Line 51:
** You visit Linebeck's grave at one point in the adventure.
** The Ends of the Earth station has puzzles for Master, Tempered and Golden puzzlers. Those are the names of the sword's upgrades in [[A Link to The Past]].
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Link can ride on top of Phantom!Zelda while she walks through lava and neither are any the worse for wear.
* [[Convenient Color Change]]: When Zelda possesses a mook.
* [[Cool Train]]: {{spoiler|It goes under the water on sunken tracks! It friggin' fires torpedoes underwater! And if you think that's cool, you haven't seen the super speed and invincibility given by Tears of Light in [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]--which even works in reverse!}} It's basically this side of the [[Kamen Rider Den O|Den-Liner]] in terms of coolness.
Line 156:
** Another example is Byrne. You gotta [[Just for Pun|Byrne the Cole]] after all.
** Link's hometown is Aboda Village, "abode" being another word for "home."
** This is also very true of the Japanese version. Some are rather obscure, though: Byrne is "Diigo", which comes from the popular-with-Japanese-railfans [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D51_steam_locomotiveD51 steam locomotive|D51 locomotive]], while Cole is "Kimaroki", referring to a [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%9E%E3%83%AD%E3%82%AD%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%90 specific arrangement of locomotives and specialized railcars] used in the past to clear snow off the tracks. A third is Shirokuni (Alfonzo), who is a reference to the [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JNR_Class_C62JNR Class C62|C62 locomotive]], the fastest and most powerful passenger locomotive of Japan's steam era.
** All of these applies to the English version of the game. Even more Punny Names can be found in the other versions.
* [[Rail Enthusiast]]: Ferrus, the resident [[Fan Boy]] in the train-covered world. You meet him a few times in the main adventure, in which he gives you helpful hints about the next temple, and he's also a part of a few [[Sidequest|sidequests]] in which you can fufill his dreams of going underwater and meeting Alfonzo. Oh, [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|and you can hit him with the cannon.]]
Line 169:
** And as the Esoteric-Goron claims, engineers have a special "aura" allowing them to feel the presence of one. It's like engineer is another word for [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|"really awesome person"]] in New Hyrule.
*** 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.
* [[Skyward Scream]]: Again, when Zelda finds out Cole's plans. It helps that she actually flies up and screams at the camera while spinning around.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Cole. Makes one wonder how could he fool everyone in Hyrule Castle when he's so [[Obviously Evil]].
* [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]: The races for treasure at the aptly-named Slippery Station.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Subverted: Cole has all the trappings of never becoming anything more than an annoying little twat, but he's a surprisingly effective villain.
* [[Some Dexterity Required]]: The final boss fights that require you to control both Zelda and Link, as well as the Lokomo duets.
Line 199:
* [[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.
* [[Workplace -Acquired Abilities]]: Isn't it convenient that a newly-minted train engineer just so happened to be our Link?
* [[You Can See Me?]]: When Zelda realizes that Link has followed her into her room. It's never really explained ''why'' he can see her. All of the Lokomo they meet can ''also'' see her.
