Line 30:
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Link is the Boy Without A Fairy, and thus teased by all the "other" Kokiri...in the [[Backstory]], at least. The game ''begins'' with [[Exposition Fairy|Navi]] bonding to Link. In a subversion, most of the Kokiri are happy for him. Only [[The Rival|Link's rival]] [[Stupid Boss|Mido]] continues to be a douche about it. In the future, on the other hand, he's still the odd one out as the only outsider who ''does'' have a fairy.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The Kokiri with blond hair is called Fado. Her name was only ever revealed on the old Zelda64 site.
* [[Alternate Timeline]]: As noted above, confirmed with ''[[All There in the Manual|Hyrule Historia]]''. {{spoiler|Later games confirm a split in the Zelda universe's timelines, as a result of the [[Time Skip]] in this game--one where Young Link returns to his own time and grows up normally, the other where Adult Link disappears (when he returns to his own time as Young Link). The former leads into ''Majora's Mask'' and ''Twilight Princess'', while the latter leads into ''Wind Waker'' and its sequels. A 2011 encyclopedia revealed a third timeline, created if Link failed to beat Ganon in this game, which leads to ''A Link to the Past''.}}.
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: Ocarinas were real even before this game came out. [[Defictionalization|But now]] you can buy ones that look just like Zelda's.
* [[Always Close]]: No matter how much time you had left, Link and Zelda always manage to get out of Ganondorf's castle immediately before it explodes and crumbles into itself.
Line 46:
* [[BFS]]: The Biggoron Sword. It requires both hands to wield, and, at least in the remake, it's about as long as adult Link is tall.
* [[Bigger on the Inside]]: Jabu Jabu's Belly. It's [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], having extremely large intestinal tracts as a dungeon. For some reason, monsters are living inside there.
* [[Big Yes]]: Part of Darunia's reaction to "Saria's Song.".
* [[Bishonen]]: Adult Link.
* [[Bizarrchitecture]]: The Forest Temple has some wonderful mind-screwing corridors that can twist 90 degrees.
* [[Bleak Level]]: The Shadow and Spirit Temple.
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: The beggar that buys bottled fish and bugs. (Hishis counterpart in Termina, the banker, has this trait as well.).
** Some of the Kokiri children, particularly the Know-it-all brothers.
* [[Block Puzzle]]: No ''Zelda'' game should be without them.
Line 76:
* [[Bowdlerization]]:
** Originally, Ganondorf coughed blood shortly before the castle escape, and Ganon also bled with the final few hits. This was recolored green in later versions of the game, so when Ganondorf coughed up that blood...it looked more like throw-up, and green slime poured out of Ganon in the final blows. Surprisingly, all blood when Link is hit, as well as the bloody spots and skeletons in the Bottom of the Well, as well as the bones in the graves, are kept, E-Rating and all!
** In the Fire Temple, the original version specifically sounds like the Arabic for the First Pillar of Islam ("There is no god but God, and Mohammed is his Prophet") and "God is great.". All of these changes were only made in game v1.2, not the gold cart (v1.0) and first run regular carts (v1.1).
:[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-9-pop-fiction/710815 A Gametrailers video elaborates on this slightly.]
*** Let's not forget the Gerudo crest, the [http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/d/d1/Ocarina_Of_Time_-_Mirror_Shield.png Mirror] [http://www.playoldgames.net/stories/game_sprites/oot/newmirrorshield.jpg Shield] being a late game example. Much like the Fire Temple theme these were altered because the Gerudo Crest was too similar to the Islamic Crescent Moon.
Line 98:
* [[Character Tics]]: OoT Link is well-known for his inability to drink anything without [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|dramatically brandishing it in front of himself first]].
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Link might need quest items to perform ''some'' feats of strength, but as a boy he can already pick up football-sized boulders, hold them above his head, and hurl them a good ten feet.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Both the Skull Kid in the Lost Woods whom you teach Saria's Song to and the Happy Mask Shop owner become pivotal characters in [[VidoeVideo Game/The LegendofLegend of Zelda Majoras Mask|Majora's Mask]].
* [[Cherry Tapping]]: A lengthy yet surprisingly effective method of battling Dark Link is using the broken Giant's Knife. Using the stab attack with Link's default sword will make Dark Link [[Combat Pragmatist|jump onto the blade and deliver an unavoidable attack.]] However, since the broken sword has no blade to jump on, the stab will always hit. Just be prepared to do it ''a lot''.
* [[Chick Magnet]]:
