** The desert region is very hot, which will sap Link's health unless he has protection from the heat. There's a certain set of clothes Link can obtain, which looks like something a person living in a real life desert would wear to beat the heat, and the clothes in the game give a bonus of heat resistance when the whole set is worn. Not only that, but going to the desert at night causes Link to feel chilly, just like how real life deserts can get extremely cold.

Added DiffLines:

** The gaits of the various animals, from scuttling lizards to striding herons to horses' shifts from walk to trot to canter to gallop, are amazingly realistic recreations of true animal locomotion. Even Vah Naboris's gait is the pace of a real camel - alternating between both left legs and both right legs - rather than mimicking the horses' walk.

* ScratchDamage: If your current armor exceeds the power of an enemy's attack, it will still inflict one quarter-heart of damage. Guardian beams have a much higher "scratch damage" of two hearts (and even reducing it to that is hard), so they never stop being a threat.

Added DiffLines:

** Keeses attack by headbutting Link (being fifty percent head), so a parry will wreck them for free.

* {{Pilgrimage}}: The flashbacks show Princess Zelda traveling to the shrines of the goddesses in the hopes of awakening the divine power that is her birthright.

Crosswicking new trope.

Added DiffLines:

* StatOverflow:
** Sleeping in a soft bed will not only revitalize you, but also grant you one yellow heart above your normal red hearts. Once lost, you can no longer regain it.
** Certain "hearty" and "enduring" food items can temporarily grant a few extra hearts and stamina wheels respectively in addition to fully restoring the respective gauges.
** Mipha's Grace replenishes all your hearts and gives you up to five extra hearts once you run out of hearts.

Added DiffLines:

* PenultimateWeapon:
** The Bow of Light you can acquire during the fight with [[spoiler:Dark Beast]] Ganon. This doubles as the ''only'' means of damaging Ganon in this fight, if you didn't get the Master Sword, didn't hoard [[CoolButInefficient Ancient Arrows]], and don't have the right kind of [[{{Toys/Amiibo}} amiibo]]; thus, it's also an EmergencyWeapon.
** Royal Guard weapons are invariably the strongest of their weapon type, but they can only be found in [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Hyrule Castle]], where they must be taken from Black Moblins or Lizalfos who will gladly [[OneHitKill use them against Link]]. Their durability is on par with Spiked Boko Gear, but they're quite serviceable when whittling down a larger enemy (such as Calamity Ganon), and a few have the rare distinction of being tradable for stuff you can sell.

The Sheikah were idiots


* NeglectfulPrecursors: Ten thousand years ago the Sheikah built an army of nigh-unstoppable, semi-autonomous robots and buried them underground, but forgot to install antivirus, an emergency shut off feature, or proper instructions.

[[spoiler:In fact, they were ''so'' confident that Calamity Ganon wouldn't have figured out the robots, that they installed five giant auto-deployment systems far beneath Hyrule Castle that would automatically emerge if Calamity Ganon ever came out; in other words, Hyrule wasted its time in digging up the smaller robots, but also didn't damn itself ''much'' more by doing so.]]

* NonStandardGameOver: Trying to pull the Master Sword out of its pedestal if Link doesn't have at least 13 normal hearts will kill him on any attempt after the first. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that there is no unique cutscene, dialogue or anything similar that happens as a result of dying this way. Link simply ragdolls as if he were fatally hit by an enemy attack.

Fixing indentation, Word cruft


*** On that note, the Heat Resistance required for Eldin and the Heat Resistance required for the Gerudo Desert are different. In Eldin, the atmosphere is being ignited by the close proximity to lava, so the "Flame Guard" type prevents that sort of ''conduction'' and ''convection''. In Gerudo, the atmosphere is thin enough (due to low humidity) that the Sun is what's superheating Link, so the standard Heat Resistance protects against its ''radiation''.

* SituationalSword: The Master Sword has an above average power of 30 at all times, and whenever it "breaks", it regenerates in just ten minutes. However, when put up against foes under the direct control of the Calamity, or Calamity Ganon itself, its strength DOUBLES and it gains a massive durability boost, which can make taking out the Blight Ganons pretty much trivial. In {{DLC}}, completing the Trial of the Sword [[AvertedTrope averts]] this by enhancing the Master Sword, giving it a permanent strength stat of 60 and high durability.
