* AngerBornOfWorry: The BigDamnReunion between Pit and Link in Chapter 9 becomes soured by Pit expressing this trope, courtesy of [[PoorCommunicationKills several miscommunications]] leading to him believing that Link had died during the multiversal disruption. When the two of them cross paths, Pit calls Link out on failing to notify him that he was alive after all, only to learn that Twilight (whom Link was working with) had ordered Link to keep quiet about his identity. Pit quickly drops his animosity, but it's implied that he's decided to save his fury for Twilight the next time they talk to each other.
