* DesignatedHero: The Four Links. Well, Red Link anyway. He's the only one shown to be particularly violent, and he's been drunk for most of the series. The other three are varying levels of JerkAss but still mostly heroic.
* GrowingTheBeard: As the series went on, the writing and the voice acting got increasingly better. In particular, Purple's voice acting was quite lackluster in Episode 2, but has improved much more since.
** Especially [=HadoukenDude=] as Green Link. In the original version of Episode 1, his performance suffered from DullSurprise. Like Purple's VA, he's thankfully gotten better.
* HarsherInHindsight: See GratuitousJapanese on the main page.
* HilariousInHindsight: In the second part of the Broken Mirror arc, when trying to teleport back to the main entrance of the first dungeon, they briefly stumble into the first Legend of Zelda game, complete with the appropriate graphics, causing Red, Blue, and Purple Link to shout in unison "GOOD GOD, NO!" In the anniversary release of Four Swords, one of the levels for the Realm of Memories that the Links could play in ''is'' a level based on the first Zelda, down to the graphics.
