* MonsterSobStory: TP Link encounters a random Darknut whose life is just as shitty as Link's. The two of them bond over confiding their traumas to each other and gain some strength from finding a kindred spirit.

* WhyWontYouDie: Said by [[TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass 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.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Midna makes a point to avert this, recognizing that her Link is the perfect wielder of the Triforce of Courage ''because'' he's terrified and traumatized by everything- [[CowardlyLion and keeps fighting anyways.]]

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: "What in the name of Crocodile Dundee is goin' on here?"

* TheyCalledMeMad: Danpe
* ThisLoserIsYou: Uncle Fanboy

* PlotDeviceAllAlong: You know that {{Hammerspace}} Midna has? The one from canon? [[spoiler: That ability to store Link’s personal items in another dimension doubles as protection against the [[InfinityMinusOneSword Master Sword]].]]

-->'''Man on Flying Carpet:''' I am not this ''great'' [[OsamaBinLaden Bin Laden]] that you speak of. I am... American businessman. Osama... Erm... Smith. See! I drive American Mustang. (''holds up scroll with strange symbols'') And look: English.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Midna- to both the benefit and determent of Hyrule. On the one hand she recognizes that true courage is continuing to do what's right despite being afraid (one of Link's defining traits), but on the other hand she realizes that she's going to need protection from [[HolyBurnsEvil the sword of Evil's Bane]] and finds that protection long before Link considers using it against her.

''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series is one of the more popular sources for material for AbridgedSeries on Website/YouTube. For example, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/adamwestslapdog adamwestslapdog]] has already finished an abridged series based on ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', and is currently working on one for ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. [[http://www.youtube.com/user/xanauzumaki xanauzumaki]] has already completed abridged series for three ''Zelda'' games, ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. And [[http://www.youtube.com/user/tauberpa tauberpa]] has abridged ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaPhantomHourglass Phantom Hourglass]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaSpiritTracks Spirit Tracks]]'' ''and'' ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', and is just now working on abridging ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]''. Just like other abridged series, these point out weird plot-points of the original work and add some pop-culture references as well.

* GladToBeAliveSex: Link ''weaponizes'' it in Spirit Tracks, by telling Zelda that if she pulls out of her despair to help him fight the final boss and they live through the final battle, he'll do "whatever she wants." [[LetsGetDangerous She rises to the challenge.]]

** Link at the end of [[spoiler: Twilight Princess, due to a pep-talk from a hallucination from Farore convincing him to become TheUnfettered.]]

** See GladToBeAliveSex for Zelda's moment in SpiritTracks.

* EntendreFailure: PlayedForLaughs, consistently played straight and then inverted in the HD remake of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]''. Link fails to understand Tetra's flirting and Tetra fails to understand that he isn't flirting back.

* GladToBeAliveSex: Link ''weaponizes'' it in Spirit Tracks, by telling Zelda that if she pulls out of her despair and they live through the final battle he'll do "whatever she wants." [[LetsGetDangerous She rises to the challenge.]]

** And do NOT say anything bad about muffins in front of Navi. ''Seriously!'' Don't. Diss. Muffins. In front of. Navi. Dark Link realised that the hard way, and Ganondorf discovered that destroying his tower with Navi's new friend, the muffin vendor, still inside was a ''really'' bad idea.

** In the ''Twilight Princess Abridged'', Ganondorf claims that his penis is the size of a tictac... when erected. He suspects it is because the Gerudos are mostly a female race, which leads to to a lack of testorone in the DNA, explaining why all gerudo males tend to compensate it by becoming the primary antagonist.

** In the ''Ocarina of Time Abridged'', the Great Deku Tree claims that his penis is [[UpToEleven 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...

* {{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

* OmniscientMoralityLicense: In ''Majora's Mask Abridged'', Link tells Tatl that because he can just turn back time, it doesn't matter what horrible acts he commits because he can just undo it at a moments notice.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: A literal example in 'Twilight Princess Abridged'. While Link and Midna traveled to reach all temples and to the Twilight Realm (which took an entire month), Ganondorf was all that time sitting on the throne in Hyrule Castle waiting for them to come. He spent all that time counting all the cracks on the ceiling.

-->'''Saria:''' [[spoiler:Its okay! Girls have an extra rib anyways!]]

* AWizardDidIt: "I'm just gonna say 'Triforce of courage, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Biatch]],' and leave it at that."

* CardCarryingVillain: Midna, Gannondorf, Cole...

* KickTheDog: Gannondorf has en entire speech dedicated to this.

* StalkerWithACrush: Illia. Her repeated rape attempts are one of Link's many traumas.

* BlackComedyRape: Link to Medli after finding an alternative to the [[MindControlMusic Command Melody.]]
* BrotherSisterIncest: Medli wishes to do this to Komali seemingly just because. Komali is understandably against it. Played for laughs.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: 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.
* MushroomSamba: Makar appears to be going through one moments before Link fights Kalle Demos, the Forbidden Woods boss [[spoiler:and the person who gave Makar the drugs in the first place]].
* ReallyGetsAround: Medli, who is the only female on Dragon Roost.
* ShoutOut: A few with this one, special mention goes to the King of Red Lions being [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames King Harkinian.]]]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: Link killed his parents by planting explosives in the refrigerator. He later stumbles across where they're buried in the Earth Temple (the [[DemBones Stalfos]] miniboss room) and is forced to kill them again when they attack him.
* SiblingMurder: Link also attempts to have Tetra execute Aryll after they rescue her and [[EvilLaugh laughs maniacally]] when she's taken away. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope She's okay in the end, though.]]]]
* SirSwearsALot: The Wind Waker.
--> '''King:''' [[LampshadeHanging It likes cursing, you know.]]
* SociopathicHero: Not quite Xana's Link, but is known for doing some pretty heinous things.
* TemptingFate: Link commands the Wind Waker to show its true power. Cue a JumpCut to Link being blown clear across the ocean.
