Line 188:
* [[Beneath the Earth]] : One of the ways Hyrule was massively expanded was via the addition of the Depths, a subterranean realm roughly equal to Hyrule itself which can be entered via ominous chasms in the overworld. These dark caves have an alien ecosystem with a high monster population, strange trees and plants, giant mushrooms, Zorai ruins, and patches of the dangerous Gloom spawned by Ganondorf’s foul magic.
* [[Benevolent Architecture]]: Whenever you need to use the Ultrahand to construct something, the materials are usually close by. (With a sign saying anyone is welcome to take them.) The hard part, of course, is figuring out how to use them.
* [[The Bet]]: Link enters a wager in two side quests:
** In the Gerudo Desert Link meets an old guy named Rahdo who bets Link 50 rupees that he can withstand the extreme cold of the desert night longer than Link can - the catch, of course, is that you cannot wear any armor and must remain on the same elevated rock, and you have to do so for 7 hours and 30 minutes to win the bet. Do so, and Rahdo then wagers 150 rupees that he can withstand the extreme heat during the day longer than Link can, with the same conditions.
** The side quest “One Hit Wonder!”; Link finds a woman outside the South Akkala Stable - Parcy - futilely hacking away at an ore Deposit, trying to break it and extract the gems from it. The look he gives her (possibly because she is doing it wrong, trying to do so with a Traveler’s Sword - makes her angry and give him a Let's See You Do Better dare, challenging him to break it in one hit. She doesn’t give him anything if he succeeds, but lets him keep the gems, which may include one or more Diamonds.
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: {{spoiler|Mineru made it perfectly clear that draconification is an irreversible process, and given how scientifically inclined she is, it's not like she was making wild assumptions. Yet at the end of the game, Link is able to turn the Light Dragon back into Zelda through [[The Power of Friendship]] and [[The Power of Love]]... as well as with a bit of help from Rauru and Sonia.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Ganondorf takes center stage as the game's main threat, and unlike his previous appearances? He's a flesh-and-blood Gerudo this time instead of a boar monster or an [[Eldritch Abomination]] made of Malice.
Line 199 ⟶ 202:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler| Downplayed. Ganondorf is dealt a crushing defeat, Zelda is restored to normal, Link's arm is restored, and the Sages swear eternal alliance, suggesting peace in Hyrule has been achieved at last. Sadly, however, Mineru, Rauru, and Sonia leave the mortal world forever - of course, given how long they’ve had to wait to gain their just reward, it seems fitting.}}
* [[Blackout Basement]]: The Depths are pitch-black. Instead of Shrines, they have Lightroots that Link must activate to transverse the eerie darkness.
** Also true with one of the
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Polearms return as weapons in this game, but Link can go [[Not Hyperbole]] here, using Fuse to attach almost any sharp object (like a Moblin Horn or another weapon) to a weapon to enhance it, creating a literal Blade on a Stick. You can even fuse a polearm with another polearm, creating a Blade on a Stick on a Stick!
* [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce]]: In one quest found in Lurelin Village, an NPC - Ralera - wants you to bring her Seafood Curry - made from Goron Spice, Hyrulian Rice, and any variety of Porgy. She’s happy when she gets it, but the spice is so overpowering, she needs Link to use a fan-weapon to cool her off!
Line 221 ⟶ 224:
** Ultrahand. Use this device to move Object-A, then “glue” it to Object-B, repeat until you have a bridge, powerful weapon, or even a vehicle.
** Plain old wooden clubs like the Boko Bat aren’t all that strong offensively, but their high durability means you’ll get far more use out of Fused items before the weapon breaks, and they’re also easy to find.
* [[Borrowed Biometric Bypass]]: Consensual example here. When Link loses his arm after being Curb-stomped by Ganondorf at the beginning of the game, Rauru replaces it with his own Magitech prosthetic arm (which he doesn’t need anymore, being a spirit). This new arm is how Link uses the omnipresent Zonai technology throughout the game.
* [[Boss Only Level]]: Downplayed with the Spirit Temple. The Temple itself is one room where you fight the Boss to gain the MacGuffin. The true dungeon in this part of the story is the Construct Factory that you have to go through in order to access the Temple.
* [[Boss Rush]]:
** The Floating Colosseum in the Depths, where Link has to fight five different Lynels - Red, Blue, White, Silver, and Silver with Armor; winning gets him the Majora’s Mask.
