* [[spoiler:Bellum eats life force from all things around it, starting with the Ocean King]]. This would also explain why the Ghost Ship took Tetra away at the start, as a means of bringing food to its master. But when you think about [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]], it makes much more sense than expected. If a creature consumes life energy, what more delectable source exists than [[spoiler:a goddess]]?

* [[spoiler:Bellum eats Tetra being sought out and drained of her life force from all things around it, starting with the Ocean King]]. This would also explain why energy by the Ghost Ship took Tetra away at the start, as makes a means lot of bringing food to its master. But sense when you think about [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]], consider the events of ''The Minish Cap'', wherein you learned that [[spoiler:the princesses of Hyrule have the power of the mythic Light Force flowing through their veins]]. Furthermore, ''Spirit Tracks'' and ''Skyward Sword'' have since revealed that Tetra is also [[spoiler:the inheritor of a wealth of sacred spirit power as well as that of the ancient goddess Hylia]]. Is it makes much more sense than expected. If a creature consumes life energy, what more delectable source exists than [[spoiler:a goddess]]?
any wonder that Bellum was so intent on recapturing her, with these things in mind?

* In the Goron Temple, Link joins fates with Gongoron, with it being spelled out that this means one of them will keel over in the event that the other does. If this happens, the character you are not controlling can be seen dying just after the one in play dies. [[OhCrap Just imagine their reaction when they see their partner fall in battle]].

* There are skeletons everywhere in the game, so if it's not to spare the kids a gory shot, why does Kayo have a tombstone? In fact, ''who'' gave him a tombstone? Astrid is the only conscious being on the island... And how long could she have been hiding in that basement anyway? Something's odd on the Isle of Ember.

That's not really a valid reason for it to be 10 as opposed to any other number. What deeper meaning does this signify, exactly?


* At the end of the game, Tetra asks how long they've been gone for, and her crew says that it's only been "about 10 minutes". Why 10 minutes? [[spoiler:That was initially the same amount of time the Hourglass could protect Link from the Temple of the Ocean King's curse.]]

* The plot is an alternate universe version of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening''. This is why Oshus and Bellum seem so similar to the Wind Fish and Dethl respectively. It even explains the whole [[spoiler:AllJustADream]] ending.

** Does that mean that Windwaker's Link is an alternate universe version of Link to the Past's Link? It's plausible, considering that split timelines has been confirmed for the Zelda series.

** [[OrWasItADream But at the end, Link still has the Phantom Hourglass, and Linebeck got his ship back.]]
