13	* Of course Link's Uncle ultimately expires once he tries to go save Zelda, the Soldiers of Hyrule are surprisingly difficult for what supposed to be TheGoomba and fully capable of killing a base, inexperienced Link within seconds. One man against an entire castle was destined to end in failure, and Link's best method to surviving the early game is learning how to bypass their defenses in isolated fights, or just bypass their threat entirely with tricks and escape.
14	* Why is it that even though it was stated that the properties of the Dark World cause those who enter it to shapeshift into something that reflects their true natures, Agahnim looked exactly the same as he did in the normal world? Agahnim is basically nothing more than a host for Ganon's spirit; he has no soul of his own, and Ganon was already changed into his boar form.
15	* The three pendants you have to collect (Courage, Power, and Wisdom, respectively) seem to have no reason for the order you gathered them in, but now they seem to be in order based on how soon Link (and by extension, the player) would gain those respective traits. ''Courage'' comes first because you need it just to start your journey. ''Power'' follows after you have started gaining new items and powers. ''Wisdom'' comes last since Link and the player need time to master these items and become comfortable with the gameplay.
16	** Each of the dungeons Link has to beat to get to the pendants: The first dungeon is straightforward and easy as long as you have the courage to take action, the second is just one big monster pit that you have to fight through as a test of strength and the final dungeon is a big puzzle that you must be wise enough to solve. Even the bosses reflect these virtues: the Knights die quickly and easily as long as you take action, the worms are a matter of doing more damage to them than they can do to you and the final boss is a puzzle where you have to figure out where to hit while not getting knocked out of the arena.
17	* The Master Sword was specifically forged as a failsafe in case the Triforce was used for evil. The Master Sword suppresses the Triforce's power, making the holder of the Triforce powerless. Still some Fridge Brilliance here: Ganon wasn't hosting the Triforce in his body at the time -- it was in a locked room behind his chamber in the Pyramid. The Master Sword was still a sword, so it could be used for the first half. After that, Ganon used his magic to make himself invulnerable, which only Silver Arrows could undo.
18	* The Ice Rod is inherently fatal to the Sand Worms because the desert is a very dry and hot place. Technically speaking, frozen moisture is the antithesis of sun-baked sand. Much like the Fire Rod is inherently fatal to Kholdstare.
19	* "Geldman" seems a weird name for the desert enemies. However, invoking SpellMyNameWithAnS, their name can be rendered as "Gerudo-man". A couple installments in the series later, the desert would officially be named the Gerudo Desert.
20	* The seventh Dark World dungeon has more than a few references to the Mario series - there’s a couple of Chain Chomps, a few Pokey-esque monsters, and you travel through pipes at one point. This makes sense when you realize it’s called [=TURTLE=] Rock. What was the species of Mario’s nemesis, again?

23	* In this game, the Master Sword can be tempered by two blacksmiths and a Great Fairy to increase its power when later games require divine intervention. In addition, the Master Sword cannot directly harm Agahnim (you get electrocuted if you try) and you need to use the Silver Arrows to damage Ganon at the end of the game after stunning him with the Master Sword when in later games, it's the other way around. What could have happened at the end of the Ocarina of Time battle where Link was killed by Ganondorf thus leading to the events of this game that caused Fi to lose so much of her power?
