Line 498:

* [[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.
* [[Made of Evil]]:
** The Gloom is a dark substance that is usually found in the depths, similar to the malice of the previous game. (Biggest visual difference, malice was black and purple, but Gloom [[Red and Black Keep Back| is black and red]].) Gloom is a poisonous substance that leeches the health from Link he touches it, causing wounds that cannot be healed while in the depths except by special methods.
** One of the memories shows that the Blood Moon not only resurrects Ganondorf's minions, it ''created'' them, being a phenomenon he used to channel his dark magic.
* [[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]]''.
Line 503 ⟶ 507:
* [[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.
* [[Mecha Mook]]: While the Guardians are nowhere to be seen, there are still [[Magitek]] robot enemies in the form of the Zonai Constructs. They're a lot less scary than their predecessors, but still dangerous (especially the [[Demonic Spiders|higher-leveled]] constructs).
* [[Minecart Madness]]: Minecarts are no longer exclusive to the Death Mountain region, and with the addition of Zonai devices and Ultrahand, you can build self-propelled carts for fast travel through any place with tracks. The Fire Temple in particular focuses on minecart puzzles.
* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: Part of the fun in messing with Zonai constructs is taking the elaborate weapons and amazing vehicles that you make, and using them for the most basic menial tasks imaginable. Sure, you ''could'' make a car to transport Koroks to their friends... ''or'' you could launch them to the distant campsite with a catapult. Likewise, why create basic Rock Hammers with rusted weapons when you can mine with style by fusing a rock to the ''Master Sword?'' Or hell, why use a weapon at all when you have {{spoiler|Mineru's robot body}} at your service?
* [[Multi-Mook Melee]]: {{spoiler|Before you take on Ganondorf, you (and potentially the Sages, if you've awakened them) have to cut your way through an army of monsters that he summons once you arrive at his doorstep. It's very similar to the army of Bokoblins you cut down before the final fight with Ghirahim in ''Skyward Sword'', except you've got a much more diverse array of enemies to fight, including the dungeon bosses if you haven't already defeated them beforehand.}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]:
** One of the most useful features of the Purah Pad is the Ultra Hand; way back in the 1950s (when Nintendo made toys, rather than video games) they put out a product with that name. It has been featured in other games, including featured in other games like ''[[Mario Kart|Mario Kart 8]]'', ''[[Splatoon|Splatoon 3]]'', and the ''[[Wario Ware]]'' series.
** The fight against the Scourge of Zora's Domain features a Mucktorok, which is a large cephlapod-like creature which mainly attacks by encasing itself in a shark made of sludge and its second phase has it cover most of the arena in sludge to swim around in to get away, which also hinders Link's movements and has to be cleared away with water, echoing a fight against the Inklings or Octolings from ''[[Splatoon]]'' .
** If you shoot down a duck mid-air, they will fall to the ground while spinning in the exact same manner as the ducks from ''[[Duck Hunt]]''.
** Possibly a coincidence, but whenever a fan is activated, it sounds like the protagonist of ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' doing a spin flip.
** Most players know that Link tends to hum whenever he cooks; what most do not know is, he’s humming iconic tunes from the franchise. These include the main theme music, "Zelda’s Lullaby" and "Ballad of the Goddess" from [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]], "Saria’s Song" and "The Hyrule Field Theme" from [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], "Ballad of the Windfish" from [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link’s Awakening]], "Midna’s Lament from [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]], and "Champion’s Ballad" from [[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]].
