{{quote|"Za-pow!"}}
* [[Cave Behind the Falls]]: Many examples. In fact, you find the Vah Ruta Divine Helm behind a waterfall in a cave that is behind another waterfall!
* [[Chaos Architecture]]: Downplayed. Most of Hyrule does look the same as it did in the previous game, but the Upheaval has caused quite a bit of its geography to change due to the falling debris from the Sky Islands. There is also the matter of the complete absence of the Sheikah Shrines and Towers, an issue that is not addressed in the game.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]:
** The most vital example, in the beginning of the game, where Link and Zelda delve into the tomb, there is an area of breakable rock, but Link lacks the means to break them. If he goes back there later and does so, {{spoiler| it reveals new paintings that detail everything Zelda has been involved in due to her [[Stable Time Loop]], including her failure to slay Ganondorf the first time and turning herself into the Dragon of Light.}}
** When you first use the Pura Pad’s Camera function, there are already three saved photos - the ones Zelda took in the opening cutscene.
** Also, in the opening cutscene, Zelda can be seen dropping her torch when she falls into the abyss. If Link returns to that spot later and para-glides into the Depths, the torch is still there.
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: There is one cherry tree for each region, with an empty bowl at the base. Put any sort of fruit in, and Satori will appear and put large glowing wisps by all of the map region's cave entrances to show where they are.
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: ▼
** Gloom Spawn are terrifying enemies, and the first few times you encounter them, the best strategy is to [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|get the hell out of there]] before they literally squeeze the life out of Link. But if you are confident enough to stand your ground and skilled enough to defeat one, {{spoiler|it spawns a Phantom Ganon. While this is a shock the first time it happens, you gradually start to realize he’s a lot easier to deal with than the Gloom Spawn was. While there are proper boss fights against him, Boss!Phantom Ganon isn't much harder than Miniboss!Phantom Ganon.}}▼
** {{spoiler|The Final Boss is this too. While the four-phase fight is (to the opinion of most longtime fans) one of the best Ganondorf battles in the entire franchise, the fourth phase (while a visually thrilling battle that lets Link utilize his skydiving skills in a fun way) is much easier than the previous three. The Demon Dragon has very little in the way of offensive moves, and Link, for the most part, simply has to use the Dragon of Light as a launching platform to leap onto his foe’s back to destroy the patches of Malice, enabling him to deliver the final strike in a QTE. [[Fridge Brilliance]] does come into effect once you realize that it's a deliberate move on the developers' part: by recklessly swallowing his Sacred Stone, Ganondorf sacrificed his cunning mind and peerless combat skills for pure power, and suffered heavily for it.}}▼

* [[Collection Sidequest]]: For starters, the Korok Seeds and Spirit Orb quests return (the latter called Lights of Blessing now, which are pretty much the same) but there is a lot more of both.
** Bubbul Gems, dropped by Bubbulfrogs, and there is one for every cave. Gather them and give them to Koltin to get unique items. Eventually, he will run out of items to give you, and the only reason to collect them is for completion’s sake. Well, that and so he can fulfill his lifelong dream of turning into a Satori for whatever reason. {{spoiler|Naturally, it fails... because he turns into a ''Blupee'' instead.}}
