* AlternativeSelfNameChange: Each of the Links gets a name based on the dimension or time period they came from. The one who assigns the nicknames is Red from "Four Swords" who did the same thing in the manga adaptation of the same game.

* CloudCuckooLandersMinder: The other Links, especially Dusk, do this for Lore. On the villainous side, Twilight Ganondorf is reluctantly this to Zant, as he's just about the only one who can get him to shut up for five seconds (Majora can too, but [[ManOnFire its method]] mostly just replaces speaking with screaming) and can reliably interpret his babble.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: The sheer resemblance between most of the Links makes it pretty clear that they're all probably related somehow (Aryll sees them all as a whole clutch of new big brothers), but given the distance in time between them and timeline splits, it's not entirely clear how - for the most part. It's also occasionally implied that some of the Zeldas are related to some of the Links, too. As per canon, Ocarina/Mask is the ancestor of Dusk, though it's not clear if any of them has figured that out. On the other hand, on meeting [[spoiler: Aryll]], [[spoiler: Steam]] realises that she's his great-grandmother and that [[spoiler: Wind is therefore his great-great-uncle and, incidentally, the great-grandfather of his third cousin, his Zelda, by Tetra]].



* BlueBlood: Aside from the Zeldas and Midna, [[spoiler: Wind]] teases [[spoiler: Steam]] for this when the latter figures out how they're related ([[spoiler: Aryll is Steam's great-grandmother and Wind eventually marries Tetra and becomes great-grandfather to ST!Zelda]]), before the latter irately points out that he's a cousin of royalty on the ''not'' royal side.



* ConfusionFu: Lore, when he's in full flight, to the utter bafflement of both allies and enemies. It is entirely intentional.

to:

* ConfusionFu: Lore, when he's in full flight, to the utter bafflement of both allies and enemies. It is entirely intentional. The only one who isn't surprised is Dusk, because he's SeenItAll.



* HeroicLineage: Some of the Links and Zeldas are directly related to each other - [[spoiler: Wind is Steam's great-great uncle and great-grandfather of Steam's Zelda via Tetra, the two founding New Hyrule, something Steam figures out when he meets the 8 year old version of his great-grandmother Aryll, meaning that Steam's Zelda is his 3rd cousin]]. Meanwhile, as in canon, Ocarina and Mask are ancestor(s) of Dusk, though it's unclear whether they've realised it yet. More generally, it is also heavily implied that Gen and ''his'' Zelda found the royal family.



* LikeBrotherAndSister: Some of the Links and Zeldas share this dynamic, perhaps most prominently Steam and his Zelda - which makes more sense than most, since [[spoiler: on meeting Aryll and deducing his relationship to Wind, Steam realises that they're 3rd cousins]].



* NobleWolf: Dusk, naturally, in wolf form, though the other Links mostly just coo over how ''soft'' he is. He finds this halfway between bemusing and exasperating, but he's willing to turn into a giant fluffy wolf to comfort a badly disassociating Sketch.



* NoSenseOfDirection: ''Realm.'' He got stuck in a volcano from a library, wound up on the same island in a lake in his Hyrule three times while looking for Death Mountain, and found a random cavern with a cow. And he pulls [[TheNavigator Wind]] into it too.

And he pulls [[TheNavigator Wind]] into it too. Granted, part of it is aggravated by [[spoiler: his Wandering magic]], but it's made quite clear that his habit of getting lost is a ''him'' problem.



* ObfuscatingInsanity: The other Links ''think'' that Lore's pulling this, but they aren't entirely certain. The closest thing they can be sure of is that he's not ''quite'' as mad as he pretends to be.

-->'''Dusk''': You've figured out how to weaponise your personality. Of course you have.
* OfficialCouple: Dusk and TP!Zelda, with the former being a stuttering mess who is most certainly amenable and the latter cheerfully bullying her council of advisors into accepting her courtship of the Hero. Additionally, [[spoiler: Wind/Tetra]] is implicitly confirmed by [[spoiler: Steam]] realising that [[spoiler: Aryll, Wind's sister, is his great-grandmother and that ST!Zelda is therefore his 3rd Cousin]].

* HumanoidAbomination: Shadow. Given that he's made entirely of Shadow magic, his shape and appearance are largely a matter of personal choice, becoming positively eldritch when sufficiently angry. However, at baseline he ''does'' have to copy the hero, and spends a considerable amount of time as Dusk's double (Dusk has SeenItAll and is largely unfazed), before mimicking a rather aggrieved Gen, and finally taking the latter's suggestion to make a unique appearance from a mixture of the various Links' traits.



* MyBelovedSmother: Farore is a bit of this to her various Courage incarnations, but she takes it up several notches into something outright ''manic'' when she picks up on Shadow, cooing over the TokenEvilTeamMate like a lost kitten, and declaring that she will look after him... by getting the other Links to ''love him into submission''.

Added DiffLines:

* ResolvedNoodleIncident: Early in Chapter 9, a "Rain Incident" is mentioned as having happened to Sketch. Later on, it's revealed at one point, Sketch had gone into the rain to solve a puzzle...but because his paint is watercolor, it started running and caused all sorts of BodyHorror to Sketch, forcing him to de-merge and run for the nearest shelter until his body went back to normal. He's had a bad case of aquaphobia ever since.

** As is pointed out, while [[ButtMonkey Zant]] is completely nuts and treated as an utter joke by Demise and the other villains, he's got some extremely potent curse magic and serious magical stamina to lay it over the entirety of Hyrule. As Twilight Ganondorf notes, while getting him into an appropriate mindset for combat is difficult, it's generally worth it. However, as he also notes, Zant would be utterly terrifying if he was remotely practical. Which he isn't.
