Berserk Button: Never call Tatl "Navi". Like Navi, she doesn't have any patience with morons like Link. Link, of course, refuses to learn that his new partner's name is Tatl.
Link: Then you should have gone before you left!
Uncle Fanboy can't stand filler episodes.
Big "NO!": At the end of the opening dream sequence.
Link: I mean he didn't have a penis so technically he didn't stick anything anywhere but it was the fact he was trying frightened me.
Brain Bleach: Episode 5 after looking into AdamWestsLapdog's room.
Link: Ah! My virgin eyes!
Brick Joke: In the last episode of OoT, Ganondorf recognises the room he's been banished to as the room seen in episode five.
Single-episode variant in episode 2 of Majora's Mask. Link spends a few minutes near the beginning obsessing over the dead tree in the tunnel (you know the one), and how it "looks so sad". Tatl finally snaps him out of it, and they proceed through the first three-day cycle. They eventually get to the clock tower, where Skull Kid prompts them to look up, and the episode ends with:
Link: Holy sweet zombie Jesus, look at the moon! It's got a face! And it looks so sad...
Man on Flying Carpet: "I am not this greatBin Laden that you speak of. I am... American businessman. Osama... Erm... Smith. See! I drive American Mustang. (Holds up scroll with strange symbols.) And look: English."
Child's Play: adamwestslapdog promised to make a whole "Party, Party, Party" song if people donated enough. Enough was raised... but he has admitted severely times that he's lazy.
Chuck Norris: One of the masks in Majora's Mask turns Link into him.
Dangerously Genre Savvy: The Deku Princess knows that the palace guards won't be enough to stop the Hero of Time, so she calls in a number of other (increasingly large) forces to help, concluding with the Galactic Empire. Link still wins.
Deadpan Snarker: Navi, and especially Tatl. Link's idiocy is just snark fodder.
Hammerspace: Lampshaded when Link asks where he's been keeping all his coins.
Idiot Hero: For starters Link thought the Deku Tree just had a funny last name instead of an actual tree.
The biggest example of Link being an idiot is in the second to last episode where Sheik has something very important to tell Link and Zelda appears in his place... and Link tells her to wait because Sheik will be back any moment to tell him the important thing. Then after Ganondorf kidnaps Zelda his brain starts working and he decides that after Sheik vanished, Zelda appeared who was then kidnapped by Ganon... which means Sheik was Ganon all along!Which does make some sense.
Incredibly Lame Pun: There are some with possibly the most triumphant example being the one involving SAW in episode 16 of Ocarina Of Time. The creator apologized for this one.
MacGuffin: The medallions which you got in the game are parodied for being that by being called "oversized novelty coins".
Also the sacred stones, which Zelda wants for no reason other than they look pretty.
Minor Flaw, Major Breakup: Link almost stayed with Saria before his adventure even began but run away after Saria asked if he would want to watch Whoopi Goldberg movies with him.
Saria: "Why does no one likes Whoopi Goldberg except me?"
He also assumes Nabooru has man hands as soon as he picks up the Silver Gauntlets.
Music for Courage: Played with, since it's Ganondorf who played the uplifting music after Zelda complained that he was playing dark music for twenty minutes.
Ingo and Talon say they aren't Luigi and Mario... but they are in the flashback...
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Link with setting the Deku Tree on fire and the entire forest, accidentally kills the pet Dodongo, killing Lord Jabu Jabu, accidentally steals Epona because he can't get off and causes the ranch to go bankrupt, leaves the Gorons to die in the Fire Temple, and leaves some bombs in the volcano which causes it to erupt and sets fire to the entire town of Kakariko Village.
