* [[Hundred Percent Completion]]: The only possible value to be gotten from one particular bonus. {{spoiler|Once you have the Phantom Sword, you can kill the Phantoms in the Temple of the Ocean King. If you kill all the Phantoms on each level, you get an extra bonus, such as a piece of treasure or a ship part. This is great...except that once you have the Phantom Sword, there's nothing left to do except fight the [[Final Boss]], meaning that the treasures and ship parts are essentially useless.}}

** The game is [[Book Ends|bookended]] with ''[[The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' references: it begins with Link on a ship caught in a storm and ending up washed ashore on an island, and ends with {{spoiler|Link meeting a whale-like creature who returns him to his own world where his adventures seemed to be [[All Just a Dream]]}}.

** There seem to be at least a few thematic shout-outs to ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', as well, such as Link freeing trapped guardian spirits (the Ocean King and his helpers/the Four Giants), an emphasis on time limits (the Hourglass/the three-day cycle), a bad guy with tentacles and big, yellow eyes who seems more like a destructive force of nature than a thinking, plotting villain (Bellum/Majora), a yellow fairy companion with a bit of an attitude (Ciela/Tatl)...

** The eyes on the boss "doors" and keys reminds one strikingly of [[The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap|Vaati's eye motif]].

** Gleeok is a double [[Shout Out]]. The multi-headed dragon makes its first appearance since the [[The Legend of Zelda (Video Game)|original game]], but is given powers similar to that of Trinexx from ''[[Link to The Past]]'' (one head shoots fire, the other shoots ice).

** The way to defeat a Pols Voice in this game - by shouting into the microphone and then slashing it with the sword - was originally how one was supposed to defeat it in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Video Game)|original game]], but it was taken out when the game was imported to America (since the NES didn't have a microphone).

** Nyave tells Link, as a joke, that the kaleidoscope he found (belonging to someone from the Ho-Ho Tribe) belonged to his sister (as if he had one anyway). This is a reference to Aryll giving Link a telescope in ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Wind Waker]]''.

** Out-of-series example: During one of Jolene's later ambushes, she reveals that she knows that Linebeck is hiding in the wooden box. When she calls out to him, [[Metal Gear Solid|the only thing you see come from the box is an exclamation point.]]
