Let's hope today is no different!
Naturally, as a series of intentionally bad animations spoofing a So Bad, It's Good fan script, The Light of Courage has a wealth of funny moments.

General

  • Anytime whenever Link's eye glitches (pictured above). It makes an already amusingly derpy-looking character look even more amusingly derpy.
  • The sword beams in Part 1 and 3 are depicted as streams of goonote . Notably, in Part 1, Link fires a sword beam at Majora's Mask, but it has no effect on it and the goo simply falls off.

Part 2

  • The Royal Box in Part 2 is represented by metallic multicolored toy horses floating around as a giant metal ball rolls by in the background, all this on top of a real-life picture of what appears to be a park area of some kind.
  • As Eian introduces himself and talks to Prince Facade, Zelda's model inexplicably turns into an even worse-textured version that notably has black (and surprisingly creepy) eyes and crudely-drawn breasts. Further into the conversation, Link is also seen bald and hatless, and there is a clone of Link's normal model to Eian's left.
    • The same Zelda model reappears in Part 3, with Zelda turning into it as she gazes in awe after Link's sword transforms into a giant version of the Master Sword.
  • Uniquely and hilariously compared to the other characters, Tingle's mouth isn't even synced up to what he's saying, as whenever he talks, his mouth simply opens widely and stays open until his dialogue is finished.
  • The dance sequence in Part 2 comes out of nowhere and manages to be hilarious with how randomly it starts and thanks to scenes like Ruto pelvic-thrusting, Link jumping up and down while swinging his sword (which even clips through Zelda) and a shot of King Hofane randomly lying dead on the ground. The sequence ending with the Triforce of Courage preparing and then unleashing a "ta-da!" pose as Tingle flies up behind it before shooting perfectly-timed confetti from his mouth puts the cherry on top of the hilarity sundae.
  • Towards the end of Part 2, the camera zooms in on Link's face as his jaw slowly drops before his eye glitches. He virtually remains in this state for the remainder of the animation's runtime.

Part 3

  • This entry is filled with Funny Background Events, some examples including a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of King Hofane from Part 2 laying dead in the dungeon, Ruto pelvic-thrusting in Ganon's throne room, Eian, Tingle and Prince Facade being part of the rock pileup and the Triforce of Power inexplicably being giant after Link's freakout, just to name a few examples.
  • "You should have thought about what I am willing to do in order to get the job DONE."
  • After Majora's above line, Ganon grabs and throws him at one of the walls in his lair, and while doing so, his robe rips and partially slips off from him moving too quickly.
  • After Zelda is seemingly crushed by rocks that fell from the ceiling due to Ganon's sword beam, Link promptly goes apeshit and starts firing sword beams indiscriminately, all while screaming Zelda's name for a whopping thirteen seconds straight. This, combined with various shots of the remaining characters reacting to him screaming (including a scene of Majora's Mask riding on a bicycle to flee from the scene) and an additional scene where one of Link's sword beams somehow manages to hit Eian, who is on the surface in Arcadia, easily makes this one of the funniest scenes in the series. The poses Ganon makes as he dodges Link's sword beams also add on to the hilarity because of how dramatic they look.
  • Link talking to himself after Zelda throws him the chest, as it is played literally. He talks to a small clone of himself that's on a tree stump, and, as an added bonus the Triforce of Courage is also seen trying to climb up on the stump that the clone stole its spot from.
  • Once Link opens the chest, the magic from it makes his sword grow to a ridiculously large size. Its final size easily dwarfs him, and he's still able to wield it with both hands without issue!
  • As Link continually yells "Ha!" in various voices, he actually manages to teleport closer and closer to Ganon each time. At the end of the animation, his eye glitches one last time before we cut to the The End card and credits.

Wow, these moments get funnier and funnier every year!
