* Some of Ezlo's comments can be like this. For example, when joking about where the Minish would live in a library, (In stories) evidently Link gives a face and Ezlo says "You were one of THEM?!" [[Don'tExplainTheJoke "Them", as unbelievers.]]
--> '''Ezlo''': I sure hope you do now. You're wearing one!

* Going on a long quest to bring one of the Lokomos a massive, glittery vase... and then smashing it to pieces. His reaction is priceless, ''your'' reaction choices to ''his'' reaction are funny, and his reaction to both of those choices is downright hilarious.

* Although relies on the [[strike: over-abuse]] use of gameshark codes, transforming into Oni Link outside of the battle with Majora reveals he towers over very well near the entire population of Hylians. This, in itself, isn't nearly as amusing as what happens when you trigger certain actions and events as Oni Link that fail to compensate for how Oni towers over the other races you become. This leads to things like the Song of Soaring making Oni Link sprout ass wings before taking off, or [[strike: his legs disappearing into the floor]] him crouching just to walk into a door half his length.

* A lot of stuff that Marin does when she's following you. The well and statue photographs seen above come during this part, but you can also have fun taking her to the Trendy Game, where she asks you to buy her a turn. It's well worth the 10 rupees.

** His attempt to portray the children you saved is also hilarious, but pales before his antics at the cannon minigame on another island. Win there and he plays the role of a flirtatious young woman.

*** Aw, but you've forgotten the end of that scene- As the Tower of the Gods rises out of the sky, Link crashes right into it- splat!- and falls into the water. The [[ExpositionFairy King of Red Lions]] just talks at him like nothing's wrong and tells him to get going. Honestly, it's like they decided on the graphics style just for the slapstick and ending.

** The photographer falling off a bridge while trying to take your photo.

* The early scene in ''Wind Waker'' where the pirates reveal ''exactly'' how they plan to get Link into the Forbidden Fortress may well be one of the ''funniest'' things in the entire Zelda universe, bar none. Link needs to get inside, but the place is swarming with patrol boats. So what do they do? Stick Link in a barrel, put him on a catapult, and wish him "Bon voyage!" Seriously. The look(s) on Link's face during the countdown itself are ''priceless''--but the pure slapstick of him splatting into the wall on the other side once they launch him is pretty good too. (the only thing that's not funny is the [[UselessUsefulStealth stealth-due-to-lost-sword]] that follows)

* This troper now considers SpiritTracks to be the perfect parody of your typical Shonen Anime: After Link and Zelda defeat Byrne/Staven, who then insists that ThisCannotBe since they're just human, Zelda proceeds to give him the stereotypical "With ThePowerOfFriendship" speech, (worthy Tea from YuGiOhAbridged) followed by (I mean it!) BishieSparkle radiating from [[CuteShotaroBoy Link's]] smiling face. They proceed to giggle at each other, give each other High Five and everything seems lucky and merry and happy... until the music gets [[RecordNeedleScratch Record Needle Scratched]] and they [[DoubleTake realize]] that Byrne, who's not quite finished off yet, has been ignoring them and took the exit in the back.
* Zelda's boxing movements when saying that she wants to have words with Byrne after she gets her body back. Byrne's angry eye-open and glare off to the side only seal the moment.

* Twinrova's death scene.

to:

* Twinrova's death scene.For me, it's the bit in the Spirit Temple in ''Ocarina of Time'' when the miniboss battle with the huge Iron Knuckle is about to begin--a ''single chord'' of the [[{{Leitmotif}} miniboss battle music]] plays, at which point the Iron Knuckle realizes that ''it doesn't have its gigantic axe,'' so [[RecordNeedleScratch the music stops]], the Iron Knuckle snaps its fingers to summon the axe, and then the battle theme starts over and the sequence properly begins. It's just so out-of-character for the game that it slays me every time. It's like something out of LooneyTunes. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zIuiVop1L4 here]] (starting at approximately 0:46).

[[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength which knocks Link to the ground]]. After Link recovers, he decides to celebrate his and Link's new brotherhood by giving him two gifts. The first is the necessary PlotCoupon, the Goron's Ruby. The second? A Goron [[GroupHug Group Bear Hug]]. Cue Link running off screaming.

[[AC:Majora's Mask]]

** During the battle immediately preceding this argument, wearing the Captain's Hat. Or using the Bremen Mask.

** That scene is closely rivaled by the cutscene after Link places all three pearls of the goddesses. After placing the last pearl, the statue [[PreExplosionGlow begins radiating beams of light]]. Link naturally yells and dives for cover moments before the statue...does nothing. Cut to Link's bewildered reaction, after which he goes back to inspect the sta-KABOOM!

* When you get 30 points in Beedle's ship shop, you get the Complimentary ID. Show it to Beedle, and he... compliments you.
* In the Earth Temple (and before the Dragon Roost dungeon), throw Medli directly at a wall. [[CirclingBirdies Slapsticky]], yes, but effective, especially when you do it as explicit punishment for her awkward jumping controls.

[[AC:Twilight Princess]]
* Midna, the titular Twilight Princess, is a veritable vending machine full of these. It helps that she's the game's resident DeadpanSnarker, too. One quote in particular jumps to mind:
--->'''Midna:''' There isn't a nicer way to collect [the light bugs] than to burn someone's house down, is there? Oh well. I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
* Similar to in Link's Awakening:
--->'''Trill:''' Pay like you're supposed to next time, cheapskate.



[[AC:Phantom Hourglass]]
* Linebeck shaking Link until he can't even look straight anymore (repeatedly).
* Oshu's tendency to interrupt Link's trademark ItemGet pose, which doesn't just annoy, but also baffle him.
* Linebeck accidentally knocking over [[TakenForGranite Stone Tetra]] in the background, while Oshu's tells Link important plot details.
* Ciela essentially being Navi on speed with a huge portion short-temperedness on top. Paired with Linebeck's JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies, HilarityEnsues.
* Oh, and then there's this one weird bearded Link cosplayer, sailing around in something that looks uncomfortably much like the Kind of Red Lions... along other weird people you met in this game.
* The "TREASURE GET" Sting after Lineback shakes you is just priceless.
---> DA-NA-NA-[=DAWowowow=]~
** And for good measure, the "TREASURE GET" sting about a minute before that one, when you open the chest with the key only to find that it's been emptied already. The sting abruptly stops halfawy through, so we get:
---> DA-NA-NA-...da?
** And, if that still isn't enough messing with the "TREASURE GET" sting, there's the Rupoor variation:
---> DA-NA-NA-[=DOoOoo=]...

[[AC:Spirit Tracks]]
* An early scene sent this troper laughing, when we find out that the demon king intends to possess Zelda's body, she reacts with appropriate horror, and goes on a mini rant about of Link has to get her body back ''now'', while [[LampshadeHanging she waits her for him to get the job done. Family tradition, after all]]. But what really sells it is her eyes, deadly serous as she floats closer and closer to Link, and you just know that she would be shaking him by the shoulders if she could. One of the only few times where you can see Zelda with an angry face.
