The Legend of Zelda CDI Games: Difference between revisions

In the ''Faces of Evil'', Link had to travel to the island of Koridai to liberate it from Ganon's forces; the ''Wand of Gamelon'' featured Zelda traveling to Gamelon to save her father -- King Harkinian -- and Link.

 

* [[Achilles' Heel]]/[[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: The cause of the bosses being so [[Boss Dissonance|anticlimactic]] in the first two games.

{{quote|"Here's a shroud that scares the wraps off [[Mummy|Gibdo]]."}}

'''Ushrom:''' "Of course I'm on your side, but I still have to sell this stuff. Just pick what you want. I'll handle the rubies." }}

* [[Adipose Rex]]: Harkinian, no doubt from all the ''dinner''.

* [[Almost Kiss]]: The visuals near the end of ''Faces Of Evil'' suggest one of these between Link and Zelda. Of course, what those visuals actually intended to accomplish is [[Off-Model|unclear]].

* [[Amplifier Artifact]]: Doesn't seem to work, though.

* [[And I Must Scream]]: The woman in ''Faces of Evil'' who is frozen. When Link thaws her, she thanks him by giving him a drink of Water of Life -- then promptly ''freezes again''. And you can just keep rethawing (and refreezing) her whenever you want, all because the developers were too incompetent to make an unthawed field sprite.

:* Goronu threatens to do this to Link;

:* Ganon's fate in the end of ''Faces of Evil'' and ''Wand Of Gamelon'' is being trapped in a book for who knows how long.

* [[And That's Terrible]]

:* Needless to say, that old King is no match for Ganon, coupled with [[Et Tu, Brute?|Onkled's betrayal]].

* [[Bag of Holding]]

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: [[Hand Wave|Hand Waved]].

{{quote|'''Link:''' "Great, I'll grab my stuff!"

* [[The Chosen One]]:

{{quote|'''Gwonam:''' "It is written: Only Link can defeat Ganon."}}

* [[Crystal Ball]]:

{{quote|'''Impa:''' "The Triforce of Wisdom promises the King will safely return."}}

:* Wizzrobe = Goronu

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Glutko in ''Faces of Evil.'' Also:

* [[Face Heel Turn]]

{{quote|'''Fari:''' "Duke Onkled betrayed the King!"}}

* [[Milking the Giant Cow]]: The animated characters often engage in this (see above).

* [[Modest Royalty]]: Played straight with Zelda and The King, but averted with Duke Onkled.

* [[Moral Dissonance]]: This exchange from ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon'':

{{quote|'''Hectan''': "You've killed me!"

* [[NameTron]]: Militron.

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted quite often. They also say "kill" quite a few times. This was unusual for the series at the time as all Zelda materials before that had used that trope.

* [[Nice Hat]]: The King's retainer wears one in ''Wand of Gamelon''. It's practically a pimp hat.

* [[Nightmare Face]]: ...Or else you will ''die''!!!

:* In ''Faces of Evil'', you fight every boss twice, except for Lupay and Ganon.

* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: Link's obsession with getting a kiss from Zelda, and the portrayal of the King of Hyrule as a maniacal fat man and having the name "Harkinian", suggest that the developers had the cartoon in mind rather than the games.

* [[Robe and Wizard Hat|Robe And Turban]]: Gwonam.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: The King and Zelda. Duke Onkled does absolutely nothing though.