In Majora's Mask, Link attacks Majora with a snot bubble- right before he was going to make a Face Heel Turn- causing him to continue with destroying the world, goes on a Goron race to get a bottle and causes a rock-slide crushing a scientist who had cured all diseases but he went out to play with his daughter before he wrote it down. He also managed to "rescue" a fish from drowning at the Great Bay. He also killed the Skeleton King who makes it quite clear that sunlight is his one weakness after he said he and his unbeatable army would help kill Skullkid.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Invoked in the first minutes of episode six of Majora's Mask with a big battle being announced but not shown since "obviously though, a fight scene as spectacular like this could never appear in such a low-budged internet video such as this.". We only get to see a shot of a monkey riding a bicycle.
Only Sane Man: Navi plays this role with Tatl taking over for Majora's Mask.
Paper-Thin Disguise: Navi immediately recognizes who Sheik is but is shot down by Link.
Running Gag: Link still believing that Tatl is in fact Navi.
Schizo Tech: Aside from the actual occasions of this in the original games, a lot of things from our modern world has found their way into the Fantasy Counterpart Culture.
Selective Obliviousness: Link is stupid but he does have his smart moments. He openly ignores anything Zelda says that implies she isn't his girlfriend.
Zelda: I'm going to throw you in the dungeon.
Link: Aw, you're so sweet. Did you hear that, Navi? She's giving us a room.
Self-Deprecation: Lots, mainly his editing, voiceacting, and catchphrases.
Who's Laughing Now?: People called Dande mad for digging up graves for an underground race course but then Link visits him. Subverted since Navi immediately points out that it's still completely insane.
Yank the Dog's Chain: Majora's Mask, episode 12, Link guesses that the next temple is through the zombie fort and learns they're in opposite directions... and then that the key to the temple is in the boss chamber in the fort
You Have to Burn the Web: Unfortunately, the Deku Tree (and the rest of the Kokiri Forest) also happened to be flammable.
Biggoron: ''"My name is Biggoron, guardian of this temple and I say: none shall pass. Especially any heroes of time who stole the sword from me in the last series."
xanauzumaki's version includes examples of the following tropes:
A Date with Rosie Palms: Link from Ocarina of Time Abridged is known to be a chronic masturbator.
And in a deleted Twilight Princess Abridged scene, so is Dangoro.
ZANT: Don’t even bother struggling, Midna. You’re outnumbered.
MIDNA: What do you mean, outnumbered? There’s two of us and only one of you.
ZANT: Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong. There’s the two of you versus me and my twenty-seven multiple personalities!
VOICES IN ZANT’S HEAD: That’s right, you tell her!
Hey, shut up and get back in my head!
Why don’t you shut up and get back in MY head?!
We have the same head, stupid!
You’re stupid!
No, you’re stupid!
No you’re stupid!
Zant, dinner’s almost ready.
Mom! Shut up, I’m in the middle of something right now!
AND IF YOU INTERRUPT ME AGAIN I’M GOING TO SLICE YOU OPEN AND FEAST ON YOUR ENTRIALS, AND THEN I’LL SLIT YOUR THROAT AND DRINK THE BLOOD FROM YOUR VEINS!
And sing a song about cultural equality! “It’s a small world after all, It’s a small world after all-”
STOP SINGING!
And don’t tell me to shut up! You shut up!
No YOU shut up!
EVERYBODY, JUST SHUT UP!
MIDNA: …………………I can’t tell whether that was incredibly funny or just plain terrifying.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Although Xana voices everyone, the "voices" of quite a few characters appear in the wrong series. For example, when Link meets Sheik, one of the voices in Sheik's head sounds very much like Zant from Twilight Princess Abridged.
Also, many of the characters Xana voices sound extremely similar to Family Guy characters, for some reason. Seriously, just compare Stewie's voice to...anyone.
Never Trust a Trailer: When encountering Fyrus, Link expects the epic showdown that he saw in a trailer for the actual game... and then the battle itself ends up being completely anticlimactic.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Zora's Domain is frozen over in Twilight Princess Abridged, Link thinks that using a giant flaming boulder from Death Mountain will melt the ice. It actually does that... and ends up wiping out the Zora race in the process.
