3	* The Star Spark Diamond ring. An extremely gaudy diamond, [[TakeOurWordForIt that we never get to see]]. Whenever its box is opened it emits a blinding light. Ganondorf just cannot get over how gaudy it is.
4	** The fan dub even included ''rave music'', complete with rainbow window beams, to further emphasize how tacky it is.
5	* [[http://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/133390470432/part-31-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-new-comic When Ganondorf returns]] from being pushed into a lake, all he can do is burst into Zelda's room, soaking wet, and tell her that Rinku is grounded, leading Zelda to [[INeedAFreakingDrink spike her morning coffee.]] Made all the funnier by Rinku hiding in a cabinet in terror.
6	** This becomes a BrickJoke when [[spoiler: Zelda is confirmed to be pregnant]], and Ganon admonishes her for slipping hard liquor into her tea.
7	* As the recital is being prepared, the chefs flip out when they find [[FelonyMisdemeanor a small slice of the wedding cake missing.]] "What kind of monster would do this?!" one asks. AnswerCut to Ganondorf walking away with the missing slice.
8	* Ganondorf obsessing over his appearance on his wedding/coronation day, with his face covered in cream and a cucumber covering one eye.
9	* Ganondorf gifting Rinku a pet piglet, which she promptly names after her own mother due to the pig having the same [[KubrickStare judgmental stare]]. Ganondorf agrees that "Zelda" is a fitting name for the piglet.
10	** When Zelda expresses guilt for snapping at Ganondorf over the [[http://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/149007377277/part-70-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-new-comic colosseum fiasco]], Impa offers her reassurance and advises her not to be too trusting of Ganondorf. At that moment, Rinku barges into the room and gleefully shows them the pet pig Ganondorf gave her. Zelda and ''[[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises especially]]'' [[NotSoStoic Impa]] are less-than-pleased to hear the piglet's name.
11	--->'''Impa''': Don't compromise your convictions just because you want to see the best in hi-\
12	'''Rinku''': Hey, Mama!!! Check out this ''awesome'' pig that Ganondad gave me! He said "Zelda" was the perfect name for her!\
13	'''Zelda''': [[TranquilFury You might have a good point, Impa.]]\
14	'''Impa''': Will you ''please'' reconsider exiling him?\
15	'''Rinku''': ''[Cheerfully]'' What are you guys talking about?
16	** Later on, Impa gives Zelda the Pig a bath. Her [[LargeHam ham-tastic]] BaitAndSwitch speech is what sells it.
17	--->Zelda! Your behaviour has brought dishonor to the ''entire royal family!'' It is humiliating that this task has fallen to me! ...But the staff won't go anywhere ''near'' you after [[NoodleIncident what happened last time.]] Now... [[WhamLine It's time for your]] '''[[SeriousBusiness bath.]]'''
18	*** [[ResistanceIsFutile "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!"]]
19	*** [[LargeHam "ZELLLDAAA!!! GET BACK HERE, YOU DAMN DIRTY SWINE!!!"]]
20	* When Zelda apologizes to Ganondorf for threatening to sic Link on him and requests that he apologize for his own mistakes in return, he says no. Zelda's [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/94f87bd22d2d4f6ccf27f762718dbca6/tumblr_ovrmarePvi1rt8loro3_1280.jpg disgruntled expression]] is priceless.
21	* [[AbhorrentAdmirer Vaati]] tries to seduce Zelda at her own wedding, who responds by throwing her alcoholic drink in his face, burning his eyes.
22	* After Ganondorf's fallout with Zelda, Vaati advises him to give her some space to cool down, to which Ganondorf agrees. Cut to Vaati [[ShirtlessScene (with his shirt off)]] trying to seduce Zelda ''again''.
23	** This time, Zelda responds to Vaati's advances by throwing him out a three-story window, much to his outrage.
24	--->'''Vaati''': You didn't know I could ''fly!!!'' That fall would've ''killed me!!!''\
25	'''Zelda''': [[DeadpanSnarker Nonsense. There's a perfectly soft moat down there for you to land in.]]
26	* Any scene with the Bulblin/Bokoblin that serves as Ganondorf's valet/messenger. Completely oblivious to the supercharged political atmosphere, he happily delivers messages to Zelda. Particularly when she lights Ganondorf's "not an apology" note on fire, then throws ''that'' onto the stack of gifts the bulbin had carted in.
