The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Difference between revisions

** Once again, this trope ends up being how {{spoiler|Kohga is dealt with at the end of his sidequest chain. His sloppy handling of a whole bunch of Zonai Rockets leads to him [[Pokémon|blasting off again]]. While it's unlikely that he's dead considering that he survived a far more definitive-looking "death", it's still enough to put him out of commission for the rest of the game.}}

* [[Homing Projectile]]: Attaching monster eyeballs to arrows will turn them into these. In particular, it's a ''godsend'' when you're up against a [[That One Boss|Gleeok]].

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: {{spoiler|Mineru's soul ends up inside one of these once you tackle her questline, and the boss of the Construct Factory is a [[Psycho Prototype]] of her mecha body corrupted by Malice. Likewise, Kohga ends up controlling one of his own during the final battle with him. Compared to his previous boss fights, [[Beware the Silly Ones|he's actually somewhat dangerous.]]}}

** If you want to, you can create one of yours by combining a bunch of materials together with Ultrahand. The best part is that due to how flexible the fusing system is, you can create machines as elaborate as [[Metal Gear Solid|Metal Gear]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfpZDj_Fso Rex], and machines as crude and silly as the ever-popular [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4gZz3NSMxbw flamethrower dick robots].

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Tragically, the normally wise Rauru ends up holding onto it with a death grip despite trying to ''avoid'' doing exactly that. While he justified his decision to welcome Ganondorf into Hyrule as him keeping an eye on him, {{spoiler|it backfires on him big time when Ganondorf murders his wife, steals her Sacred Stone, and turns into an unstoppable [[Humanoid Abomination]]}}. Judging by how he acts while visiting {{spoiler|Sonia's grave}}, [[My Greatest Failure|he must be ''seriously'' beating himself up inside for ever thinking that such a stupid plan could have turned out okay.]]

* [[Infinity-1 Sword]]: The equipment drops from Silver Bokoblins are the weakest of the silver monsters', but hey: their horns and Royal weapons still pack a tremendous punch.

* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: On the other hand, Silver Lynel drops are once again busted beyond belief. Their mace and saber horns give the weapons they're attached to a tremendous damage boost, and the bows they drop are often ''5-shot bows'', meaning that you can fire five arrows at once while it only counts as you using one.

* [[In the End You Are on Your Own]]: [[Zig-Zagged]] during the game's finale. If you've awakened all the Sages {{spoiler|you'll be horrified to see that they can't follow you into Ganondorf's lair deep beneath Hyrule Castle. However, they manage to get a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment where they come to your aid during the [[Multi-Mook Melee]] near the end of the daunting trek to Ganondorf's lair. While they end up staying behind to fight off the resurrected temple bosses, they catch up just in time to take the pressure off you when Ganondorf summons a few Phantom Ganons to help him out in the final battle.}}

== J ==

* [[The Joys of Torturing Mooks]]: Part of the fun of messing around with the Ultrahand ability is coming up with all sorts of creative ways to kill enemies. Whether it's running them over with massive ATV's, launching giant exploding dicks at them, burning them alive in gas chambers, or siccing an army of killer roombas on them, the sky is truly the limit.

* [[Jump Scare]]: There's an infamous one in Hyrule Castle that's bound to catch most players off-guard: through a very narrow doorway is a room full of Horriblins clinging to the ceiling. Because of said narrow doorway you won't know they're there until one of them drops right in front of you without any warning whatsoever.

* [[Justified Tutorial]]: While he isn't amnesiac like in the previous game, Link's been given a whole new set of abilities by Rauru in order to help him fight against Ganondorf's hordes of monsters. Thus, the justification behind the brand new Great Plateau-style tutorial in this game.

== K ==

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Rauru, Sonia, and Mineru don't survive the events of the game. While there was no way they ''would'' thanks to them hailing from Hyrule's distant past, they each had their life cut short by Ganondorf. Ganondorf, likewise, seems to have been definitively killed off... or at least, ''this'' version of the character.}}

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Dragon head-shaped flamethrowers are among the Zonai devices you can create. Early on you're nudged into combining one with a shield in a cave that's home to a Like-Like, and the result is a ''fire-breathing shield''!

* [[Kill It with Water]]: The same, likewise, can be accomplished with Hydrants attached to constructs and weapons. The Zora's Domain scenario, in fact, revolves around washing away toxic grime and fighting sludge-spewing monsters. It almost feels like you're playing a ''Zelda''-flavored version of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

* [[King Mook]]: There's three among the enemies, overworld bosses, ''and'' temple bosses respectively.

** For the enemies, there are the Boss Bokoblins. Bigger, fatter, stronger, and meaner than your bog-standard Bokoblins, they lead several of their weaker brethren into battle and coordinate group attacks by blowing on special horns.

** For the overworld bosses, there are the Froxes and Obsidian Froxes in the Depths. They prefer to fight you solo though, so don't expect any of the little baby Froxes to jump in and help their big bros out.

** And finally, there's the boss of the Gerudo Desert scenario: Queen Gibdo. She's the [[Hive Queen]] of the new buglike Gibdos, and she'll unleash hordes of them on you during her boss fight.

== L ==

* [[Lady Land]]: Gerudo Town once again. However, {{spoiler|because they're facing down a potential [[Zombie Apocalypse|Gibdo Apocalypse]], they have no choice but to welcome Link, a man, into their town so he can help fight back against the hordes of zombie bugs descending upon their home. Once Queen Gibdo has been killed, Riju allows him to come and go as he pleases as the one man allowed into Gerudo Town.}}
