Added DiffLines:

* NoSenseOfDirection: In ''Tears of the Kingdom'', if you ignore the hints to meet Impa at New Serres Stable and explore elsewhere instead, you will find him all over the map. If spoken to in regions that are way off target, he will admit that he is hopelessly lost.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Downplayed, as the extent of his extremism is simply being an abusive parent at worst; still bad but not nearly as horrible as most examples of this trope. He was only acting as stern to Zelda as he did because he believed it was the only way he could awaken her divine magic. Said magic was vital to adverting the Calamity and thus saving Hyrule, lest thousands of innocent lives be lost and the kingdom be destroyed; and Zelda was the only one who could do it. . He and his daughter have the fate of the kingdom in their hands (a mountain of pressure) and worst yet is the fact that Zelda's mother, the only person who could have taught Zelda how to use her magic, died before she could do so, leaving no clear options in exactly how do go about teaching Zelda.

*AntiHero: He is a caring king who has is subjects best interests in mind and wants to save his kingdom, and thus thousands of innocent lives, from a then-impending Calamity. The problem is he is daughter is the key to saving the kingdom and he ended up being overly stern and harsh to Zelda to get her to awaken her divine powers. He had no clear idea how he was supposed to otherwise, as the only person who could have taught Zelda, her mother, died before she could teach Zelda.

* EarthyBarefootCharacter: Befitting her pure and earthy nature, Queen Sonia is a barefooter.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: She immediately trusted Zelda the moment she saw the time-displaced princess while Rauru took some time before agreeing with her. She also could tell that Zelda was worrying about more things other than just trying to go back to the future, with Rauru then remarking that it's impossible to keep secrets from her. She, along with Zelda, also knew Ganondorf was bad news and that his minion was masquerading as Zelda to assassinate her.
--> '''Sonia''': Oh? I believed [Zelda] right away. You needed the secret stone as proof, Rauru?

* TogetherInDeath: She reunites with her husband, Rauru, at the end of ''Tears of the Kingdom'' as they channel their powers through Link to restore Link and Zelda's bodies back to normal. They then pass on to the afterlife, holding hands.

Wasn't sure where else to discuss some of these things

Added DiffLines:

* NoSell: The main utility of Koltin's armor offerings is to avoid taking damage entirely, through nonstandard means. The Masks make it so enemies won't attack Link (unless Link attacks first), letting him slip through infested places. Each Mystic set piece reduces whatever damage gets through Link's Defense by a set amount, at the cost of [[MoneySink 10 Rupees per quarter-Heart saved]]. None of these pieces can be upgraded; this makes the Masks something to switch away from if you're not CherryTapping, and it makes the Mystic pieces [[CrutchCharacter scale unfavorably with 4-star gear]], but the costumes let Link ignore or mess around with lesser threats.


Added DiffLines:

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: In ''Tears of the Kingdom'', she essentially bribes Link with the Froggy set, which lets him climb slick surfaces unimpeded if he wears all three pieces. Granted, this entails visiting every Stable and handling the side adventures there, covering a vast portion of the Hyrule map in the process.

* ArcherArchetype: He is stated to be a skilled archer, and has bow and arrow with him. However, he is more preoccupied with his Cuccos than practicing his skills, a fact that his wife Rola despises.

Cado

Added DiffLines:

* PuzzleReset: Gather up Cado's seven "lost" Cuccos for his sidequest, and they'll all be back where they were when you leave and return. Does Cado mind? No; he even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, saying that his Cuccos are playing happily "because of you".


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Downplayed. Three of Cado's ten Cuccos are already in the pen for his sidequest, and he'll comment on their absence if you mischievously take them out. However, the three [[PuzzleReset will find their way back to the pen if you leave and come back]], so you can't amplify Cado's torment forever.

* CargoCult: One of the Sheikah's sacred relics is a ball, like the ones found in Ancient Shrines, which has been in Kakariko Village for around 10,000 years. They have a prophecy that eventually ''some'' hero will earn the right to take it, and Impa amusingly assumes it's ''not'' Link [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsGun at first]]]].



* FlawedPrototype: The Sheikah-made Royal Guard set of weapons are noted to be more powerful than the traditional Hylian Royal weapons, but they were also built with critical design flaws, explaining their lack of durability.

Cottla scares me

Added DiffLines:

* ExtremeOmnivore: Cottla calls Rock Salt "crunchy crunchables" and "her secret treasure", implying that she ''eats'' them while no one else is looking. It's a nice ingredient for cooking, but not even Link will eat it straight-up.

The Fatal Flaw example wasn't about a character trait, so I made it about a character trait


* FatalFlaw: His harsh, rigidly traditionalist methods on awakening Zelda’s holy powers brought a rift in their relationship along with increasing Zelda’s self doubt and indirectly causing the downfall of Hyrule and the near destruction of the world along with the deaths of himself and the four Champions and Link nearly dying. He’s shown to recognize his flaws and regrets how he handled things and was planning to reconcile with her.

After doing all that he could, by dedicating the downfall of Hyrule entire Kingdom to excavating the Sheikah tech and summoning the near destruction of the world along with the deaths of himself and the four five Champions and Link nearly dying. He’s shown to recognize his flaws and regrets how he handled (Link included), the King looked for things he ''couldn't'' control and was planning began hammering at those. Who cared if Zelda wanted to reconcile help with her.the Sheikah tech? Anyone studious enough for the task, such as Purah and Robbie, could fill Zelda's spot; only Zelda could invoke the Goddess's powers, though, and Zelda hadn't shown any results. The King's prodding merely transferred some of his own anxiety onto Zelda [[PerformanceAnxiety in a different form]], making her less emotionally-prepared for when the Calamity came, resulting in a bigger fallout than what would have happened otherwise.
