Line 452:
== L ==
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Ganondorf. Just to show much of a sociopath he is, {{spoiler|when he kills Sonia, he [[Evil Laughter|laughs like a total jackass]]... but only after Zelda starts crying as she cradles the dying queen in her arms}}.
* [[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.}}
* [[Lady of War]]: Riju, who carries herself with queenly grace, dignity, and beauty as she cuts through monsters on the battlefield. Urbosa would be proud.
* [[Light Is Good]]: While it comes with the territory in a Zelda game, there's a lot of emphasis on the divine restorative power of light combating corrupting, infectious darkness.
** Rauru, the Sage of Light in Hyrule's distant past, is the game's [[Big Good]] and saves Link's life by grafting his own arm onto the hero's body in order to stop Ganondorf's Malice/Gloom from slowly killing him from the inside. Link further dispels the corruption by recieving "Lights of Blessing" from the various Zonai shrines showing up around Hyrule.
** During one Dragon's Tear memory, Rauru protects Hyrule from a horde of rampaging Molduga by nuking them with a massive beam of light further empowered by his wife Sonia, and his descendant Zelda. This is what shows the dark-alligned Ganondorf that he can't simply conquer Hyrule through brute force.
** The mysterious Light Dragon seen flying high in the sky is the only Spirit Dragon who can't passively hurt Link {{spoiler|due to being a transformed, amnesiac Princess Zelda}}, and she even {{spoiler|helps Link fight the hellish Demon Dragon during the game's final battle}}. With that being said, the other Spirit Dragons are still benevolent themselves and while not as outright light-associated as the newest member of their fold, they still glow with a supernatural light and freely allow Link to farm their body parts in order to create powerful weapons, potent elixirs, and upgrade several pieces of clothing.
** While Gibdos are weak to every element, you're encouraged to take advantage of the beams of light shining down from the Lightning Temple's ceilings and reflect them onto the horrible beasts with MacGuyver'd Mirror Shields.
** While Gloom damage can't be healed normally, sunlight and the lightroots in the Depths will dispel it and let him heal normally once again. Also, gloom damage can be mitigated with Sundelions that have been cooked into meals.
* [[Lily Pad Platform]]: You can find these in all sorts of bodies of water, and swimming towards one and standing on top of it is a good way to restore your stamina and avoid drowning.
== M ==
* [[MacGyvering]]: The Ultrahand ability may as well be called "MacGyverhand", since it allows you to combine all sorts of things to create crazy weapons and vehicles.
* [[Making a Splash]]: Water is now a type of elemental damage, and you can fuse Opals to weapons in order to create Water Rods, while you can also throw Splash Fruits or attach them to arrows in order to create platforms of hardened rock in lava or clean up sludge. Sidon is also the Sage of Water, and his ability envelops you in a protective bubble that can also be used as a weapon against your foes.
* [[Maniac Monkeys]]: While the rest of this game's Blins are more piglike, the newly-introduced Horriblins take a lot of cues from primates. They move around by clinging to ceilings with their ridiculously long arms, and make hooting noises similar to those of monkeys and baboons. When you knock one flat on his ass, he'll even clasp his hands over his buttcheeks and cry just like Ook, a monkey miniboss from ''[[Twilight Princess]]''.
* [[Mayincatec]]: Zonai fashion and architecture is inspired by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, and the Geoglyphs you track down as part of the Tears of the Dragon sidequest are the Hylian equivalent to the Nazca Lines in real-world Peru.
