* DarkestHour: Quite literally the name of the chapter when Castletown burns to the ground, in which Link nearly loses the will to keep going after [[spoiler: he stumbles upon the body of a murdered child.]] He begs to go home and for the suffering to end but Navi manages to save him from giving up, just barely.

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Volvalgia attacks Ganondorf in a fierce rage in order to save Link. [[spoiler: Though Link escapes, Volvalgia finds that his attacks are not able to damage him and he finds himself tortured until Ganondorf controls his mind, turning him into a vessel for his destruction.]]

* AllYourBaseBelongToUs: [[spoiler: Ganondorf leads an army to attack Castletown by transporting his forces through a secret portal underneath Hyrule Castle. His army then exterminates most of Hyrule's royalty and many nobles. As Hyrule Castle falls, the armies then attack Castletown and sack it.]]

->'''Ruto''': ''"What? Of course he isn't stupid!"''

** It's implied that the friendly wolves in Kokiri Forest would attack intruders should they attempt to make their way into the woods as they serve as forest wards.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: The giant dodongo received a horrific wound on one of its eyes from its battle with Volvagia. Later at the Shadow Temple, Link loses an eye from a possessed Halvard.

* CreepyCemetary: Played straight with the graveyard at Kakariko Village. This place reeks of shadow magic and an ominous atmosphere, especially as it is near the Shadow Temple. After the seven year time skip, this graveyard goes from unsettling to terrifying.

** Regarding the Sheikah warriors there is Impa, who is a skilled mage and combatant. [[spoiler: Later, when Impa ends up blinded, she still manages to retain the title of Shadow Sage and is able to fight Ganondorf along with the other sages.]] After the seven year time skip, Sheik is revealed to be a strong mage who can hold her own in combat along with her mentor Rin [[spoiler: who is revealed to be Impa in disguise.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: Link's origins and upbringing with the Kokiri are explored far more than in the game. [[spoiler: He had family that tied back to the royal circle of Hyrule, making him nobility, and is actually Zelda's secret cousin.]] His inner thoughts are also given focus as his perspective is that of the protagonist, one who is capable of speaking freely.
* AmazonBrigade: Explored with the Gerudo, who are a predominantly female race that rely on mixing with other societies to find males. True Gerudo males are only born every 100 years; in the distant past a curse was afflicted on them that prevented the Gerudo from having many male offspring as any males born often die at childbirth. Inevitably, it is explained that this would result in the Gerudo race dying out in the future. [[spoiler: Fortunately, after Link triumphs over Ganondorf the curse is finally broken and the Gerudo are able to have male offspring without complication.]]

* InnSecurity: Played with and deconstructed. Inns such as the Silver Mare and the Dancing Goron are refuges for Link and Navi to temporarily recover their strength and energy. Conflict only occurs after they leave the inns and not inside as the inns themselves are safe havens. Furthermore, after the seven year time skip, the only inn Link returns to is a makeshift hospital that is a place for others to heal including himself.
** However, if Lon Lon Ranch is considered a type of resting place akin to an inn this conflict does occur as a Gerudo raids the ranch to steal the Kokiri Emerald in the night, ironically when he is outside of all places.

* IndyHatRoll: When escaping from a trap set in the Spirit Temple, Link manages to slip under a closing door, barely retrieving his hat before the door collapses.