27	-->'''Zelda''': Return to sender.
28	** The message written in Ganondorf's card deserves special mention.
29	--->STOP BEING MAD AT ME.\
30	~GANONDORF\
31	PS: THIS IS NOT AN APOLOGY.
32	* Ganondorf, being the DotingParent that he is, [[http://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/172050877417/part-153-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-march-19th remodels Rinku's room]] to be ''massive''. Rinku [[{{Tomboy}} feels out of place with such opulence]], so Skullkid comes up with the best idea - [[spoiler: do a campout ''inside the room'', complete with campfire and marshmallows]].
33	-->'''Voice outside the room''': Riiinku? [[spoiler:DO I SMELL SMOKE?!]]
34	* Part 147 features a book titled ''The Princess and the Plumber'', featuring Mario and Peach as they appear in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door''. The funny part? [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/170579186452/part-147-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-jan-6th See for yourself]]. [[spoiler: Mario and Peach have swapped faces.]]
35	* Rinku tries to explain the "nightmare" she had- [[spoiler: really a memory of [[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaMajorasMask a Majora-possessed Skull Kid]] about to bring the moon down on Termina.]] [[http://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/170280768127/part-146-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-jan-29th Zelda tries to picture it.]]
36	* Later on, Rinku shows Zelda that Skull Kid is indeed real by bringing him to her. Zelda's faces as she's mentally screaming are oddly hilarious as you can tell how much she wants to say everything on her mind. What's even funnier is that she asks about ''Kirby'' and if he's real. [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/182905798987/part-186-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-feb-18th We get a rendition of a hyperealistically drawn Kirby to sweeten it all up.]]
37	** The private conversation between Zelda and Skull Kid right after is one big case of MoodWhiplash. It ''starts'' off cordial, but then Zelda learns that Skull Kid knows the truth about Rinku, and they threaten each other over it... Only for them to immediately act friendly towards each other as they bid each other farewell.
38	* Zelda and Ganondorf discuss the idea of adopting Skull Kid.
39	-->'''Zelda''': Skullkid is ''not'' our child.\
40	'''Ganondorf''': So why don't we adopt him?\
41	'''Zelda''': [[BluntNo No.]]\
42	'''Ganondorf''': But he makes our daughter happy.\
43	'''Zelda''': You just like ''all'' undead! He's at ''least'' 60% evil!\
44	'''Ganondorf''': As are ''all'' children.\
45	'''Skull Kid''': If ''anyone'' tries to adopt me I'LL ''CURSE'' THEM AND ''BURN DOWN'' THEIR HOUSE!\
46	'''Ganondorf''': How can you ''not'' find him endearing, Zelda?\
47	'''Zelda''': By being ''sane!''
48	* [[DragonWithAnAgenda Vaati]] was initially planning on finding this incarnation of Link to fight Ganondorf, then he'd pick off the survivor. The next time you see him, he's suddenly trying to figure out how to kill Ganondorf himself. [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/175046664117/part-166-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-june19th Ghirahim asks why the change of plans, and the answer leaves him rolling his eyes.]]
49	* [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/184529895732/part-190-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-april-29th Impa finds Zelda in a laundry basket, hiding from a well-meaning but overbearing husband.]] The stress of Ganondorf’s coddling, the pregnancy, and the constant fear that Ganondorf discovers Rinku’s identity early has left Zelda a ''tad bit'' stressed. She ends up going off on a tangent about how she should essentially take Ganondorf's usual role in the cycle, become the power-hungry tyrant and destroy Hyrule ''herself'' to give Rinku and Ganondorf an enemy in common to break the cycle!
50	-->'''Impa''': I found your [[{{Pun}} basket case]].
51	** For that matter, the fact that Impa and Ganondorf are on the same side for a change.
52	* Vaati, in an attempt to find one of the Sheikah's ancient gossip stones, is pointed Impa's way by Dr. Featherton, a Rito librarian. Against the latter's (rather blasé) protests, he attempts to seduce her to...less-than-desirable results. He even turns himself into a woman in an attempt to do so, which Impa admits she admires!... Though only enough to not beat him senseless.
53	** [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/175780216902/part-169-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-july11th The conversation that leads to this]] is... something to behold.
54	--->'''Dr. Featherton:''' But either way, I strongly recommend just asking politely instead.
