* NintendoHard: Forced damage via bomb jumps prior to recent patches? Check. Thin walkways over BottomlessPits? Check. Spiked blocks placed with your frustration in mind? Check. Spike floors peppering just nearly any non-overworld surface that isn't normally open to the public? '''CHECK.'''
** [=PuzzleDude=]'s Remodel mitigates this a bit, especially with the dungeons, but sometimes goes overboard and the dungeon becomes [[ItsEasySoItSucks too easy]], as Teamudf made abundantly clear in his LetsPlay.

* ButNowIMustGo: Despite, from their own perspective, having just emerged from the Parallel Tower and entering Hyrule, the post-game versions of Zelda and the Maidens immediately return to the Icy World. The exact context isn't clear, given that it is simply an in-universe excuse for why the game's ending wasn't changed much. Out-of-universe, it may not have been possible to make many changes to the ending back in 2006.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: According to Stario's ApocalypticLog, after creating the Parallel Tower and banishing the warmongers and their armies, the Hero gave up the power of the Triforce, which was a statement of his heart's purity.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: Twice in the original, though the second climb was removed from the Remodel. Once the player has all the equipment and ammo they know they will need, the next step is to climb the Parallel Tower in the Icy World, find [[spoiler:the Magic Mirror]] at the top, use it WhereItAllBegan to get back to Hyrule, [[spoiler:get the Master Sword if they managed to get the Kokiri Emerald somewhere in the Tower]], then climb Hyrule's version of the Parallel Tower, and '''THEN''' you get to the penultimate area where you find the last Piece Of Heart in the game, before dropping down a hidden hole to challenge Ganon.


Added DiffLines:

* TheTower: The Parallel Tower, which was part of the WorkingTitle "Tower of the Triforce" as it is also where, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Triforce rests]].


Added DiffLines:

* WhereItAllBegan: Link winds up at the Triforce Shrine behind the Castle Site when he is sent to the Icy World after defeating Draegor. Guess where Link needs to go to use the certain item he finds at the top of the Parallel Tower and return to the normal world?

to:

!! This game ''Parallel Worlds'' contains examples of the following tropes:



** ConfessionCam: Tamini uses hers as one, confessing that [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom she allowed Ganon to follow the group anyway]] despite Zelda saying no.
** HopeSpot: Despite her pessimism, Zelda can't help but wonder if perhaps her group will encounter a [[TheHero hero]] when they get to Hyrule.

to:

** ClassifiedInformation: Arices didn't want any of the maidens to speak of their clues, not even to each other. If the mission went sideways, [[SuicidePact they'd commit suicide]]. And yet, even though it '''DID''' go sideways, six of the seven girls survived to be interrogated by Draegor, and Zelda lasted long enough to meet Link. How or why the SuicidePact failed goes unanswered. Even Zelda fails to mention it.
** ConfessionCam: Tamini uses hers as one, confessing that [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom [[spoiler:[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom she allowed Ganon to follow the group anyway]] despite Zelda saying no.
no]].
** HopeSpot: Despite her pessimism, pessimistic outlook, Zelda can't help but wonder if perhaps rule out the chance that her group will encounter a [[TheHero a hero]] when they get to Hyrule.Hyrule. [[BigDamnHeroes Enter Link.]]
** HumansAreFlawed: Zelda is fully aware that [[HumansAreBastards humans are, by nature, greedy, selfish, and power-hungry, and fully expects each of her companions to deliberately sabotage the mission somehow]]. What keeps the two trope links from being reversed is Zelda also acknowledges that humans are trying to change for the better.
** NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Lecer was worried that, though the group's intentions are noble, they could lead to the GreatOffscreenWar beginning anew if the warmongers and their descendants hadn't mended their ways after being banished to Hyrule. [[HeelFaceTurn They had.]]
** TallPoppySyndrome: Zelda blames the war on the Triforce being attention-grabbingly exceptional. Of '''COURSE''' people were going to want its power for themselves.



* MaximumHPReduction: It's not known if the mechanic is present in vanilla, but collecting the recording crystals lowers the FinalBoss's HP, making him easier to defeat. [[spoiler:Good luck beating him on the [[NewGamePlus Second Quest]] in the Remodel. No crystals for you there!]]
%%

* SuicidePact: According to Arices, the seven maidens have agreed to commit suicide if their mission somehow goes wrong. How or why they failed to uphold this

to:

* NewGamePlus: There is a Second Quest programmed into the game. Collecting all of the Mysterious Tablets before fighting Ganon changes the credits roll, specifically the Quest Log, to include a secret message on how to play the Second Quest. [[labelnote:Special hint! SPOILERS!!!]](There's a clue to playing the Second Quest right here on this page! Can you figure it out? Good luck!)[[/labelnote]]
->[[spoiler:The game will be ''harder''\\
It will also be '''shorter'''\\
The way to finish the game '''will''' be different\\
And of course new ''surprises'']]
* NintendoHard: Forced damage via bomb jumps prior to recent patches? Check. Thin walkways over BottomlessPits? Check. Spiked blocks placed with your frustration in mind? Check. Spike floors peppering just nearly any non-overworld surface that isn't normally open to the public? '''CHECK.'''
** [=PuzzleDude=]'s Remodel mitigates this a bit, especially with the dungeons, but sometimes goes overboard and the dungeon becomes [[ItsEasySoItSucks too easy]].
* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: The knowledge of how to scale the Parallel Tower was reduced to [[RuleOfSeven seven clues]], each entrusted to a family that survived the war. [[spoiler:Each of the seven maidens is from a family that had the clue, and they specifically gathered to use their clues to secure the Triforce and save their world.]]
* RuleOfSeven: Seven maidens, seven clues, seven recording crystals in seven dungeons across the Icy World. Then again, maybe that luck led to [[SpannerInTheWorks Link]] getting involved.
* SaveBothWorlds: Implied, but ultimately [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. Link's only victories are thus: [[spoiler:Ganon is defeated, versions of the maidens from before they emerged from Parallel Tower do so [[ButNowIMustGo only to immediately return to the Icy World]], peace returns to Hyrule, and somehow the king is alive again]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: It's unlikely that TheManBehindTheMan expected a TreasureHunter of all people to foil his plot to seize the Triforce for himself.
* SuicidePact: According to Arices, the seven maidens have agreed to commit suicide if their mission somehow goes wrong. How or why they failed to uphold this goes unanswered.
* TreasureHunter: Link and his friend, though it's AllThereInTheManual.
* TrueSight: Pressing and holding both the X and L buttons causes Sprite Layer 1 to disappear, letting you find some secrets and get around. The ability is present in the Remodel, but the need for it is removed. All invisible secrets were edited to be revealed. Zelda's clue for climbing Parallel Tower is to use this ability when it says to refer to Clue 6.

