History Funny / TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker

** That scene is closely rivaled by the cutscene after Link places all three pearls of the goddesses. After placing the last pearl, the statue [[PreExplosionGlow begins radiating beams of light]]. Link naturally yells and dives for cover moments before the statue... does nothing. Cut to Link's bewildered reaction, after which he goes back to inspect the sta-KABOOM! "[=WAAAAAAaaaaaaaa...=]" [[ATwinkleInTheSky *ding*]]

** Even funnier- as the Tower of Gods rises, dramatic music plays in the background, [[MoodWhiplash cutting off suddenly as Link impacts.]]
* When you get 30 points in Beedle's ship shop, you get the Complimentary ID. Show it to Beedle, and he... [[spoiler:compliments you.]]l

** What the [[spoiler:compliment does is that it fully heals Link but its so universally useless as you have other cheaper and easier methods of healing that its practically worthless in the long run.]]
** Unless, of course, [[spoiler:you use it on [[NintendoHard the HD version's Hero Mode]] where hearts are scarce; what was once the most useless item in the game suddenly turns into a ticket to ''staying alive''.]]

* The Re-Deads have amusing deaths. Instead of just melting away like in [=OoT=], they randomly explode after ten, fifteen seconds.

** Made funnier due to her ending every other sentence by addressing Link as some variation of "my child" or "young one", saving the aforementioned flirting for the very end. You know just by her position alone that despite her demure appearance, there's still a significant age gap between the two of them...but her own dialogue tells us that ''she's'' just as aware of the implications!

* The first meeting with the Deku Tree. He sees how Link is dressed and starts speaking ancient Hylian, which only he, the other spirits, Medli, and the King of Red Lions [[spoiler:actually King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]] can even understand nowadays. After a few lines of unintelligible dialogue, it cuts to Link, slackjawed and having no idea what he's supposed to say.

** Oh, but you can go so much further! Target it and throw your boomerang at it--its head'll spin on its socket, and it'll have to stop and knock it back into place.

** Or lure them close together so that they accidentally hit one another trying to attack you. After a couple of hits they'll lose their temper and hit their fellows in revenge!
* 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!

** Not only that, but guess who can also see it. '''GANONDORF'''.

** The funniness is pumped up when you use the Magic Shield in the second quest: It forms an outline of the Hero's Clothes (hat and all). Developer's oversight or FridgeBrilliance?

** If you do it just right, you can also make Link fall on his bum. But even if you don't manage either, the sounds he make! They're hilarious!

* The sheer number of uses for the All-Purpose Bait. Just try using it on [[spoiler: Snake!Puppet Ganon]].

* After conducting the Wind God's Aria with Makar the first time, the player can hear a round of applause, even though there is no visible audience onscreen. Then Link and Fado, who apparently can hear it too [[BreakingTheFourthWall bow to the player]], who may presumably be the one who's applauding.

** Also, related to the auction, you may notice that one of the Treasure Charts that gets put up on the block has a starting bid of only five Rupees. (The other chart starts off at around 40 or so.) The sunken chest this chart leads to is near Windfall Island itself. Its contents? [[spoiler: A single ''Green Rupee''.]] [[JokeItem Better collect lots of them!]]

* Ganondorf's expression after [[spoiler: Komali and Quill swoop in to snatch Link and Tetra right out from under him.]] It's like a mixture of disappointment and him asking himself, "Wait, what just happened?"

* Makar's instrument is actually a violin, but because he's so tiny he has to play it like a cello. He uses a stick over twice as tall as he is for a bow.

* The early scene in ''Wind Waker'' where the pirates reveal ''exactly'' how they plan to get Link into the Forsaken Fortress may well be one of the ''funniest'' things in the entire Zelda universe, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrcQnugPpYk 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-]][[NoGearLevel lost-sword]] that follows.)

** 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).

* During a sneaking mission, someone you're following notices your footsteps. What does Link do to get out of that one? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cad971KHQfY He meows.]]

* Speaking of hilarious poses, when Link picks up one of those giant stone heads, don't throw it until you've turned him to face the camera.

* Link's face when a Great Fairy doubles his magic meter.

* The first meeting with the Deku Tree. He sees how Link is dressed and starts speaking ancient Hylian, which only he and the other spirits can even understand nowadays. After a few lines of unintelligible dialogue, it cuts to Link, slackjawed and having no idea what he's supposed to say.

** After winning an auction, one of the ladies can ask Link if she can adopt him.

* Participate in an auction. Bid sufficiently higher than the last bid (about 20 Rupees higher should do it) and watch the [[CirclingBirdies stunned faces]].

* What happens when you attack a Moblin in the rear (made all the more amusing due to the fact that it's quite a beefy-looking enemy): it ''''''''hops about clutching its ass, with [[SparklingStreamOfTears tears streaming from its eyes]].''''''''
