*DoorToBefore: Par for the series, you'll be doing lots of backtracking, [[EquipmentBasedProgression as you gain suit uprades]], to revist previous areas. The system of doors and passages are designed to allow you to quickly traverse between levels; thus, preventing tedium.
*DownTheDrain: Maridia is completely submerged. Though, unlike the ones [[TheLegendOfZelda from that other series]], it averts being ThatOneLevel.
*SequenceBreaking: Super Metroid is one of the most well known examples:

**The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtjVlq-uNo "mock ball"]] (aka, the "mach ball") trick allows Samus to move at running speed while in Morphball form, allowing her to reach certain areas without needing the Speed Booster. There are numerous walkthroughs and speedruns on youtube that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRzGoAdNbYs show how]] both tricks can be done.
