* AdaptationalJerkass: He was already pretty abrasive in ''Breath of the Wild'', but here, because he is very much alive and thus able to act, he's even more of a jackass, especially to Link. Their first meeting here put them in conflict with one another due to a misunderstanding, and with Link's sudden impossible reaction to Revali's maneuver, resulting in his arrow being blocked at point-blank, implied he may very well have come on top had things continued, if Zelda had not intervened when she did. Even then, despite experiencing first hand what Link is capable of, his attitude towards him was that of indifference and dismissal, instead of acknowledgement. Revali's biting diss when the party goes seeking out the Master Sword sounds less like Revali griping at Link feeling out of place, and more like hoping that Link will drop dead from his words alone. His attitude with the other Champions is also very telling, with both Daruk and Urbosa clearly annoyed with his hostility, and Mipha [[TranquilFury getting noticeably pent-up]] when he insults Link within her earshot.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: DownplayedTrope. The other champions may know he is an important teammate, and they respect his skill enough to compliment his abilities in battle, and Revali himself geniunely praises his teammates' abilities at various moments. However there are times when his cockiness and dismissal towards Link can annoy them and they won't hesitate to call him out on it. It's even more telling when [[spoiler:Teba, the Rito to succeed him,]] holds Link in higher regards than him.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As this was during the past where he wasn't yet humbled by his defeat from the Windblight Ganon, he is more outwardly a {{Jerkass}}. He's arguably worse in this timeline, as he's seen in cutscenes dismissing the others worth in the coming battle. Despite this, he has a soft, caring side that shows up from time to time. Revali genuinely cares about the well-being of his home and people, and will not hesitate to fly into battle if it means protecting them. He'll also show respect where it's due, if not begrudgingly, when there's clear evidence against his personal views and thoughts. There's also various moments in-game where Revali will praise his teammates sincerely and with little hesitation. Finally, he works quite well with [[spoiler:Teba,]] and actually praises his skill on multiple occasions, despite the latter's disenchanted behavior, and is quite cordial with his interactions with him during the Vah Medoh mission. Also in ''Guardian of Remembrance'', [[spoiler:he's revealed to be a FriendToAllChildren through his bond with Teba's son, Tulin, and encouraging him to pursue his goal of becoming a great Rito warrior like him.]]

* SelfMadeMan: Unlike the other Champions who are of royal lines, and born with powerful magic, Revali is not of any noble stock and had to develop all of his skills out of his own blood, sweat and tears.

* RebuiltPedestal: In the ''Guardian of Remembrance'' DLC, [[spoiler:Teba starts seeing Revali in a new positive light when he reveals his own soft spot for kids through his bond with his son Tulin, even sharing a laugh with him after Tulin imitates Revali's speaking patterns. His cutscene with them at the secret ending further cements it, with him happily watching Revali watch over Tulin while he naps.]]

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: DownplayedTrope. The other champions may know he is an important teammate, and they respect his skill enough to compliment his abilities in battle, and Revali himself geniunely praises his teammates' abilities at various moments. However there are times when his cockiness and dismissal towards Link can annoy them and they won't hesitate to call him out on it. It's even more telling when [[spoiler:Teba, his successor,]] holds Link in higher regards than him.

* BrokenPedestal: In the final act of the game, [[spoiler:Teba is somewhat disenchanted by Revali's arrogance and bad attitude -- particularly towards Link. In ''Guardian of Remembrance'', however, [[RebuiltPedestal he starts seeing Revali in a new positive light upon seeing that he does have a heart of gold, especially regarding kids, like his son]]]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: He was already pretty abrasive in ''Breath of the Wild'', but here, because he is very much alive and thus able to act, he's even more of a jackass, especially to Link. Their first meeting here put them in conflict with one another due to a misunderstanding, and with Link's sudden impossible reaction to Revali's maneuver, resulting in his arrow being blocked at point-blank, implied he may very well have come on top had things continued, if Zelda had not intervened when she did. Even then, despite experiencing first hand what Link is capable of, his attitude towards him what that of indifference and dismisal, instead of acknowledgement. Revali's biting diss when the party goes seeking out the Master Sword sounds less like Revali griping at Link feeling out of place, and more like hoping that Link will drop dead from his words alone. His attitude with the other Champions is also very telling, with both Daruk and Urbosa clearly annoyed with his hostility, and Mipha [[TranquilFury getting noticeably pent-up]] when he insults Link within her earshot.

* BadassBiker: She is the only fighter who can use the Master Cycle Zero and its other variants. What's even more hilarious is the fact the text acknowledges that the original Master Cycle was meant only for Link, but Zelda fell in love with the design and personally asked Robbie and Purah to make a replica for her alone.

* ThisCannotBe: This is his reaction when Windblight Ganon has him on the ropes. [[spoiler:They might have been his last words if not for Teba's intervention]].

* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: King Rhoam seldom smiles throughout this game and the same is said for ''Breath of the Wild'', and for the most part, from losing his wife, his daughter struggling to activate her power, and dealing with the reality of Calamity Ganon's impending return, he obviously does not have a reason. [[spoiler:Once he survives a Guardian attack during the Great Calamity, and is later reunited, he actually smiles for the very first time when [[SoProudOfYou he tells Zelda how proud he is of her for coming so far.]]]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original game, he was originally killed by the Windblight Ganon [[spoiler:but is spared this fate by Teba arriving from the future and saving him at the last minute, and ultimately saved for real with the arrival of Link fending off Windblight Ganon.]]

%%zce* ThisCannotBe: This is his reaction when Windblight Ganon has him on the ropes. [[spoiler:They might have been his last words if not for Teba's intervention]].

* PapaWolf: No matter how complicated their relationship is, Rhoam will never this fact prevent him from attacking any foe that tries to hurt or kill his daughter. The one Guardian got the full brunt of it when it was aiming at her and Link.