Rutela, obviously, is not pleased.
Only Sane Man: Link could very well be the only sane character in Ocarina of Time Abridged.
Tatl could also be the Only Sane Fairy.
Paper-Thin Disguise: Link pretty much knows who Sheik is about ten seconds after her introduction.
Spoiler alert!
Navi, you were supposed to say it before I said her name.
Patchwork Map: Lampshaded in episode 11 of Twilight Princess Abridged.
Link: What the hell? The desert is located right next to Lake Hylia?
Auru: Hell yeah!
Link: Is it even geographically possible for those two completely different climates to be located right next to each other without any kind of natural transition at all?
Auru: Well, in the land of Hyrule it is! In fact, if you walk through a door in Zora's Domain and keep walkin' for about two meters, you'll end up in a snowy mountain region!
Link: What the hell is wrong with the geography of this game?
Auru: Look, kid... there's a lot of things wrong with this game besides the geography.
Real Life Writes the Plot: Which could explain why the opening conversation in episode 13 of Twilight Princess Abridged revolves around nothing but wisdom teeth.
Reason You Suck Speech: Midna gives a really big one at the end of Twilight Princess Abridged.
Also, Link from Ocarina of Time Abridged gives one to Navi.
Happy Mask Salesman:Reality is my bitch, and i keep my pimp hand strong.
Remembered I Could Fly: To get from the Hyrule Castle dungeon to Princess Zelda's room, Midna suggests navigating through the sewers and traversing the rooftops, and Link actually does all this... only for Midna to remember at the last minute that she could have teleported him there and saved him all the trouble.
Link: I... hate you... so much...
There are also a few episodes of Ocarina of Time Abridged where Navi suddenly remembers that she could actually fly.
Sassy Black Woman: In a deleted Twilight Princess Abridged scene, Telma is depicted as this.
Shout Out: The guy sitting on the magic carpet in the middle of the Haunted Wasteland selling Bombchus is implied to be the ancestor of Coro, the guy with the afro in Faron Woods who sells Link a Lantern and Lantern Oil in Twilight Princess.
They even make an appearance in Ocarina of Time Abridged too. Mayor Bo appears as either himself or Rauru, and Zant makes an appearance as the voice in Princess Zelda's head!
Stalker with a Crush: Saria. Trust me, you do not want to know what she made that ocarina from.
...Well, at least to Link and Midna. Everyone else can clearly understand what he's saying, though.
Throw It In: Several examples, though the biggest one is probably Midna mistakenly calling the Mirror Shards "Fused Shadows" in an episode. It eventually turned into a Running Gag.
Weaksauce Weakness: "You can't harm the invincible Majora! [...] Aaaagh! Bubbles! My one weakness!"
A Wizard Did It: Fairies can't be killed by traditional means! Why? Magic!
Link would normally not be able to survive a fall down a giant hole at the beginning of Majora's Mask Abridged, but that flower broke his fall. What is that flower made of? Magic!
Skull Kid: I guess magic really is the answer to everything!
Yandere: Saria. She made an ocarina out of one of her ribs.
"Its okay! Girls have an extra rib anyways!"
Yank the Dog's Chain: When Link asks random game characters for the location of the Hidden Village, the Hero's Shade is excited, rejoicing that after thirteen episodes he'll finally have his time in the spotlight... but then Link decides to ask someone else instead.
Idiot Hero / Too Dumb to Live: Link. Every other character in the series has good reason to call him a dumbass.
Leitmotif: The Rito postman's unofficial theme is "Please Mr. Postman". The characters can't help but sing it whenever he's around, much to his annoyance.
The evil train's theme seems to be "Crazy Train".
Take That: One episode of Phantom Hourglass Abridged is a massive one against WMG.
has already finished an abridged series based on Ocarina Of Time, and is currently working on one for Majora's Mask. xanauzumaki
