Line 128:
* [[Cartoon Bomb]]
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: Part of the charm of the 3D Zelda games are seeing what crazy character designs the developers came up with for each and every [[
* [[Cataclysm Backstory]]: Two notable examples are {{spoiler|Demise's fight against the Goddess Hylia in Skyward Sword}} and the battle to seal Ganon in the backstory of ''A Link to the Past''.
* [[Celtic Mythology]]: Just a little bit. The default name of Link's horse, in the games where she appears, is Epona - which is the name of the Celtic goddess of horses.
Line 254:
* [[Interquel]]: According to ''[[All There in the Manual|Hyrule Historia]]'', the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages|Oracle]]'' games and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' are set between ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' and [[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|the original game]], while ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' is this to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Gets mentioned (and usually poked fun at) in several games.
** In ''Link's Awakening'', there's a subquest where you have to deliver a picture from a shy man and his female penpal. Said penpal turns out to be a talking goat in Animal Town (who sends him back a photo of [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Princess Peach]] to boot).
** In ''Majora's Mask'', Treasure Chest Shop Owner (a female Terminan) will flirt with you while you're wearing the Zora Mask.
** In ''Oracle of Seasons'', Link need to go on a date with a Subrosian (mysterious, subterranean people who wear cloaks, eat metal and bathe in molten lava) in order to proceed and can ask her for further dates as well.
Line 368:
* [[Recurring Riff]]: The main motif of overworld theme of the first Zelda game can be heard in numerous songs throughout the series.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: The entire Hyrulean army. It's a wonder that they still bother.
* [[Reincarnation (trope)|Reincarnation]]: In ''Spirit Tracks'', the Lokomo [[Ascend To A Higher Plane]] at the end of the game and say they will return in a new form without memories of their previous life. In ''Skyward Sword'', {{spoiler|the goddess Hylia is reborn as that game's Zelda.}}
* [[The Reveal]]: Ever since ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', almost every game has had at least one of these, ranging from "oh, that's pretty interesting" to '''"HOLY CRAP, DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?!"'''
** ''A Link to the Past'': {{spoiler|Agahnim is actually Ganon's alter ego}}.
Line 415:
* [[Sequel Difficulty Spike]]: ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Adventure Of Link]]'', full stop. The first game was already a certain level of [[Nintendo Hard]], but the second game took that and added [[Platform Hell]] and a hard-to-master combat system. ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' may count as well, as it can be hard to keep track of everything that resets with each [[Groundhog Day Loop]]. (Though an in-game "appointment book" helps.)
* [[Shifting Sand Land]]: Since the beginning, typically termed the Gerudo Desert.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Mostly to [[Donkey Kong|Mario]].
* [[Sigil Spam]]: The Triforce is only the most prominent example. This series loves its recurring symbols. An incomplete but extensive list can be found [http://zeldawiki.org/Symbols here].
* [[Silver Bullet]]: The Silver Arrow plays a crucial part in slaying Ganon in both the original ''Legend of Zelda'' and ''A Link to the Past''. Stab him as many times as you want with any sword in those games. Without the Silver Arrow finishing him off, Ganon will keep coming for more.
