Added DiffLines:

* RetCanon: All three of Shigoto's manga have Link with inaccurate hair colors. First he's a redhead, then a blond, and next he has pink hair; [[YouDontLookLikeYou these are all the same Link by the way]]. Link was made into a blond for ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' and has been so since, and the in-game sprites show Link with pink hair due to graphical troubles.

* RetCanon: [[spoiler: The concept Link being mentored by a SpiritAdvisor of a previous hero who wielded the Master Sword would appear in a canon game in ''Twilight Princess''. Going by Nintendo's official timeline, both spirit advisors would be the same person on different timelines.]] In addition, the previous Hero who wielded the Master Sword in a battle against Ganon, only to lose to the Great King of Evil, would later become canon via the Downfall Timeline, in which the Hero of Time lost against Ganon despite fighting him to the bitter end.

** The Seven Sages fighting Ganon in the Imprisoning War would finally be seen ingame in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom Tears of the Kingdom]]'', where they, Rarau, his older sister Mineru, and a time-displaced Zelda would fight Ganondorf to the bitter end, until Rarau scarifies himself to seal Ganondorf away.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Under the impression that Link is a servant of Agahnim, Zelda picks up a katana and actually manages to catch the hero off guard. Link is unable to defeat her directly, and takes advantage of Agahnim's sudden appearance [[TheKindnapper to bring her to safety]].

* PsychicLink: ([[JustForPun No pun intended.]]) Link and Zelda are brought together by her telepathic distress call, as in the game. In at least Himekawa's version, they then continue to maintain their psychic bond throughout much of the story. Averted in the Cagiva version where Link is never contacted by Zelda, but instead, is given a mission to save Zelda by the leader of the knights.

** Ganon being revived incorrectly would later make its way into the game via the ''Oracle'' games in which Twinrova/Koume and Kotake have to sacrifice themselves to light the Flame of Despair instead of Zelda after they lose to Link, while in ''Breath of the Wild'', Zelda sabotages Ganon's Calamity form's revival long enough for Link to defeat him.



* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Ganon becomes one at the end of Zelda 2 Vol. 3. After he obtains power from the Triforce of Power and takes to the skies, Link obtains an InfinityPlusOneSword by combinging all three pieces with the Magic Sword, making it into a proto-Master Sword. Link then cuts off Ganon's wings and burries him under a boulder with the Power Glove, then stabs through the boulder with the sword, making sure that Ganon will never return. After he leaves Ganon's tomb, the now purified River Devil (a giant salamander in this adaptation) finds Link's discarded flute and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2g83Z_XSrk plays a bit of music]].]]

* RetCanon: Ganondorf's appearance in the manga differs greatly than how Ishinomori depicted him. Here he is shown as a muscular man in black armor and skilled with a sword, very much like how Ganondorf would be presented in all games following ''Ocarina of Time''.
