* AnachronicOrder: ''Wisdom and Courage'' was the first book in the trilogy to be written, even though it takes place second in the trilogy's actual chronology. This is because when MiniJen first started writing it, she had intended for it to be a standalone piece. However, as the story went along, she began to build a trilogy around it, eventually giving birth to ''Blood and Spirit'' and ''Light and Shadow''.

* FreudianTrio: The usual example of this trope used in the rest of the [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda]] is changed up in ''Blood and Spirit'' as far as how Link and Zelda are potrayed (and also the fact that Ganondorf is not in the story). In this instance, the trio is ass follows:
** Link: Impulsive, determined and driven by a desire to keep Zelda safe above all else. (Id)
** Zelda: Works towards the greater good but is also fueled by her love for Link. (Ego)
** Sheik: Cynical, initially cold, and puts lock above emotions most of the time. (Superego)
