* AllJustADream: The game '''looks''' like it pulls this in the ending cutscene, only to have Link [[FantasyKeepsake pull out one of the artifacts he found]], and then see one of the characters he met. Judging from the dialogue near the end of the game, as well as ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'' featuring descendants of characters that appear in the predecessor, it's more likely a parallel universe.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: In ''The Wind Waker'', Ganondorf, after breaking free from the seal that contained him, had started to outgrow his original evil nature and become a more complex figure who wanted the Triforce to restore Hyrule despite still wanting to control it. In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'', Bellum was a mindless beast who was trying to break free from its own seal and only seemed interested in consuming life force. Also unlike Ganondorf, Link does not know of Bellum's existence until midway in the game. Even their signature hideouts fit this. The island-based Forsaken Fortress was designed by Ganondorf to repel any intruders, and he [[KnowWhenToFoldEm abandons it]] partway through the game. Bellum's Ghost Ship is mobile and lasts the entire game, and it was designed to use rumors of treasure to lure people in to have their life force drained.

Added DiffLines:
* LostInTranslation: The game contains an island called [[ConsoleCameo Dee Ess Island]], which as the name suggests, looks exactly like a UsefulNotes/NintendoDS. However, the French name for the island translate to "Island of Ess(es)". This is because in French, the word "de" means "of", and apparently, "Dee" was translated as "de". This means that the island's name's pun is lost on the French. The name is correctly translated in the New World versions of French, perhaps because Nintendo of America handles translations for all of North America. Italian belongs to the same language family as French, but the name was translated properly in that language, making a clever pun ("Diesse" sounds both like "DS" and "di Esse", "of Ess" in Italian).

There are several, and there is no way to tell how many there are left ([[GuideDangIt and that some of them won't appear at all until you have completed the Sea Chart]]).

* PivotalBoss: Eox's first phase, where Link must use the catapults around the arena to fly into the air and hit the golem's weakpoints. Bellum's first phase has Link climbing up a spiraling staircase bordering the pool of water where it resides. The second phase is a partial example, as the heroes try to hit the Ghost Ship's "eyes" on both sides, but the S.S. Linebeck doesn't get to fully surround it, instead in a semi-circle.
* PlaceOfProtection: The safe zones in the Temple of the Ocean King. Phantoms can't see or enter them, and time doesn't drain from the Phantom Hourglass when Link is in one.
* PlayerDeathIsDramatic: In relation to previous games, ''Phantom Hourglass'' changes it up by having the camera pull out after Link collapses and then it fades to black.
* PlayerGuidedMissile: While the Boomerang or a Bombchu is in use, the player can sketch out a custom flight path with the stylus, though they have no control over them during their motion.
* PlayEveryDay: There's a random selection of ship parts in shops, sidequests and a long central dungeon, reshuffled daily. You can completely ignore it if you simply want to finish the game, but if you want to collect one of each ship parts...

* PoisonMushroom: The game features "Rupoors", which ''directly'' reduce the number of Rupees Link is currently carrying when found. A minor key version of the series' trademark ItemGet fanfare plays when a Rupoor was found, complete with Link holding the item above his head but looking none too pleased about it. One area in the game consists of a maze with Rupoors for walls, requiring Link to walk carefully to avoid them. And to make it more difficult, Keese are flying around the area -- and half of your projectile weapons pick up Rupoors.
* PuzzleReset: The game's resident MegaDungeon, the Temple of the Ocean King, must be revisited over and over. Each time, all previously-solved puzzles have reset themselves and must be redone in order to advance farther down in the dungeon. For extra difficulty, visiting the dungeon is always a TimedMission.
* QuicksandSucks: Zig-zagged. The game averts the trope in both the desert-themed Isle of Gust and its dungeon the sandy Temple of Wind (the actual threat is the wind currents and geysers, sand is harmless otherwise); but it's played straight in the Goron Temple, where '''all''' sand is deadly for Link (luckily, his Bombchus can navigate through them just fine).
* RealTimeWeaponChange: The game utilizes the touchscreen by having all the items in the lower left corner ready for use with a quick tap. The small number of items in the game compared to other ''Zelda'' games is actually more conducive for this. ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'', despite using the same engine and mechanics of its predecessor, averts this trope as the item inventory does pause everything when it's opened.
* RedundantResearcher: Linebeck makes an interesting twist on this trope, being a character who very much wants to discover the secrets of the local Temple but has done very little to actually work for it. Other characters, however, do make a considerable effort to uncover the Temple's secrets, as evidenced by the large number of corpses inside. Linebeck also fails to carry a sword, let alone the legendary artifact that actually allows people to survive the temple. Even so, he still does more to assist Link on his quest than almost any other character in the game. Not that this stops the ExpositionFairy from teasing him for [[MilesGloriosus his bragging and cowardice]].
* RewardingInactivity: There's this section in the Temple of the Ocean King where you have to close the DS to put the location of an important key on your map. The instructions are very unclear, however, leading many players to [[GuideDangIt close the DS and give up]]. When they opened the DS again, the mark is now on the map!
* RoamingEnemy: There is a female pirate named Jolene who randomly appears on various maps as type 2 and patrols them as type 3. If she sees you have to escape or fight her off if she boards your boat.

