History Narm / TheLegendOfZelda

** Ghirahim is too fabulous to take seriously.

*** Even worse: ''it falls over if it doesn't have toes.'' Any fans of LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} will have an absolute field day with this boss.[[note]]There was a RunningGag in his ''Majora's Mask'' Let's Play where he kept on chopping off the bosses' toes.[[/note]] And just wait until it grows its hilariously oversized arms with similar balloon-like "fingers".

** Also in ''Skyward Sword'', Tentalus' introduction after a [[NightmareFuel rather scary moment]] of the Sandship being torn to pieces with you inside; you'd be expecting some sort of badass-looking kraken, but instead you get a chubby looking cyclops with no hands and tentacles for hair that would look right at home in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''.

*** Dude, she heard you were reading a book in the dark, and thought it would help. ''Chill!''
** Not to mention, "You've killed meeeeeee!" "Good!" So Narmy it forced a HeroicBSOD on ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''.
** "Join me, Link, and I will make you a face[[note]][[{{Mondegreen}} heard as "Your face"]][[/note]] the grrrrrrrreatest in Koridai... or else you will DIE!"
** Ganon's WeCanRuleTogether speech loses what menace it had immediately afterwards when he lunges at the camera while making what is probably [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ganon_die.jpg the single most narmish face in the entire game]]. It seems to have been intentionally drawn as ridiculously as possible.

* In ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'', when you get a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2VnS8mwW-g Game Over]], Ganon's EvilLaugh sounds more silly than intimidating.

*** This troper would also appreciate any footage anyone has of having done the same wearing the Hover Boots, given their slippery animation...

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' has the cutscene of Ganon's Castle collapsing into the ground. It looks less like it's breaking down and more like a toy castle that's sinking into the ground, looking nothing like destruction. The castle looks like it's just folding over, and can be likened to a penis going flaccid.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', if you steal from the shop, you will permanantly get renamed "THIEF", which utterly ruins the serious scenes like the date with Marin or the ending.

*** [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation CURSE YOU... FUCK ME!!!]]
*** Alternatively: CURSE YOU... [[StockBritishPhrases I SAY]]!!!

[[caption-width-right:350:The King of Evil, ladies and gentlemen! He can take over an entire kingdom, but empty bottles and fishing rods are his true undoing!]]

** Volga the DragonKnight becomes a bit harder to take seriously when his voice actor actually yells "ROOOAR!" out loud.

*** Even worse: ''it falls over if it doesn't have toes.'' And just wait until it grows its hilariously oversized arms.

** Ganon's WeCanRuleTogether speech loses what menace it had immediately afterwards when he lunges at the camera while making what is probably the single most narmish face in the entire game. It seems to have been intentionally drawn as ridiculously as possible.

*** Ganondorf's last bit of the text:

*** Sheik getting tossed around like a rag doll in the scene where Kakariko is on fire. It's otherwise a very serious part of the game, but that animation just looks ''ridiculous''.

** Also in ''Skyward Sword'', Tentalus' introduction after a [[NightmareFuel rather scary moment]] of the Sandship being torn to pieces with you inside; you'd be expecting some sort of badass-looking kraken, but instead you get a chubby looking cyclops with no hands and tentacles for hair.

* ''VideoGame/LegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Unlike most games, in BOTW you can equip Link with a variety of different outfits and pieces of armor. Needless to say, some of the cutscenes are hard to take seriously if Link is standing there wearing nothing but his underwear and a monster mask.

* This goes all the way back to the original Famicom Disk System version of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI''. As seen on [[http://legendsoflocalization.com/the-legend-of-zelda/audio/ this comparison page]], most of the sound effects in the Japanese version starting with "Sword Shooting" sound rather goofy in comparison to the NES versions.

** Dude, she heard you were reading a book in the dark, and thought it would help. ''Chill!''

* Even ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'', despite the humor relying heavily on slapstick anyway, managed to have a short narm scene in the final boss battle, when Ganondorf attacks Tetra. Upon seeing it, Link snaps into a weird, somewhat angry-ish, facial expression for a split second... It's obviously meant to look {{badass}} because now ItsPersonal, but ended up looking more like Ganondorf just trashed Link's Treehome or something, not like he smacked one of his best friends brutally to the ground.

** Also in ''Skyward Sword'', Tentalus' introduction after a [[NightmareFuel rather scary moment]] of the Sandship being torn to pieces with you inside; you'd be expecting some sort of {{badass}}-looking kraken, but you get... [[http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/a/ab/Tantulus.png this]].

** The anguished scream [[spoiler:Ganondorf]] lets out after receiving the CoupDeGrace is rendered unintentionally funny by the closeup on his [[spoiler:his]] ridiculous, wide-open "Muppet" mouth.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', if you steal from the shop, you will permanantly get renamed "THIEF" wich utterly ruins the serious scenes like the date with Marin or the ending.

* In an effort to punctuate the [[HijackedByGanon totally unsurprising fact]] that he is, [[TheManBehindTheMan in fact]], TheDragon, and not the BigBad: [[spoiler: Zant, the Twilight King of]] ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' shifts from his excellent creepiness of all previous scenes to [[spoiler: ''jumping around and clucking like a chicken'' during his boss fight]].

** Several minor scenes suffer from poor animation or unrealistic movements (such as the bizarre way Zelda's sword fell, or the utterly silly stumbling animation of the boss in the Goron Mines.)
