* [[Badass Decay]] and [[Chickification]]: Zelda was hit with this the moment she was [[Distressed Damsel|kidnapped by Ganondorf]] after revealing herself to Link, for no explained reason; especially if you take account that she spent seven years {{spoiler|[[Took a Level In Badass|as a Sheikah warrior]]}}. Thankfully, she gets better once she's freed.

* [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks]]: Those who were expecting more changes and additions to the main game, just like [[Nintendo]] did with ''[[Super Mario 64]] DS'' and Game Freak with ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver (Video Game)|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'', will be a bit disappointed with the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake.

** And Kaepora Gaebora as well, who speaks in long, often pointless (and ''unskippable'') monologues, and always asks you if you want to hear it again. Annoyingly, the option "Yes" is the default, meaning that button-mashing can increase the odds of going through it ''again''. Also, half the time he asked if you wanted to hear what he said again, meaning you had to press "no" to skip, but the other half of the time, he asked if you understood what he said, meaning that you had to press "yes" to move on. This meant if you didn't read carefully, you often chose the wrong option. It's brilliant parodied in [http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/05/12/333-advice/ this] [[Brawl in The Family (Webcomic)|Brawl in The Family]] comic.

* [[Sequel Displacement]]: Many started the series with this one. It even leads ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' to be called "Zelda 2" by a few ([[Gannon Banned|we don't recommend saying this in public]]).

* [[Vindicated By History]]: When the games were released Navi was [[The Scrappy|wildly hated by most fans]]. Nowadays she's seen as more tolerable, and a lot of people think she doesn't deserve the incredible amounts of flak she used to get. It helps that she was the originator of [[Camera Lock On|one of the most important additions to not only the series, but to 3D gaming in general]]. Though that being said, she still has plenty of detractors as well.