* ShiftingSandLand: The Isle of Gust and two desert-themed dungeons: Temple of Wind and Goron Temple. The Isle of Gust and Temple of Wind are sandy locations with numerous wind currents emerging from the floor; Link can use his shovel to dig through sand to look for Rupees and hearts, and take advantage of the wind gusts to place bombs into high targets he wouldn't be able to blast otherwise. The Goron Temple, on the other hand, is filled with ''quicksand'', so Link cannot walk through them; he instead has to use the Bombchus to guide them up to beyond the quicksand to activate distant switches.
* ShipLevel: There are several small boats Link can board, as well as Jolene's Ship and the GhostShip. Each of the small boats is located in a quadrant of the World of the Ocean King, and there's a late-game ChainOfDeals sidequest involving the characters who respectively pilot them. Jolene's Ship is a BossOnlyLevel, as all you do when you're ambushed by it is to defeat Jolene in a MiniBoss fight (always on Linebeck's behalf). The Ghost Ship is a proper dungeon, and in it you're searching for Tetra while dealing with the haunting enemies that roam it (the Reaplings).

* TutorialFailure: The game tells you to "draw little circles at the edge of a screen" to perform a roll. This is before the sword tutorial, which explains that a bigger circle ''anywhere'' on the screen will make Link spin with his sword out. In reality, the rolling technique is more like making a wiggling motion at the edge of the screen--an average player trying to draw circles will just make Link flail around with his sword.

You even get to visit the very last floor before the game's climax (in fact, you have to do it in order to unlock the last quadrant of the World of the Ocean King, as it's there where the last regular dungeon lies). The catch is that the large door located there can only be opened when you manage to defeat all Phantoms in the area, for which you must have forged the Phantom Sword with the [[PlotCoupon Pure Metals]] guarded in their temples. Beyond the door is the area where the FinalBoss (Bellum) awaits, but you only fight it there in the first two phases, as the other two take place in the overworld.

After a moment, Ciela realizes he's finally [[SayMyName used her name]].
Added DiffLines:
* {{Metroidvania}}: The Temple of the Ocean King is a huge dungeon which contains maps and keys to access the other smaller and self-contained dungeons, which in turn hold the items and keys needed to progress further into the temple (and make previous sections simpler and quicker to pass through), while the overworld holds sands for the hourglass which allow you to explore for longer periods of time before having to turn back. Both the sands and the items from each smaller dungeon are needed to safely and successfully navigate the massive dungeon.
* MineralMacGuffin: The Pure Metals, which are necessary to imbue, onto Link's sword, the power that will help him triumph against Bellum.
* MiniBoss: The game features an odd approach, as its few mini-bosses (Jolene, a bigger-than-usual Eye Plant, a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere near Goron Island and [[spoiler:a group of Phantoms in the Temple of the Ocean King]]) are all fought in the overworld except the latter one; the normal dungeons avert this trope, opting instead for regular enemy ambushes in certain rooms.

