as weak as their small builds would suggest, but the ones in the Tests of Strength can take a lot more punishment and hit way harder. You better hope you don't accidentally wander into a Major (or even Moderate) Test of Strength early into the game, because the Guardians in charge of those are full-on [[Marathon Boss|Marathon Bosses]] that will outlast practically all your fragile weapons before forcing you to solely rely on your bombs and their [[Scratch Damage]] to hurt them with.

** Lynels are very technically enemies, with color-based power scaling like the much weaker Bokoblins, Moblins, and Lizalfos, and they don't have the visible names or gigantic health bars that bosses have. They're still much tougher than said bosses and the strongest versions have health on par with Calamity Ganon himself.

** Silver and Gold enemies are ridiculously tanky in general and take a lot of punishment before falling.

** Majora's Mask from the same line of DLC outfits is an odd pacifistic example: it won't help you efficiently kill monsters faster, but it does allow you to infiltrate Bokoblin/Moblin/Lizalfos camps and steal weapons, shields, and other gear without them bothering you. You can get it a lot earlier than Kilton's monster masks, which allow you to do the same thing, but only with specific monsters while Majora's Mask is more of an all-purpose tool.

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: In order to do ''anything'' in Gerudo Town, Link has to dress as a woman, wearing something that looks like a harem girl outfit; he's clearly embarrassed the first time he does it. Oddly, several Gerudo catch on fast to this disguise - including Princess Riju and her [[Number Two]] - but they still insist it's necessary.

* [[Draconic Demon]]:
* [[Draconic Demon]]: Artistic depictions of Calamity Ganon from the first battle with him 10,000 years ago show him looking like an evil, dark colored Eastern dragon. Which is odd, because while he ''does'' look vaguely draconic as he twists and coils around Hyrule Castle, his usual boar motif is a lot more apparent.

** The normally benevolent Naydra is turned into one of these due to being corrupted by Calamity Ganon's Malice. She's still peaceful and goes out of her way to isolate herself in the mountains so she can't hurt anyone, but she still looks horrific thanks to the poxlike corruption clinging to her body.

* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: Kilton sells Bokoblin, Moblin, Lizalfos, and Lynel masks that you can use to disguise yourself as each monster. Bokoblins, Moblins, and Lizalfos will be totally fooled and won't attack as long as you don't hurt them or get exposed by another monster. Lynels however are only fooled for a short amount of time, and will eventually attack if you hang around them for too long. The DLC would later add Majora's Mask which is basically all four of those masks combined into one, making it the perfect all-purpose disguise.

** Eventide Isle is meant to be a challenge that tests your resourcefulness by stripping you of all your gear when you arrive, forcing you to scavenge gear so you can raise the local Sheikah Shrine... ''or'' you could just drop some good clothes, weapons, and food on the raft to the island, let the cutscene play, then laugh all the way to the bank as you slaughter your way through the monsters roaming the island with the equipment that you pick back up.

** You're ''supposed'' to get to Zora's Domain by enduring a brutal gauntlet of Shock Arrow-wielding monsters on a long, winding path during a rainstorm. But with some patience and Revali's Gale, you can enter the Domain through the back by traveling down from Akkala and thus avoid the Shock Monster gauntlet from hell. You even get a special cutscene if you pull it off!

** Hyrule Castle is a daunting multi-floor dungeon infested with Guardians and high-level monsters. But if you have any Zora armor on hand, you can zip up the conveniently-placed waterfalls outside and defang a good 95% of the level's challenge right then and there.

Revali's Gale has a similar effect, but the Guardian Turrets have a better chance of sniping you that way.
** Infiltrating the Yiga Clan hideout is stressful as hell because it's a forced stealth sequence in a game that doesn't revolve around stealth, and getting caught will cause Yiga Blademasters who will kill you in one hit to come after you in full force. But if you hoard a few [[One-Hit Kill|Ancient Arrows]], you can go on a Blademaster killing spree and turn [[That One Level]] into a walk in the park.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Ganon does not even remotely resemble a human in this version, and has long been stuck in the form of a vaguely boar-shaped cloud of Malice called Calamity Ganon. {{spoiler|When you fight him, his first form is that of a grotesque, multi-limbed creature that straddles the line between "zombified corpse that vaguely looks like Ganondorf" and "mechanical insectoid monstrosity", while his second is a [[Kaiju]]-sized boar made of Malice and concentrated hatred for life itself. No matter the form though, just ''existing'' creates dangerous Malice, a type of miasma that corrupts anything it touches, including machinery such as the Guardians.}}
** If you know how to create a shock trap (drop an electric weapon mid-swing, drop metal weapons onto it to create an electric current), you can stunlock an imposing Guardian Scout IV to death by tricking it into getting too close. It takes a while to die, but it can't do ''anything'' to you.

** {{spoiler|Satori, the Lord of the Mountain is a spectral... ''thing'' that is not of this world, and is a divine creature that looks like a horse with the faces of two owls and the antennae of a moth. People respect and fear him, with stable handlers refusing to board him out of fear of being cursed in retribution, but he's an entirely benevolent creature to Link and can serve as a temporary mount if you tame him.}}

** The spirit dragons are Eastern dragons that follow the usual stereotypes: they're divine in nature, serpentine, fly gracefully through the skies, and can bestow incredible gifts upon mortal kind. However, their moose-like faces are ''seriously'' weird, and being in close vicinity of them is extremely dangerous because of the elemental energy leaking from their bodies. And just in case that wasn't weird and otherworldly enough, after flying around for long enough, they'll disappear into a portal in the sky that opens out of nowhere and quickly closes after them.

* [[Exposed to the Elements]]: Again, averted. 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.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Most elderly Zora hate Hylians, and blame them for the Calamity as well as {{spoiler|Mipha's death}}. So when Link visits the one place in Hyrule full of people who remember him, their hateful attitudes towards him keep his reunion with the Zora from being a truly happy one.

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, Moblins, 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.

Also, for the [[Final Battle]], {{spoiler|Zelda gives Link her Bow of Light.}}
** While Lynels have been a ''Zelda'' enemy since the NES original, the ones here are a lot like Darknuts in the sense that they're accomplished warriors who skillfully wield powerful weapons and require nothing less than masterful swordplay to kill.

* [[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.
