Line 85:
** Tulin was a hatchling in BotW, and his now an early adolescent, with "hair" tufts that make him resemble his father, larger wings, and larger eyes with noticeable sclera.
** The Blood Moon looks a lot larger in the sky and is far more detailed. Consequently, the normal moon is also larger.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Interestingly, Ganondorf's nemesis isn't Link. Instead, it's Rauru, whose benevolent rule as a king disgusted him due to his own [[Social Darwinist]] leanings and his [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|disbelief that someone with absolute power like him wouldn't use it to crush others under his heel.]] Most of his villainy seems partially rooted in spiting Rauru while Link is little more than an amusing distraction for him {{spoiler|at least before Link well and truly earns his hatred after pushing him to his breaking point in the final battle.}}
* [[Artistic License Chemistry]] Complete the “Message"Message in a Bottle”Bottle" quest and give the recipe for Hateno Cheese to KojinKoyin, and she will have a batch at the dairy farm for sale as soon as you next arrive there. While it is possible to make homemade cheese in as short a time as an hour, fine cheese (which it supposedly is) can take anywhere from three weeks to two years to make as aging is required for best taste. Though of course, this isn't really a case of the developers not doing their homework so much as it is an [[Acceptable Break From Reality]].
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In ''Breath of the Wild'', Teba’sTeba's son Tulin’sTulin's was a minor NPC, who does little but watch Link shoot archery targets as part of an optional side quest. ''Tears of the Kingdom'' has an older Tulin replacing his father in the role of the Rito’sRito's regional hero, as he has developed a new wind-gust technique that leads to him becoming Link’s partner for the Hebra portion of the main line quest where he and Link explore the Wind Temple, aiding Link in the boss battle as the Sage of Wind.
* [[Ascended Glitch]]:
** In ''Breath of the Wild'', it was possible to construct flying machines with some creativity and Loophole Abuse of the physics engine, such as by stacking two minecarts together and then using Magnesis on the bottom one. The Ultrahand ability allows for such vehicles to be built deliberately, the developers going so far as to demonstrate the building of one during the March 2023 Gameplay Demonstration.
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
** A Frox shares traits of both a Hinox and Talus, it can be stunned by striking it in the eye or throwing an explosive into its maw, and the ore deposit on its back must be then be destroyed.
** Marbled Gohma can only be harmed by striking its huge, single eye; this requires Link to first use Yunobo’s charge attack to destroy two of its legs, which stuns it and makes it vulnerable.
** Colgera Wind Temple cannot be harmed except by striking the three icy disks on its body. Link can either shoot them with arrows or position himself above it and skydive through them (more dangerous, but far more fun).
* [[A Twinkle in the Sky]]: {{spoiler|Once Link defeats Master Kohga for the final time, he tries to attack with a barrage of missiles, only for them to backfire and send him rocketing out of the Depths [[Pokémon|Team Rocket-style]].}}
* [[Audience Surrogate]]: {{spoiler|The Yiga Clan seem to have a lot in common with the player regarding their experimentation with Zonai technology. The devices they have built are... unsubtle, but practical, and they tend to give their invention odd names that would not seem out of place among fandom. Also, their bases in the Depths have journals detailing their discoveries, much the same way a dedicated player would take notes on the exploration.}}
Line 666 ⟶ 667:
** A notable aversion is in the opening cutscene of the game; the player can have Link swing his sword at Zelda, but it doesn’t hurt her and she doesn’t even notice.
* [[Video Game Perversity Potential]]: [[Sarcasm Mode| It took all of a day before people started crafting together perverted constructs]], such as a wooden man with a large cannon barrel for a penis that erupts fire before the two testicle bombs dangling underneath completely explode. There's also [[Ass Shove| the unique way]] you can use Ascend to get to the top of some of the statues in the Depths.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|Starting the final fight as cavalier and smug as can be, Ganondorf's pride takes a serious blow when Link proves more than capable of not ''merely'' going toe-to-toe with him, but outright humiliating him even when he goes all out with his Demon King form. He's so furious and desperate to win that he swallows his Sacred Stone knowing that he'd be destroying his sentience in exchange for absolute power, purely because he refuses to lose to a "mere mortal".}}
