1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Right near the beginning, when you find your sword at the beach, a short jingle plays and the music fades out. But then, a moment later, a heroic fanfare plays, Link performs a [[SignatureMove spin attack]], and the iconic Overworld theme kicks in as he raises the sword above his head, instantly letting you know that the adventure has now ''officially'' begun. For its time, it stood out as a very neat and almost cinematic touch. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPme8LZj2PQ&t=3m57s See here.]]
2	** Even better, if you pushed that spiky, urchin-like enemy in close enough when picking up the sword, it will be obliterated by the spin attack.
3	* Near the end of the game Marin gets captured by monsters and placed on a solitary platform high in the mountains. Of course, Link comes to her rescue, firing the hookshot across a gap and ''grabbing her in midair''.
4	* Of all the dungeons in the game, the Eagle Tower is the most remembered... for a puzzle where Link has to smash four pillars holding the upper levels up, causing a portion of the tower to collapse! Badass!
5	** The Nightmare of this dungeon (Evil Eagle) also provides a rather exciting fight, being a side-scroller boss like the giant fish from dungeon 4, only much more challenging.
6	* The ending sequence contains two very effective moments: the opening of the final dungeon, when the [[MacGuffin Eight Instruments of the Sirens]] play out the [[{{Leitmotif}} Ballad of the Wind Fish]] to open the Wind Fish's Egg. The other is the BadassBoast MotiveRant the Nightmares give you right before the final battle.
7	--> ''We were born of nightmares...to take over this world, we made the Wind Fish sleep endlessly! If the Wind Fish doesn't wake up, this island will never disappear! We would have been the masters of this place...But you had to come here and disrupt our plans! Heh heh! You can never defeat us! Let's rumble!''
8	* The final battle itself being a BossRush consisting mostly of Link's past foes, up to and including ''Ganon''! He defeats them all. The Nightmare can't defeat Link by throwing his past fears and nightmares at him, so its final form is akin to a last ditch attempt.
9	* Beating the game without dying lets Marin escape the island. Depending on the version, she either has wings like an angel, or is turned into a seagull.
10	* The rendering on the Switch remake is ''amazing''.
11	** The way that distant objects shift out of focus as they get further away, as if being filmed.
12	** The textures being smooth and shiny, like plastic or polymer clay.
13	** And the opening and ending cutscenes being ''traditional 2D animation''.
