*** Aw, but you've forgotten the end of that scene -- as the Tower of the Gods rises out of the sky, Link crashes right into it- splat!- and falls into the water. The [[ExpositionFairy King of Red Lions]] just talks at him like nothing's wrong and tells him to get going. Honestly, it's like they decided on the graphics style just for the slapstick and ending.

* On Windfall Island, you can play a Battleship-like game in a shop for a Piece of Heart, complete with sound effects being provided by the very bored man who runs the place. The "splooooosh!" sound he makes every time you strike an empty square had both my dad and me in stitches.

** His attempt to portray the children you saved is also hilarious, but pales before his antics at the cannon minigame on another island. Win there and he plays the role of a flirtatious young woman.....Which happens to be Tetra.
* Despite the [[NightmareFuel intimidating-looking]] Darknuts, the fierceness is lost when you remove their helmets and hit their heads with a boomerang, making them [[{{CirclingBirdies}} see stars]].

** Especially that honking sound a Miniblin makes when you squash it with the Skull Hammer.
*** Given how much annoyance and NightmareFuel those things provide, that can also slip into MostWonderfulSound territory.

** Heck, throwing Medli or Makar into a wall is pretty funny, whether on purpose or on accident (maybe even more so if you discover you can do it by accident). [[VideogameCrueltyPotential Mean, yes]], but still pretty funny, since you can do it over and over again without actually hurting them (as they have no LifeMeter).

* The early scene in ''Wind Waker'' where the pirates reveal ''exactly'' how they plan to get Link into the Forbidden Fortress may well be one of the ''funniest'' things in the entire Zelda universe, bar none. Link needs to get inside, but the place is swarming with patrol boats. So what do they do? Stick Link in a barrel, put him on a catapult, and wish him "Bon voyage!" Seriously. The look(s) on Link's face during the countdown itself are ''priceless'' -- but the pure slapstick of him splatting into the wall on the other side once they launch him is pretty good too. (The only thing that's not funny is the [[StealthBasedMission stealth-due-to-lost-sword]] that follows.)

* The NewGamePlus bonus of not wearing the traditional green outfit is introduced in the most hilarious of fashions. Link's grandmother hands him nothing and he has this miserable look on his face. She asks him what's wrong; it's apparently made of a special material that only the honest can see - which becomes a running gag as you get to see which characters in the game are honest. The ItemGet text is confused by trying to say "Link got... nothing? wait..." and Link pretends to put the clothing over his pajamas and then you realise throughout the whole game Link was wearing his pajamas underneath the green outfit!
