Line 264:
** {{spoiler|In the final battle, when his defeat seems eminent, Ganondorf decides to do the same thing, swallowing his Stone, and turning himself into the dark demon dragon.}}
*[[Dark Is Evil]]: Ganondorf, who spreads an even deadlier strain of Malice called Gloom around Hyrule, and is so in tune with unholy dark magic that he comes off as a demon in human form.
*[[Dark
**The Bargainer entities speak through creepy statues that are found in the Depths, but they at least claim that the reason they want Link to collect Poes (which are lost souls) in order to send them to the afterlife to receive their rightful reward (or punishment). Because they can also speak through a Goddess statue, they may be her allies, servants, or even darker aspects of the Goddess. This may, however, be a case of [[Good Is Not Nice]], as {{spoiler|the Yiga journals say the statues stole the souls of their comrades, which at very least suggests the Bargainers killed them.}}
***The same goes for many of the items they sell, including the Dark and Depths Armor sets.
Line 282:
** As far as lesser examples go, there are the Gleeoks: powerful, frightening-looking three-headed dragons who can generate dangerous elemental auras when they initiate combat. They're easily the toughest overworld bosses, and are widely feared by players and in-game characters alike.
* [[Draconic Divinity]]: The Spirit Dragons from ''Breath of the Wild'' return, this time with a fourth dragon in tow. The mysterious Light Dragon {{spoiler|(a transformed, (mostly) mindless Princess Zelda)}} is eerily beautiful and serene even by their standards, and the way she isolates herself high in the sky truly makes her feel like an unknowable divine being.
*[[Double Meaning Title ]]: Triple meaning, actually. Tears of the Kingdom could either refer to the tear-shaped motif, or the fact that Hyrule Kingdom has been torn apart by the Upheaval. It also could refer to the three “tiers” of Hyrule itself, the surface, Depths, and Sky Kingdom.
*[[Double Take]]:
**Happens when Hoz first sees Link - it takes him a few moments to realize who it is.
** {{spoiler|Master Kohga does this at least once when Link encounters him attempting to use a piece of Zonai technology. He mistakes Link for a Yiga Footsoldiers and tells him to take over - and then it sinks in that it’s his hated enemy watching him.}}
**[[Drama-Preserving Handicap]]: It is stated repeatedly how in the past Ganondorf was far too powerful to defeat, and that not even the seven greatest warriors of Hyrule could slay him. It seems, however, that ten millennia of imprisonment in that tomb has reduced him to a withering husk, and he requires some time to regain his full health and power. Riju notes that the reason they survive the encounter in Hyrule Castle’s throne room is because he is still not strong enough to face them all, which means they still have a chance.
*[[Dramatic Irony]]: When the Zonai ruins appeared among the clouds and started falling from the sky a massive effort was started to study and research them. However, from the point of view of the player, this research becomes obsolete fast, between Link’s ability to use the Zonai devices and the flashbacks from the geoglyphs. They do help a little due to their translations of the steles (which Link cannot read) but Link barely needs that to uncover the mysteries of the Zonai of his own.
*[[Dressing as the Enemy]]: {{spoiler|Once Link obtains the full Yiga set, he can pass as a Yiga and enter their hideout unnoticed, plus he can use it to prevent disguised Yiga attacks and ambushes. In fact, switching to the armor after a random ambush starts causes the attackers to cease and despawn.}}
*[[Disc One Nuke]]: It is possible to get the Champions Leathers armor very early in the game, once you finish the quest that activates the tower to Lookout Landing.{{spoiler| Simply brew a few Stamina Elixirs (easily done by finding a few Crickets) then use the Tower to launch Link into the air, and then use the Glider to fly to the front gate of Hyrule Castle. There are no enemies or traps there (yet), despite its significance to the end game, it’s perfectly safe now. Enter the throne room and light the braziers, and this opens a secret compartment where you will find the Champions Leathers.}}
*[[Dude, Not Funny]]: {{spoiler|Wearing a Yiga Clan uniform and talking to Sheikah NPCs will have them remark how Link's outfit is of incredibly poor taste and strongly recommend that he change into something more respectable. Trying it in Gerudo Town will result in the guards ''arresting'' Link, and refusing to let him out of jail until he takes it off.}}
*[[Dying Race]]: The Zonai are quite likely an extinct race - only Rauru and Mineru are still around, and both are spirits.
