The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a game for the Nintendo 3DS released in 2013, the 17th installment in The Legend of Zelda series.The game is essentially a sequel to A Link to the Past, albeit set many generations later. Chronologically, it takes place after Link's Awakening and the Oracle games, but before the original game and featuring a new Link. This makes it the 7th game in the "Hero Defeated" branch of the Hyrule timeline leading to the NES games. Shigeru Miyamoto was directly involved in the production, in contrast to the other post-Ocarina of Time games being handled more by Eiji Aonuma.Although Hyrule appears similar to A Link to the Past, it is set long after that story and features a brand new Link. The plot sees this Link, an apprentice to a blacksmith, encountering an Evil Sorcerer named Yuga who is traveling across Hyrule turning people into paintings. With help from Princess Zelda, the elder Sahasrahla, and the seedy rabbit-costumed merchant Ravio, he embarks on a quest to halt Yuga's reign of terror. His journey eventually brings him to a Mirror Universe with a decaying kingdom called Lorule (a land similar to the Dark World from its predecessor) ruled by Zelda's Alternate Self, the somber Hilda. Satoru Iwata has hinted at the existence of a "mirror" of the Triforce within this world, which shows up on the game's logo as an inverted black Triforce.The game once again features Dual-World Gameplay, though this time Link travels back and forth between Hyrule and Lorule. He is aided in his quest with a magic bracelet that gives him the ability to turn into a 2-dimensional painting, letting him walk along walls and enter narrow openings. In a twist on the traditional Zelda Dungeon Crawling formula, after a certain point in the game, you can complete the dungeons in any order you want.note With one exception: The Thieves' Hideout dungeon must be completed before the Desert Palace dungeon This is done thanks to a shop owned by Ravio, where you can rent and eventually purchase various items depending on which is needed to enter a particular dungeon. |

Elemental Baggage |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_10ad7cfe |
comment |
Elemental Baggage: Averted with the Sand Rod, which can only generate walls of sand if there is actual sand nearby to change. Otherwise, it just causes a small burst of dust to rise up and stun whatever's hit. (The upgrade extends the number to up to eight, but works the same way.) Played straight with the other three rods, which can generate fire, ice, and wind. |

comment |
The Artifact: While religious references are fair game for Nintendo in 2013 (and there are quite a few in this game, to the point that Lorule abandoning its gods is a major plot point), some bits of SNES-era censorship remain from A Link to the Past, likely for consistency purposes. The Sanctuary is still a "Sanctuary" rather than a church, and the dungeons are labeled as "Palaces" rather than "Temples" like in other games. |

| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_1527d90d |
comment |
Early Game Hell: Hero Mode is like this, since without the unlockable 'mail', you take quadruple damage compared to the normal game and with low hearts, many enemies can wipe Link out in one or two hits. It gets much more bearable when you get to buy the items and stuff after three dungeons... and then goes back to being hell when you enter Lorule. Until two or three dungeons later, when you get things like a more powerful sword, the blue mail, and more hearts. |

comment |
Chaos Architecture: In a bizarre aversion, this is the first Zelda game ever to have the same geography as a previous titlenote While the map of original shows up in its sequel, it is massively scaled down and only a tiny fraction of the world map, although Ocarina of Time and the Nintendo GameCube version of Twilight Princess have some subtle similarities. There are still some weird differences between Lorule and the Dark World, such as Turtle Rock and the Ice Palace being swapped. Then again, the two are separate places that just happen to resemble each other strongly. Played straight with the interiors of the Hyrule dungeons, although no one expects to do the same puzzles again. |

Exactly What I Aimed At: In the Final Boss battle, to land the final blow, you must aim a light arrow away from Yuga. Since the room is circular, and both of you are merged into the wall, the arrow travels around the room and hits him in the weak point in his back, forcing him out of the wall to be finished off with the Master Sword. |

Soldiers are once again enemy units in the game in spite of the Hyrulean forces not being Brainwashed and Crazy as in A Link To The Past. Handwaved in that they're conjurations made by Yuga to keep the kingdom distracted, but its not explained why he chose to make enemies based off the old Hylian guard uniform. |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: Link can become a painting and meld with the walls in certain areas. He is unaffected by gravity while in this state. Yuga can also become a painting, as well as turn others into drawings. This, combined with a bracelet from Ravio, is how Link gets his shapeshifting ability. |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Osfala, like Ralph and Groose, initially thinks he's the hero of the story and goes through the Eastern Palace with nothing but a Sand Rod he borrowed from Ravio, but ends up captured by Yuga. He later realizes that Link really is the hero and that he's just a Sage, and is very disappointed. Sahasrahla is convinced that the plot is the same as in A Link to the Past, urging Link to go through the same trials and collect the same tokens. In truth, things are a bit more complex. Hilda's ancestors tried to invoke No MacGuffin, No Winner, believing it would solve all the problems caused by war. It didn't, quite the opposite actually. |

