** This is likely a CallBack ([[AnachronicOrder or Call Forward)]] to a similar scene in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]], where Link had a similar reaction to a very similar statue doing a very similar thing. Just that in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]], Link went on to examine the statue closer in order to see if it's broken -- only to have it blow up in his face.
* When you start searching for Zelda in Faron Woods and come across a kikwi with her aura around it, answering "Zelda?" results in Fi giving an [[OverlyLongGag overly long analysis]] of the kikwi that confirms, [[IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect with 95% accuracy,]] that the kikwi is not, in fact, Zelda. You know you've said something stupid when your ''sword'' [[DeadpanSnarker starts snarking at you.]]

Once you have the seedling, you take it through the Gate of Time and plant it in an alcove in the Sealed Temple of the past. When Link comes back out of the Gate, he turns to the alcove and double-takes at the ''massive frickin' tree'' that is suddenly there.

* Much like in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', Link will be flung into the air and suffer a case of RumpRoast should he fall into lava. This wasn't too outlandish with Toon Link, but it's much funnier when the more realistic and serious adult Link has such a cartoonish reaction.

* One of the Gratitude Crystal sidequests also counts. It's a MythologyGag centered around one of the weirdest [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big Lipped Alligator Moments]] from MajorasMask. To wit: you discover somebody in the Knight's Academy's bathroom in the middle of the night, crying out for paper ("any paper!"). When you find paper, she lets you into the bathroom... to reveal that it's a [[spoiler:disembodied hand]] that appears from inside the toilet. The only thing that could make this better is the fact that the paper is actually a [[spoiler:love letter]]. It's truly a thing of wonder.

* The first Goron you've meet, Gorok the Goron, states that he has been researching an ancient civilization related to the bird statues, or, more specifically, the "Isle of the Goddess" (Skyloft). Ask him what he knows, and he'll go on that since it was created by the Goddess herself, it ''must'' be a paradise where everyone lives in harmony, the trees are full of fruit that can cure any disease, the fields are full of pumpkins that never rot, magical wildflowers bloom everywhere, and that the weather's always perfect. He says these things to Link who had just come from Skyloft. Better yet, he reacts with amazement once Link approaches the bird statue... which reacts the same way to Link as what any other bird statue would if he were to approach them.
