The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • When Byrne helps ward off Malladus from Zelda's spirit, accompanied by awesome music. Turns out to be a Dying Moment of Awesome.
  • In the trailer: When Zelda, despite being intangible, tries to stop a Phantom from smashing Link - Cue Royal Possession. Which, in itself, is one giant CMoA for Princess Zelda over the course of the whole game.
  • The final boss fight. Holy crap. It's not enough that Malladus's final form looks suspiciously like Ganon; it's not enough that Zelda's finally got her body back. No, you had to get into a fantastic, Crowning Music of Awesome-worthy musical collaboration with Zelda and the five Lokomos, which segues perfectly into the final boss theme as Malladus roars and his weak spot is revealed, prompting Zelda to -- for the third time since Wind Waker and Twilight Princess -- pick up the Bow of Light and fight alongside Link. And the final blow? Link's picked up some tricks from his ancestor -- he, with Zelda's help, shoves the Lokomo Sword right into Malladus's forehead. If by now you are not convinced that Cel!Link is more Badass than any other of Link's incarnations, you are not paying attention.
  • Only fitting of a Badass, Byrne get's one when he protects Zelda from Malladus and tells her to not give up at any cost. And he does a Heroic Sacrifice for good measure.
  • Anjean popping up out of nowhere when Byrne is threatening Link and Zelda. A Mentor - Disciple Battle ensues, although it, sadly, happens off-screen (presumably to avoid showing Anjean getting out of her wheel chair. This would have made it necessary to add moveable legs to her model just for that one scene, which would have made it unecessary complicated).
  • The simple fact that Zelda is even accompanying Link on his adventure counts as a Crowning Moment.
  • Anjean and Byrne, both wounded, start to argue about which of them should accompany those poor, poor children for the final battle... Along comes Zelda, and she tells them that they don't need help from either of them, because she and Link are awesome enough to take on the Big Bad by themselves.
  • Sure, Zelda fighting in the final battle alongside Link is awesome. But the fact that she actually helps deliver the final blow just drives the awesomeness home. Despite having stabbed his sword through Malladus's skull, Link struggles to hold his ground against him. And then, Zelda grabs the hilt as well, and with their combined efforts, they manage to shove the sword into his weakpoint...