Chekhov's Gun |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_22cf536c |
comment |
Chekhov's Gun: When Yuga turns Seres into a painting, he says how "her grace" will be pleased. It is a quick hint to the fact Hilda is in on his attacks. The musty old bracelet Ravio gives Link in exchange for letting him stay in Link's house. After Yuga turns Link into a painting in the Eastern Palace, the bracelet allows Link to escape... and gives him the power to enter and exit walls at will. The whole monster mask cult ("mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo...") apparently got started by Sahasrahla's Lorule counterpart as a way for the Loruleans to cope with their kingdom falling apart and keep from descending into thievery and other forms of wickedness in their despair. These monster masks are based on the monster forms that people stuck in the Dark World would take in A Link to the Past. Ravio is dressed as a rabbit, the form Link took in that game before getting the Moon Pearl, which foreshadows the fact that he is Link's counterpart in Lorule. Furthermore, it also foreshadows his role as a Defector from Decadence, since Hilda and Yuga, two Loruleans who don't wear monster masks, are the main villains whose plan he wants no part of. |

Cardboard Prison: Subverted. Most of the jail cells in the game aren't very effective at holding Link, since he can just merge into the wall and slip around/through the bars. Of course, they're still inescapable for a normal person. Zigzagged with the Thief Girl; she is placed in a locked jail cell when Link first meets her, but if she gets captured during the Escort Mission, she is put back in that same now-unlocked cell, and the guards don't bother to lock the door again. |

Generation Xerox: This game takes place a few hundred years after A Link to the Past and is essentially a sequel to it. As a result, this game's Link seems to live an almost carbon copy of his predecessor's entire life story, complete with Identical Grandson and Expy forms of the prior game's entire cast list. |

comment |
Mythology Gag: Majora's Mask can be seen hanging on the right wall of Ravio's shop (which is also Link's house). As a painting, Link resembles the introductory artwork from The Wind Waker. The very Talon-like bartender is based on Mr. Barten. And his Lorule counterpart seems to be based on Ingo/Gorman. Link getting a transformation power as a result of the villain trying to permanently transform him? It's not the first time in the series that happened. If you extort the aforementioned Hinox too much, he'll try to kill you to get the rupees back. This isn't the first time Link has stolen from an innocent and paid for it with his life. The northeast house in Kakariko Village has a picture of Makar. Next to it is a picture of the crustacean design on Link's islander outfit from the same game. The Milk Bar has pictures of the sages' instruments. Link uses a sword that he was supposed to deliver to someone else. |

Same Content, Different Rating |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_27d00b28 |
comment |
Same Content, Different Rating: Unlike in A Link to the Past, the game's content and themes are roughly the same as those of other modern Zelda games (apart from the T-rated Twilight Princess); the complexity and peril are on a similar level, and there's no SNES-era censorship to neuter any religious themes and references (with Lorule's relationship with its gods being a major theme of the game). Despite this, while most modern Zelda games are rated E10+note considering how the 3D and HD remakes of Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker and Majora's Mask were re-rated from E to E10+, A Link Between Worlds is rated E just like its predecessor, which may be due to the top-down perspective and graphics making the violence less realistic (although this still brings into question why its rating is lower than The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, which had a similar perspective and less detailed artstyle). |

Dark World |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_294df577 |
comment |
Lorule, to A Link to the Past's Dark World. It isn't the same realm, but it is similar enough to be mistaken for it: Six of the Dark World dungeons make a return, and the seventh is likely an altered version of the last one. The same types of enemies are in the same locations, and the only thing missing is the Pyramid of Power, with Lorule Castle now in its location. Weirdly enough, the ending sees you visit the Sacred Realm (i.e. the Dark World freed from Ganon's influence). |

Easter Egg |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_29a39f6 |
comment |
Easter Egg: Having one of the elemental Rods equipped in the X slot when playing the Octoball Derby makes Link use it instead of the stick you normally get. There is an alternative version of the Milk Bar rendition of the Death Mountain theme where the flute segment goes crazy and off-tune, likely a scrapped recording that was left in as a joke. |

Theme Music Power-Up |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_2f50c5bf |
comment |
Theme Music Power-Up: After Link receives the Triforce of Courage and is sent to Lorule Castle, the overworld theme becomes a more triumphant version of itself. Of course, you can dawdle, beating up monsters and collecting leftover heart pieces and enjoy the music. Much earlier in the game, Hyrule's overworld music gets increasingly triumphant and intense as the first part of the story goes on. In the beginning, it's pretty relaxed. Then it becomes a standard theme after obtaining the Captain's Sword. Then, after getting the Master Sword, it becomes orchestral. |

Defector from Decadence |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_38f1a7ed |
comment |
The whole monster mask cult ("mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo...") apparently got started by Sahasrahla's Lorule counterpart as a way for the Loruleans to cope with their kingdom falling apart and keep from descending into thievery and other forms of wickedness in their despair. These monster masks are based on the monster forms that people stuck in the Dark World would take in A Link to the Past. Ravio is dressed as a rabbit, the form Link took in that game before getting the Moon Pearl, which foreshadows the fact that he is Link's counterpart in Lorule. Furthermore, it also foreshadows his role as a Defector from Decadence, since Hilda and Yuga, two Loruleans who don't wear monster masks, are the main villains whose plan he wants no part of. |

Parental Substitute: It's heavily implied that the blacksmith's wife has looked after the parent-less Link on many occasions. She knitted his own tunic and made him an item pouch.

