* IKnewIt: In the August 7, 2013 Nintendo Direct video, Satoru Iwata confirmed the existence of the Dark Triforce fans had been speculating about since first seeing the logo.

** [[spoiler:Hilda is indeed the BigBad, though she also has a HeelFaceTurn at the end.]]

* DummiedOut: The similarities this game shares with its SNES predecessor are made even more apparent by the cut content. Several early models of areas exist within the game's files, all with similar layouts to the final game, but using SNES textures as placeholders.

** There was a debate amongst the team whatever to use the classic design or Toon Link like the previous [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap portable]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass 2D]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks games]]. They ultimately opted for the Classic Link design as the team felt it would fit the game better given it's designed to be a sequel to ''A Link to the Past''.

* AscendedGlitch: The Ghost of the Misery Mire from the original SNES version of Link to the Past returns, now as full-bodied shallow water Kus.
* CheatedAngle: In order to emulate ''A Link to the Past'''s art style in 3D, namely the lack of perspective and characters being fully depicted from the side despite being seen from above, typical for most 2D top-down games, all assets in the game are actually tilted away from the camera. Since the camera always pans at the same angle, this trick is barely noticeable and surprisingly effective, as demonstrated [[http://nintendoenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/link-between-worlds-tilted.jpg here]]. Interestingly, you can actually notice it if you wall-merge next to certain objects or set pieces, but it's only really noticeable if you're looking for it.



* ModelDissonance: Every single 3D model is [[http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-shows-its-trick-for-zelda-a-link-between-worlds-top-down-view/ made to lean backwards]] in order to mimic the effect of the IsometricProjection in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast''.

*** It gets a bit more confusing with the reveal of the next game, ''Tri Force Heroes'', which uses this game's models for Link but gives him Toon Link's facial features; yet the official artwork clearly depicts Toon Link, not this game's Link.
