Abandon Shipping: Verbalised by Dark Flame Wolf in her chapter notes that she had originally intended for Zelda & Link to copulate but due to the insistence of reader reviews on how this would be wildly out of character with what was established with Link, the pairing was dropped.
One could argue that Naar starts off as an excellent villain with Hidden Depths, but over the course of the story ends up looking like a second rate villain being manipulated by demons and other antagonists.
Some readers think Link is subject to this during the extreme circumstances he's placed in throughout the story claiming he could have easily escaped or overcome what normal people would consider impossible because he's a one man army in the games.
Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: So just how exactly did Majora's Mask end up in Link's hand when facing off against Qargus?
Canon Defilement: While its generally agreed upon by readers that the first two acts of the story are phenomenal and set up what is expected to be an incredible third act, the reality of the final act falls into territory that caused many a reader to raise their torches and pitchforks.
Ensemble Dark Horse: Xavier, the Cyn'Taak, is a very popular one with readers. She is decribed as being very loyal and innocent but still highly lethal and dangerous. Her survival of the endgame events prompted a rather overjoyed response from one reviewer.
Fan Wank: The second half of Act 3 can come off as this for many readers. Despite it being well done and executed, many have called for this to be an AU rather than an actual canon fanfic.
Faux Symbolism: It is still unclear how well thought out the quotes from the Bhagavad Gita are at the end of the first two acts in reference to the overall events of the fanfic; were they thrown in for true symbolism or an attempt to garner extra depth to the story?
Jerkass Woobie: Kafei surely counts. He pulled the hood over both the characters and the readers eyes with his pain-filled past and his friendly disposition only to pull the rug out from everyone with his rage-fueled anger at the injustices done to him and the ones he loved.
Naar actually has a reason why he crossed this line a long time ago; however characters like Barrachas and Thanan seem to be so far beyond this line just for the lulz.
It's debatable with Kotake and Koume for most of the story, but they definitely cross this line officially when they abort Malon's son.
Princess Midna comes in during one chapter in Act 2 and completely steals the show from Kotake and Koume. She not only embarrasses them but gets the upper hand on the two witches the entire conversation; the bombshell of the Gerudo having used Twili magic this whole time is just icing on the cake.
Qargus, the dragon, is another show stopper. He appears in only one chapter in Act 3, doesn't overstay his welcome and maintains his air of mystery and lethality by the end of it.
Only the Author Can Save Them Now: There are many instances in the story where the stakes are set so high that there can't possibly be any way out alive. However, due to instances like Link's Nevachrean heritage or Navi swooping in to save the day, they miraculously make it through okay.
Player Punch: The deaths of Talon, Impa and Nabooru can come as a shock to readers. Strong, intense scenes like the abortion of Malon's son, the ripping of Link's wings and even his death are also a hard blow to take.
Replacement Scrappy: A lot of reader hate can be directed at Cayla for not only being a disagreeable character to begin with (she does get better by the end however), but also replacing Impa after she dies as the Sage of Shadow.
Shocking Moments: Link and friends bedding it up with the Gerudo for seven years? Kafei and Ingo appearing unexpectedly with Kafei being the villain? Fierce Diety Mask is the source of Nevachrean undead power? Link getting wings after merging with Navi? Kotake and Koume aborting Malon's son? Happy Mask Salesman is actually Ballos, servant of Hylia, founder of the Sheikah, creator of Fierce Diety Mask? Talon, Impa and Nabooru dying? Link's death at the end? Yeah, there is a lot of shocking moments in this fanfic, and that's just a handful!
Squick: If you are squeamish in any way about rape, gore, blood, violence or bodily fluids, then steer clear.
Tear Jerker: Kotake and Koume forcibly aborting Malon's son.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Ingo Gorman had a great introduction and was a superb character for the entirety of Act 2 since his entrance. However, he basically drops off the map at the start of Act 3 and isn't seen again until the end where he has little to do.
Too Cool to Live: Impa is an awesome character who continually gets Link and the others out of hairy situations and always comes up with plans that end up working in their favor. Even her final gambit against Naar and Ganondorf ends up succeeding even after her death.