No Fair Cheating: If you use Irene's broom to try to beat the Hyrule Hotfoot minigame more easily, the NPC at the finish line scolds you for cheating and won't give you the prize until you beat the minigame fairly unless you warp to Lorule, then use Irene's broom and warp back. It's a lot of trouble to go through for a supposed shortcut, though. |

What a Piece of Junk: What the Lorulean blacksmith regards Link's Master Sword as. He pours his heart and soul into tempering swords to reach their ultimate capability, and the sight of kids picking up any weapon or ancient relic they find lying around depresses him. It's not until Link finds ores for the Hyrulian blacksmith to temper the sword that he becomes impressed with the craftsmanship of his counterpart and sees the true potential in the blade. |

Just Eat the MacGuffin: What would happen if the Triforce was destroyed before it became a plot point? As it turns out, this game: Princess Hilda invoked this trope to keep the Triforce's power away from evil forces, only to later discover that the Triforce was the Cosmic Keystone keeping the world together. Without it, Lorule is both figuratively and literally crumbling apart, forcing her to try and acquire Hyrule's Triforce to fix it, leading to the events of the game. |

Adult Fear: The Priest, Gulley's parents, and the Witch all have their children/grandchildren transformed into paintings and kidnapped by Yuga. While the Priest and the Witch saw him but were powerless to stop him, mind you. Gulley's parents aren't aware of it until Link saves him and reassures them that he's OK, but until then, they're very worried. This is only compounded with how Gulley is an outgoing child who likes to go to a grove, surrounded by monsters who attack on sight, suddenly disappears. |

Ravio being Link's Lorulean counterpart was hinted at long before his reveal. He hoards money, possesses various tools and weapons similar to those from past Zelda games (which he uses with his left hand), barges into a stranger's home and rearranges the furniture (your pots also go missing), realizes that you'll actually be fine when you "die", wears a bunny hood (matching Link's rabbit form in the Dark World in A Link to the Past before gaining protection), and has a winged companion. To make things even more obvious, Ravio's house in Lorule matches the location of Link's house in Hyrule. |

comment |
Artifact Mook: Lorule has enemies from the Dark World of A Link To The Past where in that game, they were strongly implied to be the transformed forms of those who ventured into the Dark World without the protection of the Moon Pearl. Their presence in Lorule, essentially a dystopian Parallel Universe to Hyrule, makes little sense from an in-universe standpoint beyond adding on to the already dark atmosphere. Soldiers are once again enemy units in the game in spite of the Hyrulean forces not being Brainwashed and Crazy as in A Link To The Past. Handwaved in that they're conjurations made by Yuga to keep the kingdom distracted, but its not explained why he chose to make enemies based off the old Hylian guard uniform. |

| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_4c782fb9 |
comment |
Gods Need Prayer Badly: Subverted in Lorule. The world is on the verge of collapse, the sanctuaries are all abandoned, while clergymen/philosophers can do nothing but mourn the people forsaking their gods (even questioning if they in turn have forsaken mortals). Loruleans have become depraved and worship monsters such as Gemesaur King, who in turn, need human devotion in order to become more powerful and god-like. |

Plot Coupon: The Pendants of Virtue are back. This time, they have the symbols of the Goddesses like the Spiritual Stones and the Pearls of the Goddesses. The color of the Power and Wisdom pendents has also been fixed, as in Link to the Past, Power was blue and Wisdom was red, unlike everything else that followed. In Lorule, the paintings of the Seven Sages are what must be collected, to restore them back to normal and free the sages. |

The dimension is on the verge of collapsing, thus Mother Maiamai was separated from her children between Hyrule and Lorule. She pleads for the hero to find and rescue her scattered babies. |

Dark Is Not Evil |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_575fd5e2 |
comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: The Lorulean counterpart to the Bee Guy is the Devilish Girl. The only thing that could hint towards her being evil are the fact that she resembles a demon and the fact that she doesn't expect the ones taking on her challenges to survive (although she's genuinely amazed if you do manage to beat them). Lorule itself and Princess Hilda are also a case of this. Lorule isn't an evil place, it's just an Alternate Universe version of Hyrule, that is in a bad state of disrepair because its Triforce was destroyed. Hilda isn't evil either, just desperate...without the wisdom to find another way, she became a Well-Intentioned Extremist. |

