** It's simple gameplay and story segregation. Especially since you don't need to go into the shop at all for any of the mask quests. That, or they are just into it.

[[folder: Honey and Darling pain loophole]]
* In the Honey and Darling minigames, you can attack the duo, which will cause them to complain that it hurts, and the timer stops during this, meaning that it's actually to your advantage to do so. What kind of establishment allows a person to attack the hosts with either a bow or straight up explosives? Especially considering they technically reward those who attack them. Surely those sorts of actions should be a call for disqualification, and likely a ban from the place.

** Cremia may also find it difficult to believe that a child like Link would own such a wild and ornery-seeming horse. Hence why, in the correct sequence of events, it’s Romani who gives him the horse, and Cremia is also given a chance to recognize that he’s mature enough to own one.

** In ''OoT'' the Zora, Gorons, and Kokiri are associated with Nayru (goddess of wisdom), Din (goddess of power), and Farore (goddess of courage) respectively due to the spiritual stones, so it makes sense that they might be viewed as being in some way attuned to the assocated virtue. The Deku scrubs aren't the Kokiri, but they are the Terminian counterpart. So it's not that the masks contain the virtues of those specific individuals, just virtues associated with their races as a whole.

** Presumably Cremia is too distraught taking care of her mind wiped sister to even consider horse ownership disputes.

*** Their dialogue is slightly different in the original game, too (“Do you have a sword?” vs. “… A sword?”), seeming to suggest Link tells them in that version.

[[folder: Reclaiming Epona sooner]]
* Since you can get to Romani Ranch on the third day from the onset of the game, why doesn’t Link tell Cremia that Epona belongs to him so that she can let her out of the pen? Why does he need to wait for Romani to do it?

**** Clock Town is full of depictions of the moon with a smiling face, so the ''scary'' part of that is what's unusual. Normally it's a happy-faced moon, but the events of the game have put a bit of a damper on its good cheer.

Adding to "Deku Butler's son" folder.

Added DiffLines:

** Given that both Darmani and Mikau were endeavoring to remedy the troubles plaguing their peoples when they met their fates, it's perhaps fair to assume that the Deku Butler's son was doing much the same before Link's arrival in Termina. However, it seems like the young Scrub elected to confront the source of the problems directly, and pursued the Skull Kid. While Deku youth are by no means mighty, it's demonstrated through the race with the Deku Butler that his son was definitely quick, and would have had no trouble catching up to the villain. Brave though he may have been, he could not have possibly defeated the Skull Kid, and we see the unfortunate results of their confrontation shortly after the game begins.

Adding to "Kokiri Sword" folder.

Added DiffLines:

** Note, also, that Link is carrying a unique shield (the Hero's Shield) alongside it. Given that the standard shields used by Hylian knights are explicitly too large for a child to wield properly, it's not unreasonable to suggest that Hyrule's Royal Family had a shield specially made for Link as thanks for his service to them. It's also likely, then, that they took the opportunity to reforge his sword - one that, after sitting in a box for time untold before being used to slay a rogues gallery of evil beasts, was assuredly in need of a bit of TLC.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


*** The part about Termina's "history" makes the encyclopedia flat-out contradict itself given they also plainly stated that Termina "Ceased to exist". And while the English version did fix the blatant CriticalResearchFailure regarding destroying the Triforce, it still retains all the other errors (such as the aforementioned ignorance of Demise's role in Ganondorf's resurrection). Not to mention their "relationship charts" are a mess: connecting characters who had no interaction and never mentioned each other, not connecting those that did, making up names for characters that didn't have them, and not giving names to characters that do have them.

** It’s possible, while wearing the Stone Mask, to hitch a ride on the boats the Gerudo use to patrol the harbor section of the fortress. And the pirates were out on the sea recently searching for the Zora eggs at Pinnacle Rock. Maybe they made landfall to regroup after their attempt, and Shiro snuck onto the boat then.

** I’d guess it’s because Deku Link can’t close his mouth, meaning he can’t hold his breath in or keep water out. If a boat takes on too much water, it’s going to sink whether it’s made of wood or not.

[[folder:Does wood sink in water?]]
* If Deku Link's body is light enough to skip on the water's surface, why does falling ''into'' the water cause him to instantly sink and drown?

** When she gives you her mask, the Great Fairy tells you it has to be worn so that the Stray Fairies don’t fear you. With that in mind, it’s possible her Stray Fairy is too timid or afraid to travel through the more crowded parts of Clock Town, hence why she sticks to the deserted Laundry Pool by day and makes tracks for East Clock Town at night, presumably in a bid to return home before it gets busy again. This is also why she ''pleads'' with Link to return her to her fountain if you catch her — rather than for exposition’s sake, it’s because she’s genuinely afraid of what you could do to her.
