* When Zelda kills [[EvilSorcerer Hektan]], he screams "YOU'VE KILLED ME!" before melting into a puddle. Her reaction? "Good.", with a smug [[PsychoticSmirk grin]] on her face as if not even remotely giving a damn. While the ComedicSociopathy and MoralDissonance are hilarious, the way that Zelda kills Hektan is still kinda unsettling in that the heart container inside of him is still ''beating'' after his death. Gives us some pretty interesting ideas involving what Zelda possibly might do to anybody, once someone pisses her off and pushes her buttons around for far too long. Not that Hektan isn't a tad unnerving in his own right, with his odd inflections.

** And it's not just his design. The whole battle with him is nightmare fuel. First, his disembodied head sends his generals after you in a row, then you reach a black background with lava, which is unnerving, especially in combination with the scary theme. And, above all else, if you fight him expecting a pushover like in the other two CD-I games, he will wreck you, as he can back up all the scary atmosphere with being actually difficult, even cheap.