Not His Sled |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_5a36f8bc |
comment |
Not His Sled: In the Thieves' Hideout in Lorule, you'll find a girl locked in a cell asking for help, who promises to give Link the Sage Painting after her rescue. Players who have played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past would know that in the Thieves' Town dungeon in the Dark World, the maiden there was in fact the boss in disguise. An experienced player is thus fully prepared for a betrayal at any time. The game teases you by making it an Escort Mission and having Link work together with her to go through the dungeon. Upon finally reaching the boss door, the game reveals that the girl is in fact, not actually the boss that the player had been expecting (though they do fight Blind's Expy, Stalblind). That's not even the end of the teasing. After the battle, Link has to cross a narrow bridge with the girl behind him, teasing that she might push him off. In the end, she keeps her word, and gives Link the painting as promised. As soon a veteran learns Yuga's plan involves reviving Ganon then the obvious implications of him usurping the role of main antagonist will be expected. Not this time though. |

Disc-One Nuke: The upgraded Fire Rod shoots a large pillar of fire which deals as much damage as the Master Sword, travels an entire screen's worth of length, can be shot downwards and travel up and down stairs to hit enemies on different heights, and hits enemies several times with a single use, making Hyrule Castle and the Lorule overworld much easier especially in Hero mode. It's available as soon as you finish the three Hyrule dungeons and only requires a modest amount of Rupees (mitigated by Ravio's one-time discount on the first purchase) and finding ten Maiamai. |

Definitely something the first-time player will discover on Death Mountain if they go out of their way to grab a Piece of Heart and an empty bottle early in the game. They will have to contend with moving platforms over fiery molten rock chasms. Plus encounters with multiple Lynels, centaur-like beings that resemble fire-breathing lions, that take off three hearts per hit (twelve hearts in Hero Mode). These factors can easily screw up your no death run. |

MacGuffin Delivery Service: Hilda's plan actually depends on Link getting the Master Sword and rescuing the Seven Sages, as he needs to do that in order to get the Triforce of Courage, which is an essential part of Hilda's plan to steal a new Triforce for Lorule. Defeating the penultimate boss is the first thing Link does in the entire game that does not somehow advance the Big Bad's plot. |

Meaningful Name |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_6bda9a30 |
comment |
Meaningful Name: Yuga's name is based on the Japanese word for "painting," which obviously fits with his painting obsession. But there is another meaning to it, when you read the name with Hinduism in mind. In this case, Lorule can be seen as a universe, which is in its last epoch, the Kali Yuga, as it is headed to its imminent destruction. In addition, almost all Loruleans have lost their virtues, which is also a marking for the last era of the cycle, as humanity starts absolutely virtuous in the first era and declines through the four Yuga ages to a World Half Empty, which is destroyed at the end. After the Kali Yuga has passed, the universe will be created anew in a new Yuga cycle. The Kali Yuga is generally the time of the Downfall of a culture and this game is an entry of the downfall timeline. So, the Kali Yuga metaphor also works for Hyrule. |

Punny Name: The name of the other world in this game is called "Lorule" in order to contrast with "Hyrule".note High-rule and Low-rule. Get it? |

comment |
The Thing That Would Not Leave: Ravio taking up residence in Link's house is an escalating one during each visit at certain points in the game: He asks to stay. He says he's a merchant and he would like to sell some stuff here. He starts advertising for adventurers to come visit his shop. He dumps all of Link's belongings to the corners of the room and sets up shopping counters. He puts up a massive billboard with his face on it on top of Link's house. Last, but not least; he changes the name on the sign from "Link's House" to "Ravio's Shop". |

Excuse Plot |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_70d8269d |
comment |
Excuse Plot: Downplayed. Compared to other modern Zelda games, A Link Between Worlds has a fairly sparse plot with more emphasis on gameplay, just like A Link to the Past. However, what bits of plot there are contain some fairly complex and tragic characters and themes, especially concerning Lorule and the state that it's in. |

Anti Poop-Socking: If you make a good deal of progress in one go, generally triggered by getting a full heart container, the nearby weather vanes will start shaking, flapping their wings, and making noises to direct your attention to them so that you won't forget to save and lose it. Alternatively (or sometimes as well), playing roughly for an hour straight will make them suggest taking a break when you save, complete with a Beat in between. Irene will also pipe in on the subject, saying that Link looks tired. |

Later Installment Weirdness: The game gives Link access to all items from Ravio's shop, rather than the dungeons. Instead of getting them at certain points in the story for free, like you normally would, you have to rent the equipment (cheaper, but you lose it if you die) or, in an aversion of Money for Nothing, buy it (each item is 800 to 1200 rupees). |

Lorule itself and Princess Hilda are also a case of this. Lorule isn't an evil place, it's just an Alternate Universe version of Hyrule, that is in a bad state of disrepair because its Triforce was destroyed. Hilda isn't evil either, just desperate...without the wisdom to find another way, she became a Well-Intentioned Extremist. |

