The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: Difference between revisions

* [[Bigger On the Inside]]: Not only do islands look a lot smaller while you're sailing than they do on land, they also have larger varieties in elevation like cliffs, hills and peaks when you're viewing them from your boat that aren't quite as evident when you're walking around on them.

* [[Build Like an Egyptian]]: The Cobble Kingdom.

* [[Comic Book Adaptation]]: Yet another [[Zelda Manga]] has been made, this time about this game.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Aside from being a sequel to Wind Waker, who exactly are the Six Sages buried on the Isle of the Dead?

* [[Enfante Terrible]]: The [[Obviously Evil]] Cubus Sisters, at least while they still appear human.

* [[Enter Solution Here]]: One way they show off the DS's features is to allow you to write notes on maps. To make sure you get maximum use out of this feature, the solution to a puzzle is frequently given somewhere else in the dungeon, and you're intended to write it down when you find it.

* [[Executive Meddling]]: The game was originally going to be the first 3D ''[[The Legend of Zelda Four Swords (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Four Swords]]'', but when [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] demands a ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Wind Waker]]'' sequel, his will shall be done. At the very least, it explains the promotional artwork that has [http://gallery.zeldalegends.net/categories/PhanthomHourglass/Official%20Art/Characters/37851020060427_180739_1_big.jpg seven Links].

* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Ciela. Leaf and Neri also occasionally serve as this.

** And parodied before that when Link opens up a chest and finds...nothing in it.

** Parodied yet again when Link receives a "mysterious" gift (which is {{spoiler|invisible clothing}}) from the Man of Smiles, he does his usual [[Item Get]] animation but with a disturbed expression.

* [[Kid Hero]]: Link is still not beyond the age of thirteen in this game.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: One of the talking skeletons whines about not being able to use the D-pad and buttons.

* [[Obviously Evil]]: As noted, the Cubus Sisters. Seriously this is what the youngest sister says when describing her "captured" sisters. (Red text not included)

{{quote| '''Youngest Cubus Sister''': Fallen! Fallen! They are the fallen! Excuse me. I don't know what came over me. }}

* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]: A girl just pretends to be one for fun. A big hint is her wearing an inner-tube as she swims around.

* [[Out of Focus]]: Tetra compared to ''The Wind Waker'', with Linebeck getting the limelight instead.

** While you're sailing, a flock of seagulls will gather behind you. You can shoot them.

** Link can attack cuccos with any of his weapons, however, [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|overdoing this will cause a flock of angry cuccos to attack him]].

** Doubles as a [[Shout Out]] to [[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|its predecessor, which also had a frog who summoned cyclones for your ship.]]

{{quote| '''Linebeck:''' "Hey, good for you! Taking a break from saving the world! Class act!"}}

** [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Linebeck's original (and increasingly subverted) reason for going with Link at all is to make money and plunder stuff.
