* DifficultButAwesome: The miniboss of the Sword and Shield Maze, Frypolar, can be defeated by hitting its ice form with Ember Seeds, but the Owl Statue outside its room hints at another method: hitting its ice spikes with Mystery Seeds, then using the Power Bracelet to throw them at its fire form. The boss moves quickly, getting hit by anything while holding the spike makes you drop it, and the spike has to land on the boss to deal damage, so this is hard to pull off, but doing so ''twice'' will kill it (as opposed to 20+ Ember Seeds, and equally many Mystery Seeds if forcing its element swaps).

* ChekhovsGag: When the Tokay steal all of Link's items upon his arrival on Crescent Island (which happens in the past), he eventually gets all of them back with the exception of his Wooden Shield, though he can buy a new shield from a Business Scrub on the island. At first, this just seems to be a reference to how Link almost always has to just buy a shield instead of receiving one for free. But after acquiring the Mermaid Suit, diving near the island ''in the present'' allows him to find a cave where a Tokay gives him a "piece of driftwood" that he found a long time ago and has been polishing for many years, making it shiny; this is how the Iron Shield (or in a linked game, the Mirror Shield if the linked shield upgrade was already acquired) is obtained. The Tokay that took Link's shield went somewhere so remote that Link wasn't able to get it back until centuries later!

** Even ignoring the question of canonical order within the pair, these games have some issues fitting into the official timeline. ''Literature/HyruleHistoria'' places them in the Downfall branch as interquels between ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]]'', all featuring the same incarnation of Link. However, Zelda seems to know Link only by reputation in a linked game. To make matters worse, ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'' seems to offer up yet more contradictions. In the opening animations for the ''Oracle'' games, Link is shown approaching the completed Triforce in Hyrule Castle, yet Ganon somehow came back into possession of the Triforce of Power before ''A Link Between Worlds'' started. The latter game also makes no mention of Ganon getting resurrected successfully since his defeat in ''A Link to the Past''; even discounting [[spoiler:Twinrova's attempt in a linked game]], there still doesn't seem to be a way for Ganon to reclaim his piece while deceased, plus the inconsistencies with Ganon being dead versus sealed away. Not helping is the later ''Zelda Encyclopedia'' [[DependingOnTheWriter opting]] to place the games after ''Link's Awakening'' with the Japanese version claiming that it features a different Link from those other games. The "official" word just leaves more questions than answers about the games' placement in the timeline.