Wishing for More Wishes: A Variant. The Triforce has no explicit numerical limitation on wishes, but only one person can possess it at a time. In the ending it is shown that it can create more Triforces, but the implication is more that it fixed the old one rather than pulling a new Triforce out of thin air. |

Bullet Hell: Cuccos, of course. They are now a Mini-Game. Getting the heart piece is easy. The crazy 100% Completion Bragging Rights Reward is to do "Endless Mode" for 999 seconds (about 16.6 minutes) perfectly. This causes the farm girl giving Link the quest to call him the Cuccomaster and presents a giant Cucco that replenishes Link's hearts at her ranch anytime he visits. And this minorly changes the ending. |

Revisiting the Roots: A return to the 2D roots of The Legend of Zelda after years spent refining the mechanics of the 3D iterations of the series and after 2.5D games like Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks went for more of an experimental hybrid approach. It also harkens back to the much more non-linear titles of the franchise's early years. |

Apocalypse How |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_91e894b4 |
comment |
Apocalypse How: The Loruleans rejected the gift from the gods and opted to completely destroy their Triforce. While this was done with the best of intentions to prevent further warring over and abuse of its power, this inadvertently caused Lorule to begin to crumble without the protection of their Triforce to hold it together. They didn't understand that the essence of the gods is literally the foundation of their creation that prevents it from reverting back into the chaos it once was. As the generations went by, Lorule fell further and further into disrepair and edged closer to its doom. It is unknown how it would have affected Hyrule, but at least Lorule would have eventually completely died out had Link not intervened. |

Take a Third Option: At the end the options seem to be to leave the Triforce on Lorule, saving it but dooming Hyrule to destruction. Or taking it back to Hyrule, dooming Lorule to destruction. Instead, Link and Zelda make a wish on their Triforce to restore Lorule's Triforce, saving both worlds. |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Remember playing A Link to the Past? Not only does the Nintendo 3DS have the exact same amount of buttons as a Super Nintendo controller, it replaces where you dash from, you also use two items, and the start button is now pause instead of "Menu". Remember swimming in Link's Awakening and the Oracle games? A to swim faster and B to dive, right? For no reason at all, these are now swapped: Expect to dive unexpectedly a lot while trying to move faster. |

Greater-Scope Villain: Ganon. Although not as prominent, Ganon's presence can be felt, as he is heavily featured in the game's backstory and is mentioned by the elders as the Demon King that nearly brought Hyrule to ruins long ago. Subverted when it is revealed that reviving Ganon is part of Hilda's plan, since she wants the Triforce for the benefit of Lorule, and Yuga wants the Triforce for himself. Neither of them care about Ganon other than that, and Ganon himself doesn't get to do anything before Yuga absorbs his power and takes over his body. |

Anti-Frustration Feature: You no longer have to collect arrows, bombs, or magic, as nearly all the items simply run off of your (rather quickly replenishing) stamina meter, making a host of puzzles much, MUCH easier. To make things simpler, some dungeons have purple potions that instantly replenish this meter, to avoid situations that would otherwise just require wasting time. Certain tasks in the game become easier if you fail them the first time. For example, if the thief girl gets caught during the Escort Mission, fewer enemies will spawn when you retry, and the ones you already beat don't come back. If you fail the ghost chase in the Lost Woods, you will start out with fewer ghosts up to two times. The ball hones in on the crows in the baseball minigame. The Fast Travel system (Irene's broom) is introduced very early on, making it much easier to get around the overworld. The Maiamai Map tells you how many Maiamais are left in a particular area of Hyrule or Lorule. If you happen to beat a boss while standing right where the Heart Container appears you won't collect it immediately. While it may not have been the intention, this can help players doing low health runs. If you merge with a wall to escape a Wallmaster, it will slam its palm down immediately (and miss because you're 2D), sparing you the sometimes-lengthy wait for their attack that you'd otherwise have to endure. |

Interface Spoiler: Just in case you still were unaware of the game taking place in two separate worlds, the fact you have to find 100 Maiamai but the ones shown in the Hyrule map total only 50 will give it away. |

Foreshadowing |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_9d12bbc1 |
comment |
Foreshadowing: In the tutorial section of the game, soldiers can be seen trying to wipe off paintings of mooks from the castle, foreshadowing the painting aspect of the game. Ravio being Link's Lorulean counterpart was hinted at long before his reveal. He hoards money, possesses various tools and weapons similar to those from past Zelda games (which he uses with his left hand), barges into a stranger's home and rearranges the furniture (your pots also go missing), realizes that you'll actually be fine when you "die", wears a bunny hood (matching Link's rabbit form in the Dark World in A Link to the Past before gaining protection), and has a winged companion. To make things even more obvious, Ravio's house in Lorule matches the location of Link's house in Hyrule. There are various hints to Hilda being a villain: The post-dungeon scenes in Lorule of Hilda monologuing to Zelda about how much she envies her in a poorly lit room will probably set off a few red flags. Yuga drops a couple comments early on about "Her Grace", even making a direct comparison to Zelda. Ravio's house, mentioned above, contains his diary, which alludes to what Hilda is actually trying to do, and that Yuga is "duping" her. Hints to the Seven Sages: At a certain point within the story, when you use Irene's bell to summon her, only her broom, without Irene, will come to pick up Link. Eventually, it's revealed that she has been abducted and turned into a painting. This is also foreshadowed by the fortune teller's prophesy that convinced her to help Link in the first place. Turns out it's true after all, even if it's a bit vague. Similarly, at one point Gulley goes missing and his mother is shown searching for him. |

Continuity Nod |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_9dab0a6e |

Continuity Nod: The first artwork image of Link revealed portrays him similarly to how he appears in A Link to the Past, whereas the later artwork first shown in an August 7 Nintendo Direct clip seems to be inspired by the Oracle games. Gulley's reason for not knowing what saving is? "I'm just a kid." The overworld music for Lorule is the Dark World theme from A Link to the Past. And the theme of the Treacherous Tower is an arranged version of the "Dark World Dungeon" Theme, also from A Link to the Past. Once again, the bug-catching net can be used to reflect projectiles in the final battle. The theme that plays in the Seven Sages' chamber is a remix of the theme that played in the location of the same name in Ocarina of Time. And speaking of that game, its Game Over theme is used in this game as well, followed by a remix of the Game Over theme from the original game. The jingle that plays after saving a game is the flute melody from A Link to the Past — fitting, since the save points are weather vanes exactly like the one that gives the flute its power in that game. The palace theme from Zelda II plays whenever you battle someone's Shadow Link. Whenever Link leaves the Sacred Realm, the Seven Sages strike the same poses as the ones from Ocarina of Time, when they sealed away Ganon. A few of the lost Maiamais are found where there were warp vortexes in A Link to the Past. One Lorule shopkeeper will mutter "Ay lliw nihtemos yub" under his breath, whether you do buy something or not. One of the songs the Bard in the Milk Bar will play is the Ballad of the Goddess. Link is closely associated with the local blacksmith. Yuga, much like Ghirahim before him, hums his own leitmotif. The shopkeeper on the west side of Lake Hylia is a Suspiciously Similar Substitute to one of the merchants from the original game. It isn't immediately obvious, though, as his design is based not on the sprite, but the artwork from the original game's manual. When Link obtains the Triforce of Courage, he does the same two-handed Item Get! pose he did when obtaining a Triforce Piece from the original game. |

comment |
Production Foreshadowing: There is a certain mask hanging in Link's House, and it's one of the few things Ravio doesn't mess with. That mask is Majora's Mask, and the re-release of the game was announced a bit less than a year after the release of A Link Between Worlds. It was likely intentional, as said remake started production soon after Ocarina of Time 3D was released. The seal that Yuga-Ganon places on the gates of Lorule Castle resembles malice. |

Double-Meaning Title: In keeping with the tradition set by A Link to the Past, the first Zelda game with a pun (in the West at least). A Link Between Worlds, referring to Link traveling back and forth between the two dimensions, and the connection between them (which itself could be the various portals, Link again, the various Alternate Self characters, or the parallel Triforces, which let the Loruleans first know about Hyrule and which serve as the primary driving force of the conflict). |

Infinity +1 Sword |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_a5e02e9e |
comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Golden Sword/Level 3 Master Sword. You can unlock the sword's full potential by finding two more pieces of Master Ore and taking them to the Lorule blacksmith. This is a little trickier than the above, since the first three are in dungeons, but the fourth is in an area of Lorule only accessible from one area in Hyrule which you probably wouldn't visit unless you're collecting Maiamais or using a guide, since it's not required for normal completion. |

Rewarding Vandalism: You're even more encouraged to do so now due to the renting/purchase system. It's implied Ravio also suffers from this, as the only missing furniture in Link's house after his "renovations" are the pots. This makes sense, given that he's Link's Lorule counterpart. |

Variable Mix: It's a Zelda trademark by now. In the Maiamai cave, if you have Mother Maiamai upgrade an item, the background music will go from simple harp and flute to a full orchestra with a chorus chanting "Mai, mai, mai mai mai!" Again with Maiamais, every time you find a baby, it sings (squeaks?) along to the traditional "you got a shiny" fanfare. In Lorule Castle, another instrument will be added to the background music with every successive victory in the Boss Rush. Once you beat three of four, Ganondorf's theme gets mixed in. |

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: What the early stages of the battle with Knucklemaster can be summarized as. Continuous use of the wall-merging technique makes it appear that Link is in one giant taunting session with the boss of the Skull Woods. The monster cannot even change strategies, and knocks itself out repeatedly, as Link is invincible in a painting-state. When it Turns Red, however, the heat really gets turned up. |

| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_c32d3344 |
comment |
Disconnected Side Area: Despite being of the same general configuration otherwise, Lorule is crisscrossed by enormous chasms, resulting in these. Only two dungeons out of seven share a section of the world map with each other, with those two being located in the section containing Lorule's counterparts to Hyrule Castle, Link's house, and Kakariko Village. The only way to access the different sections before inspecting the weather vanes there is to take a portal from Hyrule. |

