* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: An interesting case as just about everyone else treats Fi as being a fully sentient person despite her origins as sword spirit...except Fi herself. Her continual insistence on treating herself as purely a robotic being crafted by the goddesses, and to have no interests or desires for herself is troubling to Link, and Robbie (after getting very excited at meeting her) outright makes it clear that he views her as one of the finest sentient beings he's ever seen created, and [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre that she severely undersells herself as a person to her own detriment.]] Unfortunately, due to less than stellar phrasing, Fi ends up taking offense, because to be sentient (and thus not the perfect sword spirit in her eyes) is something that ''shouldn't'' happen, and that it only proves her as a failure.

* TinMan: A large part of Fi's character arc is facing the reality that not only is she not an emotionless being that she tries very hard to pretend to be, but that it's alright for her to actively want things for herself and to be selfish about it. Her initial difficulties with facing this truth (and subsequent pain after [[InnocentlyInsensitive Robbie bluntly tells her that she's a thinking being who deserves much better]] than to restrict herself to being anything less) ends up causing a lot of emotional turmoil that nearly leads to her trying to return back to the Master Sword for her eternal slumber. Fortunately, this is barely averted after a talk with Daruk, and she becomes more willing to accept her own desires and interests.

* BerserkButton: The Yiga Clan have several, including Link and anyone who hates [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Mighty Bananas.]] However, the one thing that will drive all Yiga up the wall is betraying their FamilyOfChoice, due to Hyrule's royal family and the Sheikah turning their backs on them. Lord Ghirahim leaving Sheik for dead proves to be the last straw to their shaky alliance, and the Yiga chooses to accept a truce with the Gerudo rather than risk losing even more of their clan. [[spoiler: This also ends up applying to Sheik's abusive parents, Pina and Gamon, as the former finds out after she is exiled from Kakariko for trying to murder her son.]]

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Another layer to the irony of Revali's disappearance is driven by the fact that none of the Ritos in Rito Village expected their Champion to be so young (and thus not exactly very tall), and as a result none of them can really help find Revali since they simply don't know what he looks like. It's also a point of distress among the more family-oriented types just how many of the Champions (Mipha, Zelda, Link and Revali) are barely young adults.

** Being made of metal also makes [[spoiler: Ghirahim]] ''very vulnerable'' to magnetic pull, as Zelda finds out by when she tries to use the Magnesis Rune on their sword...only to accidentally grab his entire being and fling him off Vah Medoh by mistake.

* LogicalWeakness: For all that Ghirahim is a powerful demon lord, he is also still a sword spirit, and thus made entirely of ''metal''. [[ShockAndAwe Urbosa's Fury]], as a result, is absolutely ''devastating'' against them. This ends up being taken to absurd degrees, since she can basically summon lightning on command, even in places where lightning shouldn't be able to exist, much to their agonized frustration.

* DeathByAdaptation: Officially in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'', [[spoiler: Master Kohga survived his fall into the Depths and returned as a boss. In this story however, Master Kohga is presumed dead.]] This has dramatic ramifications, as this event drives the Yiga Clan to [[DealWithTheDevil make a dangerous deal with someone]] much worse than him, [[spoiler: Demon Lord Ghirahim.]]

** [[spoiler: Sheik's parents, Pina and Gamon aren't any better, being fanatically devoted to their hatred of Sheikah tech to the point that when they found out about their barely ''six year old'' son's curiosity about the ancient technology, they try to ''murder'' him out of the belief that it was better for him to be dead than to be a heathen. This absolutely enrages just about everyone who finds out, including Impa, Purah, Zelda, Paya, and the entirety of Kakariko Village. Robbie, [[ParentsAsPeople who by his own admission isn't the best parent]], finds this to be absolutely repulsive. When Pina tries to justify her actions by citing Purah being disowned by her family, Impa corrects her by pointing out that they did so because of their fear of what the more cruel members of the Sheikah ''like Pina'' would do to her, disowning her to protect her. Impa frankly notes that even when her parents didn't understand Purah's interests, [[EveryoneHasStandards they never would have gone to the depths that Pina and her husband did.]]]]

* IHatePastMe: As "Varel", Revali ends up having less than positive feelings about his past self, especially after reading his old diary, seeing himself as not only an [[ArrogantKungFuGuy arrogant blowhard who was so fixated on his own petty disdain of Link while utterly failing to recognize his own shortcomings as a Champion,]] but also not necessary anymore for failing stop the Calamity and not even showing to help protect his village [[spoiler: from Lord Ghirahim.]] The sheer irony aside, this ends up proving to be a massive headache for Link when [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind he has to go into Revali's mind]] to get Varel to remember his true identity, as the latter doesn't exactly ''want'' to remember by that point.
