History TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild / TropesHToM

** Somewhat averted, but the armor shop in Gerudo Town sells Gerudo Vai clothing... which you need to wear to get into Gerudo Town in the first place. Instead, you must track down an NPC outside the town who will sell you the same set of clothes.

** Rito Village uses an extended version of the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Dragon Roost Island theme.]]

* HailfirePeaks:
** A somewhat subdued example occurs with the Gerudo Highlands, which are always freezing no matter the time of day, right next to the Gerudo desert, which gets up to sweltering temperatures in the afternoon. Although this is less extreme than many video games, it's still a bit strange to watch the thermometer rise or drop by fifty or sixty degrees when stepping from one region to the other.
** More prominently, Death Mountain and Hebra Peak are comparable in altitude, are visible from each other's peaks, and fit this dichotomy perfectly. Death Mountain is so hot that it averts ConvectionSchmonvection and requires some means of fire resistance for Link to traverse through, and Hebra Peak likewise will chill Link to the bone without adequate thermal protections.

** More prominently, Death Mountain and Mount Lanayru are comparable in altitude, are visible from each other's peaks, and fit this dichotomy perfectly. Death Mountain is so hot that it averts ConvectionSchmonvection and requires some means of fire resistance for Link to traverse through, and Mount Lanayru likewise will chill Link to the bone without adequate thermal protections.

* InexplicablyPreservedDungeonMeat: Averted until [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Hyrule Castle:]] In the Dining Hall, Link can find several foodstuffs strewn about the ruined tables, with a Raw Gourmet Meat and a Raw Whole Bird being among them. Despite being in a Malice- and monster-infested castle, ''and'' the fact that they’ve been sitting out in the open for Hylia-knows-how-long, possibly a whole '''[[UpToEleven century,]]''' they’re perfectly safe for consumption. Maybe the monsters use the place as food storage themselves?

* HellIsThatNoise: The unnatural empty gurgling sound that can be heard in the presence of Malice. With headphones on, it becomes clear that it's not a 3D positional sound: it's ''in Link's head''.

** Death Mountain's ambient piano theme is the same theme from the final dungeon all the way back in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI the original game.]]

* LightningBruiser: Lynels. Even the base Red-tier Lynels hit like a freight train, move scary fast, and have more HP than [[DemonicSpiders Guardian Stalkers]].

* HotAmazon: Gerudo stand a good foot or two taller than Hylians and are noted for their beauty. They're also quite muscular and have very defined abs.

** Zora's Domain has a much quieter version of the theme that appeared in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]],'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]].''

** The Great Fairy Fountains' theme is nearly identical to the traditional Great Fairy Fountain used since ''A Link to the Past'', this time led with piano.

** There are many ways to defeat a Guardian, but by far the most efficient is to reflect its beam attack back at it. To quantify this, if a beam hits Link without armor it does about 24 damage, or six hearts worth, whereas if it's reflected back to a Guardian's eye it does a whopping ''500'' damage, enough to one-shot a static Guardian and take away 1/3 of the health of a Stalker.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: Unlike previous games, Link has to rely on scavenging and cooking food in order to restore his health rather than simply recovering with heart pick-ups.

* MoneySink: There are several ways of spending vast sums of rupees that are not at all necessary to a full enjoyment of the game. Furnishing your house for 1400 (on top of the 3,000 to buy it in the first place) is worthwhile only for players who [[AnInteriorDecoratorIsYou enjoy interior decorating]], while unlocking all four Great Fairy Fountains gets very pricey, the last costing a whopping 10,000 rupees, when any fairy boosts beyond the first two are of lesser benefit. There's also the Horse God fountain (1,000 rp to unlock, additional 1,000 per use) who is only valuable if a particularly beloved horse dies. Finally, there are several armor sets that can be quite pricey, and it's seldom necessary to buy the whole set. Adding in the ability to dye clothes means there's incentive to buy multiple copies of the same set at further cost (though the clothing inventory, while generous, can hit a limit, and it can't be expanded by Hestu).
* MoneySpider: Averted for the first time in the series, as monsters do not inexplicably drop Rupees when defeated, only weapons and body parts (which ''can'' be ''sold'' for rupees, if you wish). The lone exception are the Yiga Clan members, who are humans, and thus could reasonably be expected to be carrying some money with them. Downplayed in the case of Silver and Gold monsters, who do drop gemstones; not money exactly, but still a valuable object that they have no actual need for.

*** Impa's family has guarded a shrine orb for several generations, and it's considered a sacred heirloom to the point where not even Link is allowed to touch it until [[spoiler:they found out he is supposed to use it to unlock a shrine after he completes all sidequests in the Journal of Various Worries]]. Paya, who took over from her grandmother Impa, explains how long the orb has been in the family, though it's likely far longer than what it implies given how LongLived the Sheikah are compared to Hylians:

* LineageLadder: At Riverside Stable, Gotter noticeably describes his ancestor as his "grandfather's grandfather", who was a chef at the castle one hundred years ago when it was still in operation. Likewise, [[GenerationXerox Gotter is also a cook]], and he just loves to indulge himself in food to the point where he requests Link to look for the royal cookbook for recipes twice.

* InNameOnly: The Canadian French language track is simply the European French one with a few altered lines.

* HotAmazoness: Gerudo stand a good foot or two taller than Hylians and are noted for their beauty. They're also quite muscular and have very defined abs.
