* In the Majora's Mask story, when Tatl actually sounds worried about Link after he gets thrown far from an attack, despite already being aware of his stupidity.
* Though she may have just done it to hurt Link, Gohma giving him a hug near the end of Majora's Mask.
** Another one from Gohma was during the second-to-last chapter, when [[spoiler: Ganondorf is quite obviously about to kill Link.]] Gohma, instead of just leaving it alone since Link is no longer useful to her, [[spoiler: knocks Ganondorf out]] and saves Link's life.
* The interactions between Diababa and Stallord are subtle moments of this kind.
