Line 14:
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: 15 (of 20) stamps in Niko's stamp book unlocks the train conductor's outfit you wore at the beginning of the game.
* [[Animated Armor]]: The Phantom really is an enemy and will attack Link until he allows Zelda's spirit to possess it.
* [[Anti
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Byrne/Staven, who is quite [[The Stoic|stoic]], but still has a superiority complex to rival [[Naruto|Neji Hyuuga's]].
* [[Ascend to
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Phantom Zelda. Even the other Phantoms observe that she's adorable, although they don't quite know why (see [[No Indoor Voice]], below).
** The little round pink eyes that appear in the usually empty space beneath Phantom's helmets are more than enough to qualify her.
Line 43:
* [[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."
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]: Battle Mode lets you control one of four Links with differently colored tunics, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
* [[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.
Line 51:
* [[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
* [[Copy Protection]]: Copied/pirated versions of the game don't display the train controls, making riding the train very difficult indeed.
* [[Cosmetic Award]]: Beat Alfonzo's training record of 900 hits and you get a rare treasure, and the guards call you "Captain". Not much, considering you can get the treasure other ways so all you really have is the honor of their respect and that's it.
Line 59:
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Zelda gives off this vibe when handing Link his "disguise" in her room early on in the game.
{{quote| ''Zelda:'' "Please get changed so we can leave. ...Oh! I-I'm sorry. I'll look the other way." }}
* [[Cursed
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Chancellor Cole, who decides to skip the elaborate plots and just separate Zelda's soul and steal her body himself. Also Fraaz, boss of {{spoiler|the Snow Temple, who at one point of the fight will simply destroy the summoning torches you were using to break his defenses}}.
* [[Deceptive Disciple]]: {{spoiler|Byrne, who betrayed his master, Anjean, out of his thirst for power}}.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Snapper, the miniboss you get the whip from, later appears as just another enemy. It is very satisfying to whip him to death with the weapon you took from him. The Geozard, a heavily-guarded enemy, is also made short work of after you can use the whip to remove its shield.
** The Heatoise in the Fire Temple. After you get the Bow and Arrow from the first one, two more show up, and your new weapon can be used to eliminate them in short order.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Remember what happened [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|the last time]] Zelda's soul was removed by the [[Big Bad]]?
* [[Devour the Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Near the end of the game, Zelda gains her body back, leaving Malladus without a host. Malladus then resorts to Plan B and steals Cole's body for a power boost.}}
* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: {{spoiler|Floors 18-24 of the Tower of Spirits. Link and Zelda make it to the top of the tower, only to have the villains escape on the Demon Train. It wasn't helped by the fact that they averted [[Interface Spoiler]] (in the menu screen and, to a lesser extent, the maps), so the existence of a fifth dungeon was a major surprise.}}
Line 70:
* [[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.
* [[Eek!
* [[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.
Line 79:
** Also, {{spoiler|Byrne is quickly betrayed by Cole when Malladus starts possessing Zelda's body}}.
* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Zelda -- {{spoiler|the second time in the series that an [[Exposition Fairy]] is also [[Twilight Princess|the titular Princess.]]}}
* [[Expy]]: Alfonzo, Link's teacher and master, bears a striking resemblance to Gonzo, Tetra's first mate in ''[[The Wind Waker]]''. He's descended him, which would make this an example of [[Generation Xerox]] as well, along with Zelda ("Legacy-Expy" of Tetra) and Link ("Legacy-Expy" of...well, [[Exactly What It Says
** For that matter, Malladus is {{spoiler|a giant blue pig-thing who possesses Zelda}}. If that doesn't sound at least a little Ganon-ish, you either don't know much about Zelda or {{spoiler|haven't reached the end of ''[[Twilight Princess]]''}}.
*** While his movement and basic design harken back mostly to {{spoiler|[[Twilight Princess]], [[The Legend of Zelda (
* [[Feed It a Bomb]]: The carnivorous Fire Baba plants will readily swallow Bombs, blowing themselves up in the process.
* [[Final Boss New Dimension]]: {{spoiler|Attempted with the Dark World, but the final part of the battle is back in Hyrule.}}
Line 97:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Played for laughs. Zelda goes ''totally batshit insane'' for a minute or two immediately after learning [[Demonic Possession|what Cole intends to do with her body.]]
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Byrne holds Malladus off just long enough to give Zelda a chance to reunite her body and soul.}}
* [[Hoist
* [[Identical Grandson]]: Linebeck III, who is essentially Linebeck with a [[Nice Hat]].