55	* After Zelda tells Ganondorf that she intends to work on the portal that Vaati is building, he [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/611408290927296512/part-206-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-march-1 stops by the lab]] to make sure his wife will be safe while doing so. [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror Vaati is so blasé about being physically threatened]] that he takes umbrage with Ganondorf's kid-friendly phrasing.
56	-->'''Ganondorf:''' That's not actually what I meant, but '''sure.''' I'll add it to the list.\
57	'''Vaati:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Ah. Lovely.]]
58	* Vaati and Zelda are testing the portal they are building. Vaati sticks his hand through, wanting to see what New Horizon they've reached, and returns... with a [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons bag of bells in his hand and a VERY annoyed Tom Nook hanging off of his hand by the teeth.]] Injury aside, Vaati and Zelda are both visibly pleased with how the test went.
59	** The look on Vaati's face after getting bitten by Tom Nook. He just looks so fed up.
60	** In the second panel, Tom Nook hisses like a cat whilst biting Vaati's hand.
61	* After returning Tom Nook back home, Zelda tends to Vaati's injury and tells him that she's really enjoyed working on the portal with him these last few weeks, and that she's surprised to have seen a spark of goodness in him. She claims that she believes everyone can change, and she'd like to give him the chance to, so that one day maybe they could be friends. All in all it's a shockingly heartwarming scene, but cut to later that night when Vaati's lying awake...
62	-->'''Vaati:''' Ghirahim, how do I get rid of guilt without changing any of my diabolical plans?\
63	'''Ghirahim:''' Maybe you just ''shouldn't do'' them?!
64	* A bit of humour in an otherwise-[[NightmareFuel horrifying]] scene; the scroll with the barrier spell Vaati uses to detain a newly-transformed Dr. Featherton has a note from Zelda with the message 'Emergency use ONLY! Stop wasting my scrolls!'.
65	* While Ganondorf entertains the royal family visiting from the Zora kingdom, [[NoSocialSkills Rinku asks if it's weird for them that normal fish basically look like Zora heads floating around]]. The king and queen say yes, while the prince complains that they didn't until Rinku asked.
66	** Impa suggests to Ganondorf that Rinku maybe shouldn't be present to entertain foreign delegates. Ganondorf objects that she's doing great, [[NotSoAboveItAll they were all wondering that]].
67	* The Zoras present Ganondorf with a gift; A massive statue depicting him, completely naked, standing AtopAMountainOfCorpses (including the master sword), with an equally-naked Zelda (thankfully employing SceneryCensor) on his shoulder. Ganondorf ''loves'' it, marveling at the detail, though he does express a bit of concern over the accuracy of the nether regions. Turns out that the {{sculptor\|s}} was his ex-boyfriend.
68	** Extra hilarious is Impa's expressions upon beholding said statue with Ganondorf.
69	* [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/696983766065922048/part-237-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-oct-1ish As he and Impa prepare for the baby shower,]] Ganondorf is oddly complimentary of her work. Impa immediately picks up on why...
70	-->'''Impa''': ''(sigh)'' What extra favor do you want?
71	-->'''Ganondorf''': ''(hands her a piece of paper while looking away)'' Here's a list of royal assassination "suggestions" that you may want to "take care of" during the party. This is not an "order". Zelda won't let me make orders like that anymore, [[LoopholeAbuse but she said nothing about "suggestions".]]
72	-->'''Impa''': Ah. The king that's been groping the staff is on here. I'll consider it.
73	* [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/710691697139613696/part-241-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-march-2 Upon opening the portal to the moon]], the fact that the audience are a bunch of [[UpperClassTwit idiot rulers and nobles]] who can't really comprehend how monumental a ''portal to the moon is'' undermines the achievement, [[SurroundedByIdiots much to Zelda and Vaati's exasperation]]. And then there's this exchange with some random member of the crowd...
74	-->'''Spectator:''' Before you switch it, [[SkewedPriorities may I toss a tiny little flag through?]]
75	-->'''Zelda''': Absolutely not.
76	-->'''Spectator:''' But I don't see any ''other'' flags there yet!
77	* When opening the portal to the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Kingdom]] Zelda claims that, if she's lucky, her calibrations will open the portal near the front gate of the castle. When she does so, however, she's immediately greeted by hostile guards leaping between the portal and their monarch.