** Before Link confronts Ganondorf, all of the bosses from the Temples show up here, restored to life by his dark magic. However, the only ones you actually have to fight are the ones in any temples that you did not finish - the sages fight them if you did. If you have completed all the Temples, this encounter is a cutscene boss. Tulin even lampshades the concept of the Trope, stating it isn't a problem, as they've already beaten them once.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Mobs who use bows have an infinite supply of arrows, and those who carry items that arrows can be fused with (like Fire Fruit or Shock Fruit) never run out of those either. This does have one benefit, though, as these enemies will drop the same amount of arrows and fusibles (usually five but occassionally ten) when killed.
* [[Bottomless Pits]]: Much like last time, these are obstacles in many of the Shrines. Falling into one causes Link to wake up at the last part of solid ground he was at with a few less Hearts. Also, the Chasms that lead to the Depths are not actually bottomless, but they sure seem that way from above. {{spoiler| This is the case with the pit in Master Kohga’s [[Boss Arena]] in the previous game, seeing as he ended up in the Depths, and that same pit is now a way to access the Depths.}}
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]:
** Hestu’s Gift is, again, [[Solid Gold Poop|the “reward” for collecting every last Korok seed]], which again, is unnecessary. There is also the Dispelling Darkness Medal which you get for activating every Lightroot in the Depths, which also does nothing.
** Downplayed with the Cere Hat that you get for completing the Mayoral Election questline. Stylish as it is, it provides no benefit, but you can sell it for 600 rupees.
* [[Brain Uploading]]: {{spoiler|Mineru, the Sage of Spirit has ''downloaded'' her soul into the Puriah Pad. To unlock her as a party member, Link has to traverse the Construct Factory to build a [[Humongous Mecha]] that she can use as a new body - to beat the ever-living crud out of Ganondorf’s minions.}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: All of the adult Goron are this at first, given the addictive nature of the Marbled Rock Roast, but {{spoiler| Yunobo has it the worst, having been enspelled by the evil mask that “Zelda” gave him.}}
* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: The previous game had the Giant Horse and White Stallion, which could be acquired from optional quests. This game has them too, plus the Giant White Stallion - [[Fridge Logic| maybe a foal of the first two?]]
* [[Breakout Character]] Purah. [[She's All Grown Up]] now, and fans have noticed, check out the fanart if you don’t believe it.
* [[Breather Boss]]:
** {{spoiler|Yunobo. For an NPC who proved himself a capable warrior in the previous game and proves it again later in this one, the boss fight against him (where Link has to [[Beat the Curse Out of Him]]) is remarkably easy. You dodge his charging attack, causing him to crash, which leaves him stunned and vulnerable to attack, then hit him, and then repeat that two more times. Why this Boss Battle even needed a health bar is a mystery.}}
** The Sludge Like in the Water Temple chapter. This is supposed to be a tutorial on how to use Sideon’s ability, but said ability is clumsy and unreliable, so you’re really better off using Splash Fruit. And once you do that, this Like-Like variation isn’t much harder than all the other Like-Likes you’ve gone up against in this game.
* [[Broken Bridge]]:
** In the opening chapter in Great Sky Island, Link can only open the door to the inner sanctum of the Great Sky Island if he has 4 Heart Containers, meaning he must visit and complete all four Shrines on the Island. Trying to open it after without that many after the first attempt will kill him.
** A door on Dragonhead Island is similar - that one needs 10 Heart Containers.
** Much like in ''BotW'', gaining the Master Sword has a requirement - {{spoiler|in this case, Link must hold onto the Dragon of Light’s back long enough as it ascends into the sky. This means Link needs 5 extra Stamina Vessels rather than the 13 Heart Vessels from last time.}}
* [[Bucket Helmet]]: Many NPCs in the Monster Forces missions wear makeshift armor, including this. Reede wears one when Link helps him defend his pumpkin patch from monsters - he’s something of a novice fighter.
* [[Bullfight Boss]]: {{spoiler|Yunobo}}; defeating him while {{spoiler|he's still under the mask's control}} is pretty simple, you dodge his charge attack, causing him to crash into a wall, which makes him dizzy and vulnerable; then hit him until he recovers, then repeat two more times.
* [[The Bus Came Back]]:
