'''''[[SuperheroSobriquets The Hero of the Essence.]]'''''

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Labrynna Maku Tree as a little sprout. Bubbly, often making CatSmile faces, and cheering on Link as he slays her Moblin assassins.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one is ever surprised to see Link riding through town in a kangaroo’s pouch or astride a large bear. Doubly so for a Dodongo, which are typically encountered as ferocious enemies.

* ContinuityNod: She bears a certain resemblance to [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Marin]], whom Link mistook for her upon their meeting. The two of them even share the same in-game sprite, minus Zelda's crown.

* HeroesWantRedHeads: In addition to Zelda, who's a strawberry blonde this time and gives Link a SmoochOfVictory for saving her, the manual for ''Seasons'' suggests an attraction to Din, the redheaded Oracle of Seasons. The manga adaptation outright confirms it.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's still the princess with IncorruptiblePurePureness we know and love. [[HairColorDissonance More of a]] [[HeroesWantRedheads strawberry blonde]] this time around, though.
* HeroesWantRedheads: She's got reddish hair in this incarnation, and the hearts that erupt from Link after her SmoochOfVictory would suggest that this is the case.

* {{Catchphrase}}: In ''Seasons'', she urges Link to “Go with caution!” each time she directs him toward a new dungeon.

An obnoxious young man first seen as Nayru's bodyguard. When the Oracle is kidnapped by Veran, he goes tearing off after them, [[CatchPhrase screaming for Nayru]]. He occasionally shows up to give Link hints, usually nagging him for stopping to help others instead of rescuing Nayru.

* CatchPhrase: "[[RunningGag NAYRU!!!]]"

* CatchPhrase: "Kooloo-Limpah!"

* SpottingTheThread: In a rare case of the audience being clued into Link's thought process, Ralph informs him of a secret passage in Queen Ambi's palace, to which Link asks [[INeverSaidItWasPoison how Ralph knows about it if he's never been there before]]. As it turns out, [[spoiler:Ralph is actually Ambi's descendant, and thus knows the royal family's secrets.

* JapanesePronouns: In the Japanese version, she uses "atashi", usually with a "kono" before it to make her seem more egotistical.

* SmugSnake: Veran has a highly inflated ego for a mere lackey of Twinrova's. Heavily overlaps with VainSorceress -- when she goes OneWingedAngel and assumes one of three insectoid forms, she vows to make Link pay for the "humiliation" of forcing her to reveal this shape with her life.

* PuzzleBoss: Head Thwomp is constantly rotating, and doesn't attack on its own. To defeat it, Link must wait for a specific face to come to the front and then toss a bomb in its hollow top. Head Thwomp will then slow to a stop and perform an action. If the red face was chosen, it takes damage and drops a healing item. Moreover, if another face was chosen, it takes no damage and performs an attack, from the following: the angry green face fires raining Podoboos on Link from its hollow top as it usually would when it spins, the SlasherSmile blue face fires spinning fireballs from said hollow top around the rotating platforms Link has to use to reach him, and the angry purple face performs a ground pound like an ordinary Thwomp and crushes Link (if he is underneath it) and causes rocks to fall from the ceiling that could also crush him.

Two bull monsters wielding boomerangs that Link must fight in Unicorn's Cave.

A pair of ghostly sisters fought throughout the Explorer's crypt. They are Margaret, who carries a lantern and leaves a trail of fire behind herself as she flies, and Amy, who uses a sword.

* {{Bishonen}}: Apparently androgynous enough to give at least one NPC ViewerGenderConfusion.
--> "I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman! It was scary!"

* ShoutOut: The battle with his OneWingedAngel form is remarkably similar to Sigma's final form in the [[VideoGame/MegaManX1 first]] ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' game -- he floats in the background and snaps his claws down at you, you ride them up high enough to strike the gem on his head. The game was developed by Creator/{{Capcom}}, so it's not surprising they'd throw in some kind of reference such as this.

* FlunkyBoss: While possessing Ambi she can summon giant purple bugs. The second stage of the last battle with her brings in classic [[EvilKnockoff Dark Links]] [[FearfulSymmetry that mimic your movement]].

* AdaptationalWimp: He was never particularly tough in the game, but he at least stood his ground and fought Link. In the manga, he simply serves as a scout.

The Great Moblin is the ruler of the moblins and of their fortress in each game. When the games are played separately, he has a fairly straightforward story: in Labrynna he's blocking the way to the Bomb Flowers to make people pay for his own hand-made bombs, while in Holodrum he rules a more fortified keep and fires his cannons at anyone who comes near and, after being defeated, retreats to a shack in the Sunken City to make more bombs to sell and restore his funds.\\

* KingMook: He's a powerful, miniboss Moblin who rules over all the moblins in the land.

* PigMan: Like the other moblins, he resembles a giant, monstrous humanoid pig.

* {{Cyclops}}: It has a single giant eye dominating its head.
* MookMaker: It spawns groups of smaller moths to push Link around.

* {{Oculothorax}}: It has a single, massive eye that makes up the majority of its central body.

* MookMaker: It spawns large numbers of larval Gohmas during its fight to swarm and distract Link.

* AsteroidsMonster: To defeat it, Link must smash it with an iron ball until it splits into several smaller copies of itself and then chase and destroy each one individually.

* ShoutOut: Its design is updated to closely resemble a ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' Piranha Plant, referencing the original game's manual describing it as one.

!!Facade
A living face inscribed on the floor of its room, who attacks by creating pits in the floor and sending swarms of bugs after Link. Facade is fought in the Snake's Remains, and later in Onox's Tower.

* FlunkyBoss: It can attack by summoning large swarms of beetles.

A giant octorok with an invulnerable shell, fought in the Mermaid's Cave. Defeating it will award Link with the sixth Essence of Time, the Lonely Peak.

!!Subterror
[[quoteright:144:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ooa_subterror.png]]

The miniboss of the Moonlit Grotto.

* DrillMole: It's a mole-like creature with a drill for a nose.
* MoleMonster: It chases Link around its room while burrowing in the ground, and attacks with its drill when it's directly under Link. It cannot be harmed while in this state, so Link must use the shovel to dig it up and expose it to attack.
* WormSign: While burrowing, it creates a small raised bump that marks its position.

!!Armos Warrior
[[quoteright:162:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ooa_armos_warrior.png]]

The miniboss of the Skull Dungeon.

* CastingAShadow: She can turn herself into a shadow and back.
