* In most ''Zelda'' games that have Cuccos, attacking them too much makes them attack you. Not so here: attack a Cucco enough (in either form), and the screen will fade to black. When it comes back, ''you are the chicken'', albeit for a short while (This is not the case for the Golden Cucco, or the Oocca.).

** Try the Dominion Rod; it even grants an extra cutscene showing Armogohma being literally flattened by the statue's hammer. It looks like it got run over by the world's largest steamroller.
** As Creator/JoshScorcher pointed out in his "Top Ten Spider Bosses" video, that you beat it by controlling a statue to smash it is a very goofy way to defeat it, especially when Armogohma is so frightful.

come. Heck, you actually get ''rewarded'' for doing so, since the guards will drop rupees, health, and arrows when they flee!

Can also be seen as CatharsisFactor, since the proprietor of the game is an outright Jerkass that's blatantly ripping people off, so it feels great to be able to get back at him.
** What makes it even funnier is the fact that Midna doesn't make any attempt to stop you from terrorizing everyone, or preventing you from going into town like this, so it's as if she's getting just as much amusement from it as the player is.

* If one looks closely at Dr. Borville's invoice that Telma gives the player during a particular sidequest, you can see that the not-so-good doctor owes a whopping '''175480000 ruppees''' for her bar. If you do that math, that means that Borville roughly drinks between 77 to 387 beers per ''day''. Who knew Borville would be such a raging alcoholic?

** The Deku Toad grosses her out so badly that she immediately hides in Link's shadow and refuses to offer any hints for beating it. If you summon her anyway, her vocalizations take on a noticeably bitchy tone while she sharply orders you not to bother her again until ''after'' you've dealt with the toad.

* The City in the Sky arc is fairly amusing, given Shad is so overly dramatic every time he can't quite figure out the solution. The best part is that he often walks away and completely misses out on Link figuring it out immediately after.
** Better than that? Once you actually get past the statue and find the Sky Cannon, Shad doesn't walk away and you actually ''[[ButThouMust have]]'' to tell him to get lost this time so you can teleport it to Lake Hylia. His reaction to you asking him to leave is rather amusing due to the pouty face he gives.

* The whole Sumo Wrestling bit. Bo is built up to be well respected by the Gorons for managing to best them in sumo wrestling, and he even tells you that it's due to "a little trick". Cue two matches with Bo and we find out that the secret is...the Iron Boots, ''an incredibly obvious looking thing that nobody in their right mind could easily ignore''. The fact that the game plays this up as nobody having the first clue that the extremely loud pair of boots that stick out like a sore thumb is how Bo cheated is so ridiculous that it's funny.
** One possibility is that everyone ''KNOWS'' you're cheating as it's clearly obvious to anyone that you'd have to be just to even stand up to a Goron, but are just feigning ignorance out of pride to keep up faces. Somehow the thought just makes it even funnier, especially when some of the Gorons threaten you should they find out that you are a cheater.
** Try not wearing the boots for your first match against Gor Coron. No matter what you do, Gor Coron slaps Link so hard that he sails out of the ring.

** It gets funnier later when bringing Prince Ralis to the village. Colin has by now recovered and is hoping to be of help in curing the young Zora. A quick check up on them shows that Beth and Luda are wiping Ralis' face with the same glee they had with Colin, the poor boy reaching out occasionally to help but withdrawing when the girls wipe his face instead. Kid just can't catch a break.

* Despite the gravity of the situation and the important moment it is for Colin, when King Bulblin captures Colin after he pushes Beth out of the way of being trampled, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse of Colin when Bulblin comes up to Barnes shows that he's still awake and aware of the situation, and he looks so hilariously annoyed by the ordeal as though he's thinking to himself "....this shit again?"
** As badass as it is to see Link charging into Kakariko Village ready to save Colin, the {{Death Glare}} is both awesome and hilarious as you know he's essentially saying "That's it, I'm kicking your ass all over Hyrule Field!"