Continuing Is Painful: If you die while you have a rented item, you have to rent it again. The game also returns Link to Ravio's shop if he dies on the overworld (even in Lorule) and, though an option to restart in a dungeon is available, it's best to go back there anyway unless you own the item needed. |

Blackout Basement: There are once again caves and dungeons that are pitch black except for a dimly-lit circle around Link, when he has the lantern equipped. This time around, snuffing out the torches in the Dark Palace reverses the effect for invisible platforms and walls, which glow in complete obscurity (meaning your lantern makes them invisible, looking like a dark circle around Link). |

Lighter and Softer |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_ce6555f0 |
comment |
Lighter and Softer: Than A Link to the Past, at least up until the first visit to Lorule. In the opening for this game, Link is casually delivering a sword to a careless guard captain. Compare that to the prequel, where he's avenging his dead uncle on a stormy night where the king has been assassinated, and Hyrule is mostly deserted due to greed for the Triforce in the Sacred Realm, now the Dark World. Of note is the fact that this is one of the very few modern Zelda games to be rated E by the ESRB. Subverted when you see that Lorule's fate is just as bad, if not worse, than the Light and Dark Worlds of A Link to the Past, and it takes the idea of a Crapsack World and runs with it; even more so since Lorule's situation has more overbearing religious themes, unaffected by SNES-era censorship this time around. |

Escort Mission: In the Thieves' Hideout, you have to escort a girl to the exit and protect her from the enemies who want to put her back in her cell. Although she doesn't fight the enemies, having been stripped of all her gear when imprisoned, she is required to solve some of the puzzles in the dungeon and get to the boss. The Bomb Flower is needed to destroy several rocks that impede mission completion, in the Swamp Palace and Lorule Castle dungeons. You have to protect it from enemies while you travel to the location you want to use it in, as even the slightest bump will set it off. |

Lethal Joke Item: Much like previous installments in the series, a somewhat innocuous item can be used against the final boss. The harmless bug catching net swings in such a way that you can accurately reflect the boss's projectiles twice in a row. Also applies to the upgraded lantern and bug catching net, which have power rivaling the fully upgraded Master Sword, but good luck hitting anything with the former without stunning it first. |

comment |
Arc Welding: This game came out after the Hyrule Historia finally nailed down a canon timeline, but in the process placed the original Legend of Zelda after Link to the Past. This creates a problem because Ganon was destroyed in Link to the Past, but is back on his feet for Legend of Zelda. Furthermore, in The Legend of Zelda, the Triforce has been split into three pieces with the Triforce of Courage having gone missing, but it was whole at the end of Link to the Past. This game takes place between the two games, thus Ganon's revival at the hands of Yuga and Yuga's subsequent defeat allows an excuse that Ganon wasn't completely destroyed and remained alive in the Dark World, and also explains that at the end of Link to the Past, Ganon got one piece of the Triforce, the royal family got another, and the third piece has vanished to reappear when the legendary Hero is needed again. |

It seems to only exist as an excuse to lead the player to the portal for the Ice Ruins section of Lorule's Death Mountain. The thief girl in the Thieves' Hideout, which veterans would predict is actually the boss, just like in the dungeon it's a homage to. She's not. |

comment |
Continuity Snarl: The intro claims that the Triforce was split and its parts went to their respective owners after Link made a wish at the end of A Link to The Past. However in the Oracle games, which take place between these two games in the timeline, the Triforce is whole and at the castle. Other differences in historical events imply that either this game is actually making reference to unshown events or historical records have been compromised. At least one version of the game claims that the decision to split the Triforce was made by the royal family after the events of A Link to The Past. The sages - often said to be descended from each other - feature various different species found in Hyrule including a zora. This is consistent with Ocarina of Time but not A Link to the Past where all the sages where humanoid. |

Regenerating Mana: The magic meter is replaced with an energy gauge that refills over time, and since it is used for every item, this is a necessity. |

No Man Should Have This Power |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_e888fbd8 |
comment |
No Man Should Have This Power: As was the case in Hyrule, the people of Lorule began to lust for their Triforce's limitless power, and many lives were lost as people warred over it. The Loruleans were sick of the gift from the gods. To put an end to this, Hilda's ancestors decided that their Triforce had become too much trouble, but rather than seal it away, they opted to completely destroy their Triforce. This has disastrous consequences. |

