'''Navi:''' [[BrickJoke Something about muffins!]]

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Squirrels?]]: ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' Link has a deep rooted fear of squirrels, due to his hilariously traumatic past.
* WhyWontYouDie: Said by Ciela, after she acquires the hammer and learns she can’t kill Link with it. [[spoiler: She kept wailing him on his head, which apparently has no effect.]]

* TemptingFate: Link commands the Wind Waker to show its true power. Cue a SmashCut to Link being blown asunder.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The Deku Princess knows that the palace guards won't be enough to stop the Hero of Time, so she calls in a number of other (increasingly large) forces to help, concluding with pirates, bandits, the Huns from 'Mulan', the Scottish army from 'Braveheart' and [[StarWars the Galactic Empire]]. [[spoiler:Link still wins.]]

* Flanderization: At first, Link started out as a reasonable person, with a bit of a perverted streak. By Ocarina of Time, he has grown to a sex maniac with a violent streak, caring little for others

%%* LoveAtFirstSight

** In ''Majora's Mask'', Link attacks Majora with a snot bubble -- right before he was going to make a FaceHeelTurn -- causing him to continue with destroying the world, goes on a Goron race to get a bottle and causes a rock-slide crushing a scientist who had cured all diseases but he went out to play with his daughter before he wrote it down. He also managed to "rescue" a fish from drowning at the Great Bay. He also killed the Skeleton King who makes it quite clear that sunlight is his one weakness after he said he and his unbeatable army would help kill Skullkid.

* ShoutOut: A few with this one, special mention goes to the King of Red Lions being [[spoiler:[[ZeldaCDIGames King Harkinian.]]]]

* ArtisticLicense: Frequently lampshaded and complained about by SpiritTracks Link.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Link persuades Zelda to [[DoomedDefeatist stop panicking]] and fight [[TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Malladus]] with sexual services as an offering. After he realizes just how badly Zelda wants him, he immediately regrets it.

* CowardlyLion: TwilightPrincess Link, which, as Midna points out, is why he’s the best person to wield the Triforce of Courage. Despite being traumatized by pretty much everything he encounters, he just keeps going.

* ObliviousToLove: Almost every version of Link has no idea Zelda lusts after him. The notable exceptions are TwilightPrincess Link [[spoiler: [[SmoochOfVictory who screws her after Ganondorf is defeated,]]]] and [[spoiler: SpiritTracks Link, who promises to have sex with her if she keeps fighting.]]

--> '''SkywardSword Zelda:''' Wow. I have some strange fantasies. I should probably see somebody about that.

** Most notably TwilightPrincess Link, right before he TookALevelInBadass.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Squirrels?]]: TwilightPrincess Link has a deep rooted fear of squirrels, due to his hilariously traumatic past.

* IdiotHero / TooDumbToLive: The WindWaker (and by extension, PhantomHourglass) incarnation of Link. Every other character in the series has good reason to call him a dumbass.

** Single-episode variant in episode 2 of MajorasMask. Link spends a few minutes near the beginning obsessing over the dead tree in the tunnel (you know the one), and how it "looks so sad". Tatl finally snaps him out of it, and they proceed through the first three-day cycle. They eventually get to the clock tower, where [[CardCarryingVillain Skull Kid]] prompts them to look up, and the episode ends with:

* GenreSavvy: In episode 10 of Twilight Princess, Link says that if nothing happens, they'll be fine. Immediately after, he waits for something to happen. In the entire opening, [[WrongGenreSavvy nothing happens, and Link starts doubt anything's coming.]] [[spoiler: Then, during the Opening Theme, Rusl confronts Link.]]
** [[spoiler:[[LampshadeHanging Link's reaction? "AUGH! I KNEW IT!!"]]]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Link persuades Zelda to [[DoomedDefeatist stop panicking]] and fight [[TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Malladus]] with sexual services as an offering. After he realizes just how badly Zelda wants Link, he immediately regrets it.

* CoolAndUnsualPunishment: Makar gets banished to a cavern behind a nearby waterfall by the [[spoiler:now evil]] Deku Tree for meditating. While he wasn't keen on the idea at first, he ultimately didn't mind.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The Deku Princess knows that the palace guards won't be enough to stop the Hero of Time, so she calls in a number of other (increasingly large) forces to help, concluding with pirates, bandits, [[Mulan the Huns]], [[Braveheart the Scottish army]] and[[StarWars the Galactic Empire]].

** In the ''Ocarina of Time Abridged'', the Great Deku Tree claims that his penis is smaller than Navis' IQ. Ganondorf later says it was frustating having such tiny penis when he is the only male in an all female society and can´t get laid. So he has decided if he couldn´t have an enormous dick, then he would become the biggest dick in the universe by pointless destroying Hyrule.

* Ganondorf suffers this in ''Twilight Princess Abridged''. Rather than being sent to Hell, he is exiled to limbo for all eternity. Let´s just remember that he spent ONE ENTIRE MONTH sitted on a throne and he was already bored after just a week. Now lets imagine an eternity...

*** Ganondorf in ''Ocarina of Time Abridged'' also suffers this. Zelda believes that he was experiencing far more pain than anyone could possible imagine... but Ganondorf is actually enjoying, considering that he spent most of the time being on fire.

* It turns out to be subverted in other cases.
** After everything he has done Zant goes to Heaven, something even Ganondorf is shocked. Zant claims it is because he was crazy, not evil.

** After Zant taes off her Fused Shadows and lets her in the light to die, Midna is infuriated that she was apparently sent to Heaven.

* {{Pun}}: There are some very bad ones, with possibly the most triumphant being the one involving ''Film/{{Saw}}'' in episode 16 of ''Ocarina of Time''. The creator apologized for this one.
