The Legend of Zelda CDI Games: Difference between revisions

 

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: Everyone. Just... Everyone...

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

* [[Action Girl]]: Zelda in ''Wand of Gamelon'' AND ''Zelda's Adventure''. Lampshaded in ''Wand of Gamelon''.

'''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''.

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

{{quote| '''King Harkinian:''' "I'll take the Triforce of Courage to protect me."}}

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: In ''Wand of Gamelon''...

{{quote| '''Link:''' "That old Ganon is no match for the King!"}}

* [[Bag of Holding]]

{{quote| '''Link:''' "Good thing I have my magic pouch. I can carry '''[[Hyperspace Arsenal|everything!]]'''"<br />

** A curious subversion is the first fight with Militron in ''Faces of Evil''. You dare face him without a Power Sword on full health? FEEL THE FIRE OF WAR! And start that battle-screen again, avoiding the mooks who try to hurt your hearts, thus disabling shooting ability.

* [[Boss Rush]]: In ''Zelda's Adventure''.

* [[Canon Dis Continuity]]: Nintendo officially pretends these games never existed. ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' advertised ''[[The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks (Video Game)|Spirit Tracks]]'' as the first time Zelda actually joins the adventure instead of waiting in the background to be rescued. Zelda was the ''player character'' in two of these games. Also, they don't appear part of the intricate timeline of the ''[[All There in the Manual|Hyrule Historia]]'' artbook.

* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Everyone except Ganon, Link, Zelda and Impa, and the King, who comes from the [[The Legend of Zelda (Comic Book)|comics]] and [[The Legend of Zelda (Animation)|TV series]].

* [[The Dragon]]: Hectan, and a case can be made for Duke Onkled.

* [[Everybody Laughs Ending]]: ''Wand of Gamelon''.

* [[Expy]]: Philips manages to takes this to ridiculous levels by having expies of some of the bosses in ''Faces of Evil'' appear under different names in ''Wand Of Gamelon'':

** Iron Knuckle = Militron

* [[Face Heel Turn]]

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

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Alma. She tries to stand up to Wizzrobe but fails miserably.

* [[Feed It a Bomb]]: Dodongos.

* [[Gross Up Close Up]]: People have noticed that this is a very common -- and usually unnecessary -- idiosyncrasy of the cutscenes.

* [[He Knows About Timed Hits]]:

* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: The sword seems to have a much shorter range than its usual range.

* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: Link is "so hungry, [he] can eat an Octorok!"

* [[If I Do Not Return]]:

{{quote| '''King Harkinian:''' "If you don't hear from me in a month, send Link!"}}

{{quote| '''Ganon:''' "You will '''DIE!'''"}}

* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]:

* [[I'm Melting]]

{{quote| '''Hectan:''' "You've killed me!!!"<br />

* [[Informed Ability]]:

{{quote| '''Link:''' "''That old Ganon's no match for the King!''"}}

'''Zelda''': You've GOT to be kidding. }}

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Gwonam in ''Faces of Evil'', who shows up in every level to invite Link to "look and see" what the [[Monster of the Week]] is doing this time, and Impa in ''Wand of Gamelon''. Gaspra, the old man who sends Zelda on her quest in ''Zelda's Adventure'', also counts.

* [[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.

{{quote| '''Ganon''': "[[We Can Rule Together|Join me, Link, and I will make your face the greatest in Koridai]]... or else you will ''die''!"<br />

'''Lupay''': "[[Captain Obvious|I spy with my eye someone who must die!]]"<br />

'''Iron Knuckle''': "You dare defy me?! You will die!"<br />

'''George the Baker''': "The arpagos will die for them!"<br />

'''Hectan''': "You've killed me!" }}

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

* [[The Nineties]]: Most apparent in the music, from the synth quality to the style. Much more than was apparent in the canonical games.

{{quote| '''Link:''' "How about a kiss, for luck?"<br />

'''Zelda:''' "You've got to be kidding." }}

** Almost averted by the end of ''Faces of Evil,'' when Link awakes the sleeping Zelda and they lean in for a kiss, but they get interrupted by Gwonam.

* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]:

{{quote| '''Ganon:''' "Join me, Link! And I will make your face the grrreatest in Koridai! Or else you will ''die''!"}}

{{quote| '''Morshu:''' Mmmmmm...richer.<br />

'''Mayor Kravindish:''' This is illegal you know. }}

* [[Power Fist]]:

{{quote| "''[[Rhymes On a Dime|Stir the berries in the tub. Let the juices soak the glove. Let Link fight and never cower, for his glove's a glove of power.]]''"}}

{{quote| '''Iron Knuckle:''' "You dare defy me?! You will die!"<br />

'''Zelda:''' "Guess again, Iron Knuckle!" }}

{{quote| '''King Harkinian:''' "Zelda, Duke Onkled is under attack by the evil forces of Ganon. I'm going to Gamelon to aid him"<br />

'''King Harkinian:''' "How can we help?" }}

* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: ''Zelda's Adventure'' takes place in the [[Sarcasm Mode|totally originally-named]] land of Tolemac. There's also Morshu and Ushrom.

* [[Some Dexterity Required]]: Controls in this game when to use items etc. are very complex, due to the controller only having two buttons, far too little for a game like this.

* [[Teleport Spam]]:

{{quote| '''Hectan:''' "''Am I here? Or here? Or here?''"}}

{{quote| '''Goronu:''' "''You can't kill me! No! No! No!''"}}

* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: Link's method of defeating Ganon in ''Faces of Evil.''

{{quote| "YOU LOSE!"<br />

'''Harlequin:''' "Do you know what it means when you lose your last [[Did Not Do the Research|RUBY]]? Now you work for ''me''!" }}

* [[The Voice]]: In ''Zelda's Adventure'', sometimes you will hear a voice that provides you with gameplay hints.

* [[We Can Rule Together]]

* [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me]]
