Line 14:
* [[Absent-Minded Professor|Absent-Minded Sovereign]]: King Harkinian has a hard time remembering Link's name.
* [[Action Girl]]: Zelda, usually in the form of [[She Fu]].
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Zelda is depicted in the sprite and manual art of the first two games as red-haired, but the cartoon gives her [[Hair of Gold]].
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Link can never get a kiss from Zelda. Whenever she accepts, they're always interrupted.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Hyrule is generally presented as the [[Medieval Stasis]] world from the games; however, in "Stinging a Stinger," the peddler offers Ganon's [[Mooks]] a remote-controlled device in exchange for his freedom. Most of the female characters are depicted as wearing Day-Glo makeup. And in "Fairies in the Spring," Link wears a bathing suit reminiscent of the Forties, while Zelda's suit is a modern [[Princesses Prefer Pink|pink]] one-piece.
Line 50:
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: The Triforce of Wisdom sparkles, as compared to the Triforce of Power, which appears to be perpetually on fire.
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Link has a habit of twirling his sword around in his hand. In "The Missing Link," when he's non-corporeal and can't hold the sword, Zelda uses it -- and does the exact same thing.
* [[Evil Twin]]: In the episode "Doppelganger," Ganon creates an identical copy of Zelda, whose job is to seduce Link into helping her steal the Triforce of Wisdom.
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Getting Zelda to kiss Link.
* [[Fairy Companion]]: Spryte. Quite notably, she was the ''first'' character to serve as a fairy companion to Link, predating Navi by very nearly a decade.
** Interestingly, the inclusion of a [[Fairy Companion]] seems to have been rather popular, as it showed up both in an [[Nintendo Power|ALttP manga]] and a LA manga, as well as in the Valiant Comic. Navi was at best the fifth [[Fairy Companion]] Link had, though the first in-game one.
* [[Fairy Sexy]]: Spryte
* [[Fanfare]]: The Hyrule overworld theme got played as a full fanfare for the first time here.
Line 59:
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: When Ganon's mooks kick him out and try to take Hyrule on their own, they identify themselves as the Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters (B.U.M.)
* [[Fully-Absorbed Finale]]: Link and Zelda would appear in several episodes of ''[[Captain N]]'' after the cancellation of their own show. One episode involved them trying to prevent the resurrection of Ganon.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Link, Spryte, and even occasionally Zelda each have their share of pervy comments throughout the series that [[Parental Bonus|went over the kids' heads]].
{{quote|'''Spryte:''' [''while ogling Link in the bathtub''] I like you just the way you are...''especially'' at the moment!
'''Link:''' [''while looking down at Zelda in her off-shoulder nightdress''] Looking good, Princess! Especially from ''this'' angle!
Line 87:
* [[Interrupted Kiss]]: Spryte interrupts a kiss between Link and Zelda at the end of episode one.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Spryte has a huge crush on Link, and has no qualms about letting it be known. She even kisses him to turn him back from frog status at one point.
** Some of Link's dialogue suggests he ''would'' go for Spryte [[
* [[The Lancer]]: Zelda, who is less of a [[Damsel in Distress]] than usual, but still gets kidnapped by Ganon in a few episodes.
* [[Loves Me Not]]: Link does this at the start of the episode "Stinging The Stinger" and blames the flower on the poor result.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: But of course.
* [[Magic Skirt]]: [[Averted Trope]] by Spryte. When she falls over at one point in the first episode, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot right up her skirt, with [[Vapor Wear|nothing underneath]].
** Link's nightshirt is a case played straight, except in "Underworld Connections," where (as noted above) we get to see his [[Goofy Print Underwear]].
* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]: Link takes being separated from his body and effectively turned into a ghost ''really'' well.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Prince Facade, in "The White Knight." He's all about appearances.
Line 107:
* [[Pants-Free]]: Averted in the daytime; however, whenever Link is shown after he's gone to bed or just gotten up, he's only seen wearing a nightshirt.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Zelda has a few, such as when she dines with a neighboring princes.
* [[Playing Sick]]: Link pulls this in "Cold Spells" to get out of helping with the spring cleaning around the castle.
* [[Post-Kiss Catatonia]]: Link experiences this, albeit briefly, after getting kissed by the fake Zelda in "Doppelganger."
* [[The Power of Love]]: Ganon remarks that Link's love for Zelda is his greatest weakness. It also has to be rather strong, considering the amount of abuse Link takes from his would-be [[Love Interest]].
Line 118:
* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: When the Triforce of Wisdom speaks, it always does so in rhyme, at least in theory. Sometimes the rhymes are a bit of a reach; for instance, "wise" and "advice." In "Cold Spells," Zelda responds with a sarcastic rhyme of her own.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Zelda qualifies when she actually helps out.
** Prince Facade is an adventurer, and is easily just as competent as Link as a fighter, even arguably superior in close combat despite having a crossbow as his chosen weapon. He's just too vain, and as such puts his looks above the lives of others.
* [[Scooby-Dooby Doors]]: In "Doppelganger".
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Link, while taking a bath in "The White Knight."