'''The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds''' [[labelnote:Working Title]]"Tower of the Triforce"[[/labelnote]] is a FanMod of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' by Euclid and [=SePH=], released in 2006.

'''The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds''' [[labelnote:Working Title]]"Tower of the Triforce"[[/labelnote]] is a FanMod GameMod of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' by Euclid and [=SePH=], released in 2006.

(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)When the king of Hyrule is murdered by his regent, Draegor, a resistance is formed to oppose his tyranny. Link is a TreasureHunter that, along with his older friend, is a member of this resistance. They learn that the last one of [[MysteriousWaif seven maidens]] is being held in the castle guardhouse, and plan a rescue mission, to take place on a dark and stormy night.

Little does Link know that this is but the start to something that would change forever the way one looks at Hyrule and its history.

''Parallel Worlds'' received a remodel by [=PuzzleDude=] in 2012 that in various ways made the game easier to complete, but [[YMMV/HomePage Your Mileage May Vary]] as to whether it merits EasyModeMockery or not.

If a Trope already applies to [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast the vanilla game]], it probably shouldn't be duplicated here.

----
!! This game contains examples of the following tropes:

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Zelda is not Princess of Hyrule in this game. Indeed, it's not stated if the king had any children at all before he died.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The Triforce [[SentientPhlebotinum still talks to Link]] in this game, but its abilities have been changed. [[spoiler:This Triforce doesn't grant wishes, or "destroy armies" as it chooses to word it. Rather, the Triforce is only able to facilitate travel between the eponymous Parallel Worlds via the Triforce Shrine behind Hyrule Castle, and within Parallel Tower itself.]]
* ApocalypticLog: The crystals in this game are not the maidens trapped by Ganon's magic, but pre-recorded messages specifically left by said maidens in case their mission went sideways. The contents are a testament, the maiden's name, and their Parallel Tower Clue, preceded by its number in the order you're supposed to follow them in.
** BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Caprius says in hers that she'd rather die trying to save her world than let a "[[VanHelsingHateCrimes filthy]]" monster kill her.
** ConfessionCam: Tamini uses hers as one, confessing that [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom she allowed Ganon to follow the group anyway]] despite Zelda saying no.
** HopeSpot: Despite her pessimism, Zelda can't help but wonder if perhaps her group will encounter a [[TheHero hero]] when they get to Hyrule.
* TheCoup: Draegor murders and usurps Hyrule's king. [[spoiler:Except not, he's under MindControl by Ganon.]]
* DamselInDistress: The seven maidens are captured by Draegor and imprisoned in the castle guardhouse to be interrogated for their clues on how to climb the Parallel Tower. Only Zelda remains by the time LaResistance manages to launch its rescue operation.
* DeathWorld: The [[EndlessWinter Icy World]] that Zelda and the maidens hail from. Survival there is a struggle for the people, and as ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'' would later show canonically, the people don't have time to [[Franchise/BillAndTed be excellent to each other]].
* EndlessWinter: As mentioned above, Zelda's world is a frozen hell where survival comes first AND last. How Link survives traveling around it despite being unexpectedly thrown there after fighting Draegor is anyone's guess.
* EvilChancellor: Draegor was the king's regent before TheCoup. [[spoiler:Again, not really. Ganon [[HijackedByGanon hijacked]] his brain.]]
* LampshadeHanging: When Link finds a Mushroom in the Guardhouse storage area, the description finishes with, "...what's this doing here, anyway?"
* LaResistance: A group of rebels is plotting to overthrow [[EvilChancellor Draegor]]. Link and his friend are members of that group.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:[[HijackedByGanon Ganon has hijacked Draegor]] via MindControl rather than Draegor being a vessel or vague "alter ego" but his role is about the same as in vanilla.]]
* MysteriousWaif: The seven maidens in general, but Zelda takes the plot-relevant role.
* SuicidePact: According to Arices, the seven maidens have agreed to commit suicide if their mission somehow goes wrong. How or why they failed to uphold this
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Why yes, Tamini, let the warlock who looks like a pig-demon tag along on your secret mission, even though Zelda already told you no. [[TemptingFate What could possibly go wrong?]]
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Averted, since there are no sympathetic monsters, but Caprius takes the monster hatred UpToEleven, joining Zelda's mission specifically to use the Triforce to wipe out the monsters plaguing their world. She even says that [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled she'd rather get killed trying to save her world, than by a monster]] in her ApocalypticLog.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Draegor "disposes of" the maidens whose clues he has learned. Zelda was to be next until Link saved her, but as in vanilla she was NotQuiteSavedEnough, though ''Parallel Worlds'' takes it UpToEleven with the implication that Draegor '''killed''' Zelda in front of Link, rather than banishing her to AnotherDimension as in vanilla.
