The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Hylian Soldiers in the bar scene. (About 1:13) They start off all gung-ho and ready to escort Ilia to Kakariko... until they hear there's actual danger involved...
  • Cats of the Hidden Village A hilarious parody of the game's own Spaghetti Western Shout-Out scene earlier in the same location.
    • Wolf Link stands fiercely at the entrance of the deserted town at high noon. Sweeping camera angles and quick cuts map out the area and display the many cats that now infest it. Then the spaghetti western music cues, and you know that Link is going to befriend the hell out of them.
  • Midna (the titular Twilight Princess) is a veritable vending machine full of these. It helps that she's the game's resident Deadpan Snarker, too. One quote in particular jumps to mind:

Midna: There isn't a nicer way to collect [the light bugs] than to burn someone's house down, is there? Oh well. I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    • Another one, in a nice case of either Lampshading or some Fourth Wall Trope:

Midna: You're just now figuring out where Zant got his power?

    • There's also her antics with the sword and shield once you go into the Twilight for the second time. She tries to hold the sword by the blade, and wears the shield like a mask.
    • "Say something. Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?"
    • If you find the bridge that goes to Kakariko Gorge, or the missing piece of the Eldin Bridge, but teleport to the wrong place, you may get this gem (among others possible):

Midna: Hey! Are you doing that on purpose to make me mad?! Are you trying to drive me crazy, bringing me to a place like this?! Give me a break!

    • In another case of in-game lampshading, when you enter the Lakebed Temple, she says the it's a much better place that the Goron Mines. As you make your way through the temple, her opinion changes from enthusiastic to annoyed.

Midna: Why did those Zoras think it was a good idea to build such a huge temple?!

    • Whenever Links turns into a wolf, she gets on his back quite abruptly...every single time. The annoyed growl and look he gives her are quite amusing.
  • Similar to in Link's Awakening:

Trill: Pay like you're supposed to next time, cheapskate.

  • Just when you think you've finished off Armogohma, the triumphant victory music suddenly stops, and the boss's less-than-impressive true form tries to escape to the sound of a xylophone...just so you can finish it off for real with whatever humiliating tactic you can think of - one of which is standing there dumbfounded for a moment, watching it try and get away, then letting a Bomb Arrow or two loose.
    • Even better; Link's expression during the reveal is pretty much a Flat What without the sound. Priceless.
    • Might I suggest the Dominion Rod next time you try that? It even grants an extra cutscene showing Armogohma being literally flattened by the statue's hammer. It looks like it got run over by the world's largest steamroller.
  • Castle Town Malo Mart.
    • Even better, the text you get when you buy the Magic Armor from the Malo Mart. "You got the Magic Armor! You bought it! You are smart! You bought it at Malo Mart!".
    • Even the dance they do is hilarious!
      • The Gorons at Malo's Kakariko Village mart are doing it!
    • If you look closely, you might notice half the people in Castle Town carrying Malo Mart bags. I'm not sure why, but that always strikes me as hilarious.
  • Using your (strictly prohibited!) lantern in Barnes' shop. He wasn't kidding with those signs!
  • In the desert area outside of Arbiter's Grounds, charging while riding one of those boar-like mounts causes Link to hold on for dear life, with his legs flying behind him.
  • When you have to revisit the Sacred Grove, Rusl calls over a golden cucco to help you get there. Once you've arrived, morph into a wolf and talk to it. It says "Twinkle twinkle little cucco, I am gold and not for you-oo." Couldn't make this up if I tried; it had both This Troper and her sister in fits of laughter.
  • Early in the game, you can hit Malo (the midget of the three kids) with your slingshot and his head will just be knocked backed. My older sister and I loved doing this (that is, until we ran out of ammo).
  • One of the first things you can do in the game is go fishing with the rod that Colin made for you. There is a cat looking at fish in the river in Ordon Village. Catch a fish near said cat to gain its attention. Catch a second one and it'll run off with your fish. Link's expression says more than any words ever could.
  • Fight Ganondorf. Use your fishing rod. Now watch as Ganon stares at the rod, looking at the juicy worm... THEN STRIKE!
  • In Ordon Village, you can use some falconry skills to knock down a beehive... but for a funny scene, put it off until you talk to Hanch as he's throwing rocks at it. He manages to hit it... unfortunately for him.
  • Yeto's response if you turn down his offer to race you:

"You hate fun, uh?"
