1 - Sixteen
- While the reason Impa wakes Zelda up is sweet, the princess is still clearly annoyed with Impa waking her up so early. And why did Impa do it so early? Because she couldn't wait. And when Zelda realizes the time, she decides to just get up early.
- Impa practices her Hand Seals...while Zelda is relaxing on her shoulder. She does it at rapid fire pace but somehow so smoothly that Zelda barely notices. It's as weirdly awesome as it is funny to think about that image.
- While Link and the other knights are sparring, without their shirts on, there are plenty of spectators. Many of them are teenage girls fantasizing about the knights, and some of them are pregnant. And then there were some men alongside them...apparently for no other reason other than to ogle their knight lovers.
- One of the knights who fights Link, Mayz, calls Link a showoff for beating him and three other knights at the same time. And when Link gives him a suggestion, Mayz claims it drives him crazy...and Link keeps up the politeness seemingly to invoke that reaction from him.
- Zelda pokes fun at a Noodle Incident with Impa where she apparently carved out a hole in the side of her house when practicing her kodachi skills.
- Cheria displays how the Sheikah Slate's inventory works by using it on Impa's Devoted Kodachi. Impa gets a little annoyed when she can't get her weapon back out of it.
2 - Battle of Hyrule Field
- Link, Impa, and King Rhoam charge out onto the battlefield past the Sacred Grounds ready to fight...when Impa suddenly trips over a simple little rock. She yelps and the Sheikah Slate flies out of her hand, completely killing the awesome moment.
- Hestu brings levity to an otherwise bleak chapter. The moment he shows up, he's quite the cutie. Any moments that aren't sweet are funny, or maybe even both.
- The mechanism of how Link summons him is conceptually chuckle-worthy on its own. It's a freaking cannon that creates a blast of sparkles in the shape of a purple diamond.
- The first thing Hestu does is give Link The Glomp. Except his arms are way too small to hug him, so he uses his purple bubbles.
- And then an easy-to-miss line says that one of the floating little Koroks comes to rest on Link's head. He doesn't complain, nor is it even commented on, like Link is so used to it that he (nor the reader) even notices it.
3 - Road to the Ancient Tech Lab
- Hestu expresses how he's not looking forward to climbing up a mountain in Hebra...and then screams "LET'S DO IT!"
- Earlier was Hestu barging in on the serious moment of the King, Link, Zelda, and Impa deciding who they should request to be the Champions with his usual Large Ham nature, giving some serious Mood Whiplash.
- In the same moment is everyone in the room, including Impa and Link, glaring at the king demanding that he get sleep. It's bleakly hilarious that everyone needs to gang up on the king just to make him sleep.
4 - Eccentric Geniuses
- The title is a Shout-Out to Purah and Robbie's titles from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. So of course, there are going to be some funny antics from the two of them.
- Robbie does the exact same thing he does in the original prequel game, where he cheers on how he has "finished his painstaking analysis" and does his famous pose...while the others find this to be completely usual and barely react.
- Purah twice snatches the Sheikah Slate. Once from Robbie, and once from Zelda. She even uses the camera feature to take a selfie with Zelda and Impa, the latter of whom was caught off guard during the selfie.
5 - Cult of Demise
- When Bani says that it's going to take hours to take down everything on the walls of the Lomei Labyrinth Islands subterranean room, Hestu conveniently reveals New Powers as the Plot Demands and uses his powers over bubbles to draw everything in the room in Bani's sketchbook.
- Marcy the Gerudo lampshades the group's lack of forward thinking. When they say the king doesn't want anyone getting any hints of what was in the labyrinths, Marcy points out that there are now empty treasure chests in these rooms that are going to incite questions, which the group realizes and means that they, or at least Hestu, have to backtrack to the labyrinths to get rid of the chests.
6 - Zora Wellspring
- Ulo's playful bedroom banter with his husband Roro is sweet and a little funny with how Roro pokes fun at him, claiming that maybe him being present would encourage Ulo to fight harder. Not because of love and wish to protect Roro, but to impress Roro.
- Purah's antics are still chuckle-worthy. Her Gosh Darn It to Heck! moments, plus how she yells down to Robbie, and how she tells the lovebirds (Robbie and Cheria who can't keep their eyes off each other) to get a room.
7 - Gerudo Tempest
- Purah and Robbie have their notes about the Shrine of Resurrection haphazardly scattered across multiple tables. They're bright, but they are most certainly not the most organized of people. In fact, the notes are a bit symbolic of how eccentric and scatterbrained yet brilliant the two of them are.
- Purah playfully makes fun of Robbie and Cheria going off to Hyrule Castle, just the two of them, clearly thinking that they intend to do things other than return to the castle and look at old records.
- It's awesome how Master Kohga fights back against the possession, but he's still Master Kohga, so his words and actions provide a lot of Mood Whiplash. For example, he stamps his feet in anger once he breaks out of the Malice twister, swings his Demon Carver around hitting Malice Astor like a child, and his final words include "All those naps and Mighty Bananas are paying off!"
- We get to see what happened after Urbosa's fight with the Yiga Clan Footsoldiers. Tyria and Impa come running out of the town wondering what just happened, much to Urbosa's humor. Even Zelda couldn't help but giggle.
- Link reveals that he has already been Disguised in Drag and been to Gerudo Town. Ulo's reaction just completes it since at first he wonders how Link knows what's in Gerudo Town, and then realizes what Link was meaning.