* MomentKiller: Tetra finally gets better from being TakenForGranite, and Link and Tetra look one another in the eyes. Smiling, they reach their hands out to one another in slow-motion, and just as they're about to touch, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Bellum]] bursts through the ceiling and steals Tetra away]].
* MookThemedLevel: The Temple of the Ocean King is strongly patrolled by Phantoms, and much of the dungeon's gameplay has to be done while hiding from these dangerous enemies, as well as running away from them when Link is spotted.
* MoonLogicPuzzle: There is a puzzle in the Temple of the Ocean King where you have to stamp your map with a mark to find the next spirit. The stamp is on the touch screen, your map on the top screen. How do you mark your map with the stamp? Close the DS so the stamp is "pressed" into your map. This still makes some clever sense if you're playing on a 3DS, but will prove impossible to figure out to anyone playing the game for the first time on any console that doesn't have a clamshell design; playing on other consoles like the 2DS or Wii U require the player to enter sleep mode or back out into the home menu.
* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: The Cubus Sisters are constantly giggling and sabotaging your efforts to rescue 'them', but since it's a ButThouMust situation you can't just leave the little brats to rot. When they're all reunited, they drop the masquerade and challenge Link to a boss battle.
* MusicalSpoiler: The easy way to tell if you're being chased by the Phantoms in Temple of the Ocean King (other than the giant "I HAVE YOU NOW" or whatever across the bottom of the screen) is by listening to the music changes. When the ominous music goes away, you know they've stopped chasing you.

* NoFairCheating: You can play a minigame where you dig for treasures. However, you are told to stop digging and leave the minigame area after you have obtained ten treasures. If you choose to ignore this and attempt to dig up an 11th treasure, you'll be given a warning. Attempting to dig up another one will result in a 100-Rupee fine, and yet another one will have all of your Rupees taken away. If you [[ShmuckBait continue to dig for more treasure after you're broke]], you'll be [[FourIsDeath banned]] from the minigame. How do you get unbanned? By apologizing and paying a 300-Rupee reinitiation fee.
* NonNaturalNumberGag: You can find [[PoisonMushroom Rupoors]] instead of Rupees in some treasure chests. As their name implies, they have a ''negative'' cash value. And yes, if Link opens a chest, he will always take the Rupoor if there's one inside.
* NoobCave: There is a cave that precedes the entrance to the Temple of the Ocean King. The early rooms of these dungeons themselves count as well.

* HundredPercentCompletion: The ship parts, which are obtained through random loot renewed daily. Some of these are at the very bottom of the Temple of the Ocean King, meaning you'll visit the dungeon time and again, every day, if you want to completely fill your collection.

As part of a JustifiedTutorial about the touchscreen, you're asked to sign for a parcel. Much later on, this signature reappears unexpectedly.
* AirAidedAcrobatics: Some wind geysers can be used to reach high places, and bombs can even be used in conjunction with them to blow up obstacles that are place too high. The areas you're jumping from/to are narrow enough that overshooting is ludicrously common.

* AnimalJingoism: The Ocean King, who resembles a whale, is tormented by the evil creature Bellum, a demonic squid.
* AnimatedArmor: The game has the central dungeon being patrolled by suits of armor called Phantoms, who are completely invincible (at least, until you get the Phantom Sword). If one of these scores a hit on you, you lose a full heart, 30 seconds off of the titular hourglass, and are sent back to the start of the floor. They come in three flavors: regular (blue), fast (red), and teleporting (gold).

Link finds the mermaid, who's excited by the prospect and seeks out the Old Wayfarer and can later be visited in the pool. [[spoiler:She's not really a mermaid, just a human who likes to dress up as one.]]
* BigBulkyBomb: There are floating barrels of boom scattered all around the Great Sea. You don't see them as anything much- just another obstacle to be blasted out of the way. Until one day you stop right alongside one and realize it's ''6 times as tall as Link''.
* BladeLock: The lock is won by scrabbling the stylus over the screen rapidly. Against a recurring MiniBoss, it's the best way to win, and it's also needed to stun the final boss.
* BlingBlingBang: The golden cannon you can get as part of the golden boat set.
* BossRemix: The maritime battle against the Bellum-possessed Ghost Ship is accompanied by a sinister remix of the overworld music. There's also a remix of [[spoiler:Linebeck's theme]] for the final battle, with snippets of Bellum's Theme mixed in to emphasise [[spoiler:the former's possession by the latter]].
* BossSubtitles: The game mixes things up by putting the subtitles ''after'' the boss's name (eg., "Blaaz, Master of Fire"), which is continued in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks''.

* ChainOfDeals: There's one that spans through all four quadrants of the World of the Ocean King, and involves all characters that travel in ships (except Jolene). It ends in Molida Island, where Link receives a scroll that teaches him the Great Spin Attack. Notable, this was the last game in the series to employ this trope.

