History Fridge / TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess

* Very mild example compared to all the evils addressed above, but... how's Agitha going to take it when she finally pairs off all her prized new bugs for her fancy play-time royal ball, only to see the female mantis ''bite the head off the male''?

** The Hero's Shade final skill, the Geart Spin, isn't physically demonstrated by him unlike the other skills (bar the Ending Blow; he does perform the Shield Attack to demonstrate the Helm Splitter). He mentions that the user's [[LifeEnergy health]] must be brimming full. Considering his status as an undead, it makes sense he wouldn't demonstrate it; not because he doesn't want, but because he ''can't''.

* The final boss's death scene. It's a pretty common point of confusion the way [[spoiler:Ganondorf seems to lose the Triforce of Power. At some point, long after viewing the scene for the first time, this troper realized that he's not ''losing'' it; the crest fading out signifies that it can't save him from being impaled by the Master Sword like it saved him when he was impaled by the Sages. Master Sword trumps Triforce-granted powers. Confirmed by ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', where it's stated that the sword was originally created with the ability to block the Triforce's power. A fragment compared to the complete Triforce is easily depowered.]]

** This also makes sense, as the wolf seems to be a representation of the Stalfos that teaches Link techniques, which is implied to be the Hero Of Time.

** His breakdown can also be traced through his battle. For the Diababa and Dangoro phases, he seems quite confident in his powers as he laughs and toys with Link. When those don't work, he ups the ante in the Morpheel and Ook phases, increasing the battle's scale and trying to disorient Link to win back the advantage. When those don't work either, he goes for brute strength in the Blizzeta phase, desperate to squaah Link like a bug. Once he's exhausted, he takes Link in front of Hyrule Castle - the beginning of his conquest and the lair of his master, Ganondorf - and reverts to a manic lunatic, attempting to show up Link in swordplay desite being completely untrained. The shout he does when changing each phase even become more unhinged as he goes.

* It may seem quirky at first for Midna to try wearing the Ordon Shield like a mask. However, Twili culture seems to have some sort of affinity for masks and helmets (i.e. Midna wearing the Fused Shadow piece, Zant's signature helmet, and the plates on the faces of the Shadow Beasts). In her culture, it would make sense to place it upon one's face first.

** Keyword being "most". Barnes mentions that when the people of Kakariko went to save a woman being attacked by a Twilit, she was nowhere to be found and there were instead two of the monsters, implying that [[TheVirus she was turned by her attacker]].

** Some? The Twilt Beasts are actually transformed [[DarkIsNotEvil Twili]], [[TragicMonster so try most, if not]] ''[[TragicMonster all]]'' [[TragicMonster of them]].

* It's often wondered why Zant's men took the children of Ordon Village away and kept them hostage, as they do not do that to anybody else in Hyrule. It's possible that ''[=OoT=]''/''MM'' Link settled down in Ordon Village (where his descendant, ''TP'' Link, lives) and that [[spoiler:Ganondorf somehow knew this]], so it was suspected that one of the children might have inherited the Triforce of Courage. This could explain why ''TP'' Link was taken to Hyrule Castle instead of staying with the other children (as his... [[BalefulPolymorph unusual reaction]] to the Twilight pretty much gave himself away).

** Additionally, [[spoiler:Din, who the Sages implied may have handed Ganondorf her Triforce piece as a prank (possibly even knowing what he did with it in the Adult Timeline), may have decided that her 'divine prank' had run its course, given her chosen champion had been defeated, and revoked her favor, taking the Triforce of Power away from him and leaving him to die]].
* Each stage of the final boss [[FinalExamBoss tests Link]] in a different way: [[spoiler:for example, Beast Ganon tests his beast form against your beast form, Horseback Ganondorf tests him on horseback with you on Epona, Spirit Ganon tests Midna's spirit form against his, and Ganondorf is a final test of your skill as a swordsman. To me, Possessed Zelda is a test against you as a player, as you must use most of your skills to defeat that which you have sworn to protect]]. The analogy (that [[spoiler:Possessed Zelda]] is a test for the player himself) makes even more sense when you consider this: You are essentially "possessing" Link, as a counterpart to [[spoiler:Ganondorf possessing Zelda]].

* Most dungeon bosses have an eye (which may [[EyesDoNotBelongThere not belong where it is]]) that both functions as a weak point and turns into a Heart Container upon the boss's defeat. This may be a Japanese pun: eye = ''ai'' (love). Which comes full circle when you beat Blizzeta and the Heart Container comes from an expression of ''ai''.

* The scene of Zant snapping his neck right before Ganondorf dies seems to be confusing at first glance, to the point that even the director didn't know about its significance. But Zant himself explains before his boss fight that when Ganon housed his power in Zant to recover, "[Zant's] desires will become MY desires". So when what's left of Zant, seeing his God's power fade and him on the brink of death, snaps his neck, he expresses his desire for Ganondorf to die. Which, despite wanting to the contrary, Ganondorf does by succumbing to the Master Sword.

** Some? the Twilt Beasts are actually transformed [[DarkIsNotEvil Twili]], [[TragicMonster so try most, if not]] ''[[TragicMonster all]]'' [[TragicMonster of them]].

* Zant's VillainousBreakdown makes sense when you really think about his story of rejection by Twili royalty. The way he words it seems overly critical, specifically of their lack of desire for justice, for power over the light. It seems that the Twili shunned Zant in the first place for his zealous passion. After internalizing this, once he came into power he started to emulate the way his royalty had acted: calm, aloof, serious. It's what he knows a ruler should be like. But once his plan begins to collapse, he loses this built-up facade and lets his true self out once again, this time turned up to eleven. He never did have what it takes to be a ruler.

* It may seem quirky at first for Midna to try wearing the Ordon Shield like a mask. However, Twili culture seems to have some sort of affinity for masks and helmets - Midna wearing the Fused Shadow piece, Zant's signature helmet, the plates on the faces of the Shadow Beasts. In her culture, it would make sense to place it upon one's face first.
