** But then you get to the punchline: [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Alm]] [[CuttingTheKnot simply asking Forsyth if he wants to join...]] [[StatingTheSimpleSolution and, without a catch, he accepts.]]
* [[http://awkwardzombie.com/comic/housebroken The 100 Acre Wood storybook is a precious fragile world of peace and Sora should not be allowed anywhere near it, ever.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''[[CharacterizationMarchesOn 's Link]] [[http://awkwardzombie.com/comic/a-link-to-the-cast-part1 isn't familiar with the concept of Link's iconic hat]]. In fact, he has so many hats, some of which don't seem safe...
-->'''Link:''' ''(puts on Majora's Mask)'' This hat?
-->'''Mega Man:''' No!
-->'''Young Link:''' Why do you ''have'' that?!
** [[http://awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/a-link-to-the-cast-part2 Then]] Marth shows up and, having learned that this Link is a royal knight, decides he's "[[TemptingFate officially worth speaking to]]".
--->'''Link:''' ''(as Marth holds out a hand)'' Wow, sure, I'll be your friend! [[CharacterCheck Do you have a bug collection? I got hungry this morning so mine is kinda running low, but we can still trade.]]
--->'''Marth:''' ''([[{{Beat}} glares;]] [[{{Squick}} pulls hand away]])''
** If you look at Marth's social hierarchy, you will notice that he places royalty (i.e. [[SmallNameBigEgo himself]]) [[BlasphemousBoast above]] ''[[BlasphemousBoast divinity]]''.
*** Also, Katie's comment for the comic itself: "Marth will defend those rankings to the death, [[TakeThat just like anyone who has ever made a fightgame tier list]]."
** [[https://twitter.com/katietiedrich/status/1075199051463909376 The author released the full tier list.]] Peasants are below animals.
** Marth's reasoning for some of the characters' placement include:
*** Isabelle is several steps above animal because she has a job and conforms to society, unlike Sonic, [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal who doesn't wear pants]].
*** Robin is a criminal [[SinsOfTheFather because his father's a criminal.]]
*** King K. Rool and King Dedede [[AuthorityInNameOnly aren't recognized as royalty]], though Bowser, Bowser Jr and Ganondorf are. Similarly, Rosalina's not a princess or a god, "just some clown with a spaceship" (though he does count her as nobility and therefore worth speaking to).
*** Zero Suit Samus is not on the list because she's just Samus, but Doctor Mario is separate from Mario as he is his medical knowledge given physical form. [[InsaneTrollLogic This is Canon.]]
*** Twitter users argued that Yoshi and Lucas belong in the Criminal tier. Katie doesn't know why [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc8vrGjyqes Yoshi is wanted for tax fraud]], but she'll believe it without question. [[TheWoobie Lucas]], meanwhile, refused to bow down to Porky's capitalist regime, destroys property, and steals from the Pigmask Army, which makes him a wanted outlaw.
** In general, just how much Marth's list ignores context. For instance, Mario and Luigi are listed as 'laborer', just above 'criminal', because they technically don't have any official title, work as plumbers, and live humbly; in spite of their social status in their own world. And the fact that ''Wario'', who might as well be the literal embodiment of crudeness, manages to get a much higher ranking than over half the cast (though Marth still doesn't consider him worth speaking to) solely because of his wealth.
** Captain Falcon never even ''noticed'' [[http://awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/a-link-to-the-cast-part3 that Young Link and Toon Link are separate individuals]]. He always thought that Young Link had a [[InflatingBodyGag severe allergic reaction]] "that everybody was [[IgnoreTheDisability too polite to talk about]]". This makes Samus FacePalm.
** While Samus is explaining the concept of different timelines to Captain Falcon and Mega Man, [[StableTimeLoop Bayonetta]] and [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong Lucina]] nod in approval.
** When Shiek and Zelda appear, Cap is completely baffled that they are seperate people. Samus questions [[ComicallyMissingThePoint why he finds]] ''that'' weird.
** [[http://awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/a-link-to-the-cast-part4 When Ganondorf arrives]] to explain that, unlike Link and Zelda, he's the same regarding the timeline, Link and Zelda go to attack him. [[note]]Ironically, the Link and Zelda are from ''Breath of the Wild'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'' respectively, and have never seen Ganon in his human form.[[/note]]
--->'''Ganon:''' ''(with an expression who says "I am so done with this")'' *Sigh* Every time.
*** Author's Commentary: [[LaserGuidedKarma "He probably deserves this."]]
** [[http://awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/a-link-to-the-cast-part5 Just as Samus finishes her explanation]], Link notices Fox and [[MeatOVision wants to turn him into meat]]. [[OhCrap Fox is visibly nervous.]][[note]]Foxes in ''Breath of the Wild'' can be hunted down and eaten. It's also a CallBack to a BOTW comic, where Link kills a fox, because he [[CreatorsApathy can't interact with it otherwise]].[[/note]]

[[note]]For context, ''Persona'' is a LighterAndSofter spinoff of ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', an aptly dark series where the heroes summon actual gods and demons to fight for them with all the world-ending implications it entails. Like most of the hero's [[FightingSpirit Personas]], Satan's design and model are recycled from previous entries in the SMT series; the devs didn't design an EldritchAbomination for a relatively lighthearted game.[[/note]]
