The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: Difference between revisions

* [[Climax Boss]]: {{spoiler|Byrne. He's fought just before Malladus finally possesses Zelda's body.}}

* [[Clothes Make the Legend]]: Link's tunic and cap yet again, this time justified by being the uniform for the royal guards, and Link has to dress up as one to sneak Zelda out. Interestingly, US-version dialogue indicates that no one seems to find the outfit very flattering; one guard calls it "goofy-looking," and when Link puts it on Zelda comments that "It works...I suppose."

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Tetra appears in a stained-glass window; Niko mentions how Link reminds him of someone he used to know when he was younger; you can obtain the shield from ''[[Phantom Hourglass]]'' at one point, and so on...

** Anjean is ''made'' of these.

* [[The Dragon]]: Byrne is this to [[Big Bad]] Chancellor Cole, with Malladus as the [[Bigger Bad]].

* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: The mechanic of "main dungeon you keep returning to" makes a return from ''Phantom Hourglass'', but this one has bypasses built into it and isn't timed.

* [[Escort Mission]]:

** The Force Gem sidequests which don't involve transporting ''items'' from one place to another instead require you to transport ''people'' from one place to another without taking too much damage during the ride.

** Big Keys in a few dungeons are far too large for Link to carry, so Zelda (in Phantom armor) carries them instead -- but then you have to protect her from Keymasters who try to take the key back.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Chancellor Cole.

* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: {{spoiler|Malladus and Cole seem pretty chummy at first, but after Zelda manages to get her body back, Malladus swallows Cole whole to transform into his final phase.}}

"SOMETIMES IT'S LONELY BEING SO ELITE." }}

* [[Obviously Evil]]: Cole. At least Zelda has her suspicions, but they're not nearly as strong as they should be.

** [[Cute Ghost Girl]]

* [[Ocarina Playlist|Pan Flute Playlist]]: First game since ''[[The Wind Waker]]'' to implement this trope.

* [[Serious Business]]: Trains. You can't be an engineer without what essentially amounts to a ''knighting ceremony''.

** Possibly justified when you consider that they regularly travel on and interact with the chains binding the resident [[Sealed Evil in A Can|evil spirit]].

*** In the immortal words of Alfonzo: "You sure you don't mean legendary warrior? I've never heard of a legendary engineer."

* [[Shout Out]]: Eiji Aonuma's main inspiration for this game was ''The Tracks Go On'', a children book he once read to his son.

** What, you never wanted to wreck your train?

* [[Whip It Good]]: One of Link's new items is a whip that looks like a [http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/156823-headerropesnake.jpg snake].

* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Chancellor Cole doesn't embody this trope in personality, but he sure does in dress. In fact, he actually wears ''two'' top hats.

** Of course, they ''are'' to cover up his two demon horns.