* {{Chickification}}: Tetra, after her role in ''The Wind Waker''. She spends the first half of the game held captive aboard the cursed Ghost Ship, and by the time Link is able to rescue her, she's been turned into a stone statue. She doesn't get better until Link takes down the BigBad's first form, and even then she doesn't participate in the second half of the fight.
* ColossusClimb: A variation occurs with Eox in Mutoh's Temple, as you get catapulted on top of it by hitting ancient seesaws with the hammer.

* CommonplaceRare: You must repeatedly visit the Temple of the Ocean King, a cursed place filled with evil phantoms and multiple puzzles that drains the life of anyone who enters it, in order to acquire... maps that allow you to sail from one island to another. Something you'd expect to be far more common in a ship-filled seafaring world like this one.
* ConspicuouslySelectivePerception: There are a few places where Link has to sneak around. The main dungeon, in particular, is full of "Phantoms", invincible (until the end) guards that chase Link as soon as he enters their line of sight or runs on one type of floor - but have no reaction beyond brief puzzlement to being ''hit in the back by a grappling hook'' that snags whatever they're holding. Justified by Phantoms being single-minded magical guardians.
* DeathsHourglass: The titular hourglass protects Link from the temple's curse. But only as long as its sun-ray-charged sands keep falling. Once the hourglass runs out, Link's life force is drained, which usually results in a GameOver when you're stuck too deep in the temple. Also, in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', there's the on-screen clock, aided by the fact that the Moon is coming down slowly and it's visible from almost everywhere in the game's world. The on-screen clock eventually changes into a countdown in the game's last six minutes.
* DieChairDie: Unlike in most prior games, you '''can''' kill the chickens, by picking them up and throwing them to the water. You have to jump into the water too, however; otherwise, they bounce from an invisible wall surrounding the land.
* DiscOneFinalDungeon: The Ghost Ship. It's suitable for the final dungeon, because [[ActionGirl Tetra]] is there, but you still need three more items and you haven't explored half of the ocean.
* DropTheHammer: A magic Hammer is collected in Mutoh's Temple. While much smaller than the Skull Hammer of the chonologically previous game's fame, it's still impressive considering it's wielded by [[NinjaButterfly a tiny fairy]], especially for {{Charged Attack}}s. And because it ''is'' Ciela who uses it, it's required to defeat enemies and press switches placed in spots that are unreachable for Link himself, including the weak points of the dungeon's boss (Eox).
* DrunkenOnMilk: There's a milk bar on Mercay Island, where your adventure begins. Try to order something, and the bartender says Link is too young to drink there.

* EscortMission: The Ghost Ship. Link has to escort three sisters to the safe spot where the fourth sister is. They give bad advice, scream and alert all the enemies in the area if they get too close to a Skulltula, and in general act like they're trying to sabotage you... which they are, which only makes it better in that you get to kill them once they reveal their true colors.

* FairyCompanion: There are 3 different ones (Ciela, Leaf, and Neri) that can each be powered up to raise attack, defense or have the sword beam.
* FakeLongevity: You constantly have to re-visit the same temple to get the next map to go fetch the next PlotCoupon. There's only a handful of waypoints around the temple, so there are levels you will constantly revisit. And no, they don't stay opened, so you have to re-do the puzzles each time (although most, but not all, can be skipped or become much easier with newly acquired items).
* FalseInnocenceTrick: Aboard the Ghost Ship, you find and rescue four unfortunate young sisters kidnapped by the ship and bring them to safety, but with each one, they get increasingly ObviouslyEvil, from their randomly cackling or giving blatant AntiAdvice for killing the monsters or suddenly blaring out lines like "FALLEN! FALLEN! They are the Fallen!". When all four are reunited it should come as no surprise whatsoever that they reveal themselves to be hideous monsters and start a game of Dead Man's Volley.

* FinalExamBoss: The final battle involves the grappling hook, the bow, a new form of the drawing gimmick, and even some boat combat. To finish it all off is a form of swordplay you've been developing by battles against Jolene.

** There are also some analogies with ''Majora's Mask''. It's a direct sequel to a prior ''Zelda'' game, has Link freeing trapped guardian spirits (the Ocean King and his helpers/the Four Giants), an emphasis on time limits (the Hourglass/the three-day cycle), a BigBad with tentacles and big yellow eyes who seems more like a destructive force of nature than a thinking, plotting villain (Bellum/Majora), a yellow fairy companion with a bit of an attitude (Ciela/Tatl), and the game's overworld having four major regions, with the fourth of them being the former homeland of extinct societies (the Cobble and Ikana Kingdoms).
