** The [[spoiler:defeating of Anansi in a high-speed chase]]. The author seems to like chase scenes a lot.
* FemaleSuccessIsFamily - Jessica has achieved the rank of major in MICO at a young age due to her family being nobility and the governing family of one of Gerudo's provinces. Many in MICO and the Gerudo military who know about this give her a hard time about it, seeing her as taking a cheap shortcut. It comes without the UnfortunateImplications, however, since everyone else is female.
** In a gender-inversion, Steven is a major in Valentine military intelligence who got his rank because his father is a three-star general in the army; he's aware of this enough to attempt to learn from his more competent and experienced colleagues, Alexandria and Juno, who are female.

* LadyLand - Gerudo, for obvious reasons. Unlike canon, however, there are a small number of Gerudo men aside from Ganondorf in society. Modern science has caught up, and has not only identified chromosome anomalies as the reason behind the gender ratio, but has also begun to use gene manipulation to correct this. The women in power are shown to be no more benevolent or tyrannical as leaders in other countries.
* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail - The author's justification towards the complaint that practically every "NPC" has a name; giving every character detail makes it more difficult for readers to figure out who's a Chekhov's Gunman, and who will be important to the plot later.

The Valentine military seems pretty gender-balanced, so there are plenty of female deaths on their side as well. There's also [[spoiler:Lily, who is female and the only civilian to die on-screen so far]].