** Applies to Zelda as well; her appearance is that of a tan-less Tetra. She even wears Tetra's royal garb (which Tetra herself, however, didn't wear that often).
Line 103:
** Also Alfonzo to Gonzo, in looks if not personality.
* [[Implied Love Interest]]: Of course, Link and Zelda. Actually, in the entire series, only ''[[Skyward Sword]]'' can compete with this game in how clear it is.
* [[Internal Homage]]: Remember the episode of the [[The Legend of Zelda (
** The final boss's final form is {{spoiler|very reminiscent of Ganon, what with being a demonic blue warpig with a red mane. The Demon Train also resembles Ganon.}}
** The final boss battle is very similar to that in ''{{spoiler|[[The Wind Waker]]}}'' in that {{spoiler|Zelda is running around and shooting Light Arrows at the villain, while Link serves merely as a distraction}} and how {{spoiler|Link ends the battle with forehead-impalement on Malladus's part, just as his predecessor finished off Ganondorf.}} The key difference is that this time, {{spoiler|you actually control which way Zelda goes and when she shoots the arrows. Also, she can't accidentally hurt Link with them, like she could in ''[[The Wind Waker]]''.}}
** May or may not be intentional, but the symbol for the Ocean Realm bears a striking resemblance to an [[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|hourglass]]...
** You travel to forest, snow, ocean and mountain, with a large tower standing in the middle. There's some differences, but the resemblance to [[The Legend of Zelda:
** The whip is known as the "rope snake." In several games in the series, the snake enemies are called 'Ropes'.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: The guy who runs the Rabbitland Rescue really, ''really'' loves bunnies...so much so that he left his wife behind in Castle Town with no indication of where he went. When Link brings her to see him, she's angry at first, but relents and decides to stay and help him take care of the bunnies, since it makes him happy.
Line 127:
* [[Money for Nothing]]: Once you find Linebeck, you can sell the many pieces of treasure you've picked up to him. Earlier in the game, this doesn't quite result in a [[Money for Nothing]] situation, since good treasure is rare, and there's still plenty of nice items to spend cash on. Later on, however, once you've bought the major necessities and have accessed the multiple minigames that hand out rare treasure like candy, the game clearly reaches this point.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Three, although they differ only very slightly from each other, depending on the answer given to Zelda's question shortly before the final battle.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: The Hylians take the [[Sealed Evil in
** There's also the Song of Discovery, a magic tune for the Spirit Flute that essentially functions as a shovel.
* [[Neutral Female]]: Zelda tries to invoke this for herself in the beginning, claiming that watching on the sidelines is [[Lampshade Hanging|a family tradition]]. It doesn't stick.
Line 137:
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Cole. At least Zelda has her suspicions, but they're not nearly as strong as they should be.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Unusually for the ''Legend of Zelda'' series, the Dark Trains and Armored Trains will cause an instant [[Game Over]] if they hit your train, regardless of how fast they hit you or what condition your train is in.
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: More like [[Everything's Better
** [[Cute Ghost Girl]]
* [[Ocarina Playlist|Pan Flute Playlist]]: First game since ''[[The Wind Waker]]'' to implement this trope.
Line 159:
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Byrne sacrifices his life so Zelda can regain her body.}}
* [[Red Right Hand]]: Chancellor Cole has a pair of horns hidden under his twin top hats. Less conspicuously, he also has reverse-coloured eyes, with black scleras and white irises. For some reason, however, his eye color is normal whenever he shows his demonic traits...
* [[Rewarded
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: This is just about the most active and helpful a Princess Zelda has ever been in this series, second only perhaps to [[The Legend of Zelda:
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Sequential Boss]]: {{spoiler|There are three phases to the final boss fight (four or five if you include the Demon Train or the six armored cars beforehand, but you can save after those battles).}}
* [[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
** 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."
Line 182:
* [[Sword Beam]]: Your reward for [[Gotta Catch Em All|getting all 50 rabbits]].
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: You can saddle Beedle with one, the same kid from Link's home village who conned him into rolling into a bee-infested tree. It's necessary to get a Force Gem from the kid, but even more so, it's hilarious to see Beedle's reaction when you bring him into the store.
* [[Taking You
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: As usual in the series, Link. But this time Zelda turns into [[Little Miss Badass]] herself. Malladus' back can vouch for that.
* [[Traintop Battle]]: In a game centering around trains, this was inevitable: {{spoiler|part of the final boss fight against Malladus is Link and Zelda making their way across the top of the Demon Train.}}