Check-Point Starvation |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_f09021fe |
comment |
Check-Point Starvation: Definitely something the first-time player will discover on Death Mountain if they go out of their way to grab a Piece of Heart and an empty bottle early in the game. They will have to contend with moving platforms over fiery molten rock chasms. Plus encounters with multiple Lynels, centaur-like beings that resemble fire-breathing lions, that take off three hearts per hit (twelve hearts in Hero Mode). These factors can easily screw up your no death run. In the Thieves' Hideout, unlike the other dungeons, you can't leave to save before the boss because the entrance closes shut when you pass by with the girl, which means if you lose to Stalblind, you'll have to do the Escort Mission all over again. And if you leave the dungeon with a Scoot Fruit, you still have to do the Escort Mission again. |

Redemption Equals Death: When Hilda finally allows Link and Zelda to return to Hyrule with the Triforce, she does so with the full knowledge that this means death for her ENTIRE WORLD. Fortunately this apocalypse is averted when Link and Zelda wish upon the Triforce to regenerate Lorule's own Triforce, resulting in a World-Healing Wave. |

Humans Need Aliens: Despairing over their crumbling world and feeling abandoned by the gods, the Loruleans have turned to the monsters for salvation. This has opened up the citizens to all manners of abuse conceivable, though on the flip-side, unlike Hyrule, people are more tolerating of them, and it's formed closer ties with some benign monsters as well. |

Dark Reprise: The Lorule equivalent to Hyrule Castle uses a darker version of the latter's theme song as its own, and it builds with each defeated boss. A harsh-sounding organ version of "Zelda's Lullaby" plays when Yuga turns her into a painting. |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Lorule, to A Link to the Past's Dark World. It isn't the same realm, but it is similar enough to be mistaken for it: Six of the Dark World dungeons make a return, and the seventh is likely an altered version of the last one. The same types of enemies are in the same locations, and the only thing missing is the Pyramid of Power, with Lorule Castle now in its location. Weirdly enough, the ending sees you visit the Sacred Realm (i.e. the Dark World freed from Ganon's influence). The witch Irene and her grandmother to Maple and Syrup, respectively. The Lorule fortune teller refers to the Lorule counterpart of Irene's grandmother as "Mapes", further hinting at the connection. The proprietors of the Hyrule and Lorule Milk Bars each resemble Talon and Ingo, respectively (the Hyrule barkeeper even gets his milk from an unseen Lon Lon Ranch). Which is funny, because those two were already Shout Outs to Mario and Luigi. Yuga is a cross between Ganondorf, Agahnim, Ganon, Chancellor Cole, and Ghirahim, and many other Zelda villains. He's fought as the first boss and has a personality like Ghirahim, he looks like Ganondorf's Distaff Counterpart (despite, y'know... still being male), he captures the sages to revive Ganon like Agahnim, and backstabs and merges with the full demonic power like Cole. |

Cosmic Keystone: The Triforce. Specifically Lorule's Triforce, which was destroyed by Princess Hilda's ancestors generations ago. Though they had good intentions in doing so (wanting to stop the constant fighting over its incredible power), they didn't realize until it was too late that the Triforce's existence kept their entire world from slowly crumbling into oblivion. |

Video Game Cruelty Potential |
| | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds / Videogame / int_f87c42d4 |
comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In addition to the classic staple of being able to attack Cuccos (and getting killed by them in retaliation), there is a peaceful Hinox (those cyclops monsters that normally throw bombs at you) living in a cave under a waterfall in the northeastern section of Lorule's Dark Palace region. He will quickly give you five rupees to make you not tell anyone where he's hiding. You can continue to extort him and the amount of rupees he gives increases. But if you extort him too much, he will call you a monster and try to kill you. Unlike the Cuccos, however, you can't unpress this Berserk Button by simply leaving the cave and going back in, as he'll still want you dead. In another example of the deliberate use of Money for Nothing in this game, you can unpress Hinox's Berserk Button by saving and quitting, and then reloading your save file, making extorting him a great way to get fast cash. |

Sequence Breaking: Enforced. The player has the ability to choose what dungeons to go to, since the items are in a centralized area. Out of the twelve dungeons, only four have to be done in some sort of order: Eastern Palace (Done first), Hyrule Castle (Requires Master Sword, which can only be retrieved after completing the Eastern Palace, House of Gales, and Tower of Hera), Desert Palace (Requires Sand Rod, which can only be acquired after the Thieves' Hideout is cleared), and Lorule Castle (Requires Triforce of Courage, which is acquired after all other dungeons are cleared). All other dungeons can be done as soon as they appear on the map. |

Artistic License — Physics: Lorule Castle has a portion which requires Link to move spiked balls out of his way by letting other spiked balls roll into them. As anyone who knows the basics about collisions (or even has just played pool) knows, the rolling ball should stop after hitting the stationary ball, which would leave Link just as stuck as before. |

You Shouldn't Know This Already: In the last phase of the final boss, you must shoot a Light Arrow away from Yuga so that it encircles the room and strikes him in the back. This does not work in the previous phases despite the circumstances allowing it to still be a viable option, as the arrows just disappear when you shoot them that way. Averted with the password in the Thieves Hideout. If you remember the song lyrics from an earlier playthrough, you can enter the dungeon without having to seek the clues in the town. |
