** "I like trains."

* OutOfFocus:
** The author consciously tries to avert that kind of stuff. Dusk and Lore, due to their popularity, tend to get a bit more of the spotlight than the others, but every Link gets his own distinct personality and character moments.
** The villains mostly escape this too, since the way the story is structured means that each one gets ADayInTheLimelight. That said, some of them (read: any large pig things named Ganon) have rather interchangeable personalities.

* CrazyAwesome: [[CloudCuckooLander Lore]] is easily the most prominent example, but pretty much all of the Links qualify at one point or another. Except maybe [[OnlySaneMan Dusk]], who's plenty awesome but not particularly crazy - or at least, [[CrazySane not obviously]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Dusk is arguably the most popular of the Links, due to his levelheadedness, badassery, and TeamMom tendencies. Even the author has admitted to needing to remind themselves not to give Dusk too much of the spotlight.

* OutOfFocus: The author is aware of this trope and made sure to avert it. Dusk and Lore, due to their popularity, tend to get a bit more of the spotlight than the others, but every Link gets his own distinct personality and character moments.

* MagnificentBastard: [[BunnyEarsLawyer Lore]] might not seem to fit the traditional image at first, but he's a master of manipulating his opponents. His methods are deliberately so [[RefugeInAudacity bizarre]] and [[CrazyEnoughToWork insane]] that the bad guys never catch on until it's too late. And, as the Christmas special proves, he's not above doing this to his allies either.

* MemeticLoser: Zant is this InUniverse. His mental instability (spectacularly [[CloudCuckooLander exaggerated]] and PlayedForLaughs in this fic) make him a bit of a punching bag for the rest of the villains. Most of the Links also see him as this, except for Dusk, who [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass knows not to underestimate the guy]]. The Chapter 27 rewrite makes it a point that Zant was still a key part in why Hyrule was covered in Twilight, that he's actually [[SmarterThanYouLook quite intelligent]], and that he's ''terrifying'' when he focuses - as Twilight Ganondorf notes, while it's a trial to get him to focus, once he does, the results are spectacular.

*** Wind and Vaati dueling with their weather manipulation powers. They basically end up throwing hurricanes at each other.

*** Dusk oneshotting Oracle Ganon.

*** Dusk oneshotting Original Ganon.

** On the villains' side, Demise. The first fight in the fic results in Demise delivering a CurbStompBattle to the Links, largely because they (and the three goddesses) weren't prepared for him to have all the powers of every Zelda villain ever. The Links only escape because the three goddesses decide to intervene directly to help them, which makes them a target of Demise.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Plenty, from heroes and villains alike.

*** Ganondorf (all three incarnations) also put up pretty impressive fights. Among the villains, they stand out by being powerful without being [[SanityHasAdvantages insane]] or [[GeniusBruiser dumb]]. Their battles end up being even longer and more difficult than the ones in canon.
** On the heroes' side, the Links get their own back pretty quickly after their loss to Demise, finishing off each boss in more spectacular fashion than the last. Special mention goes to:
*** Dusk oneshotting Original Ganon.
*** Wind and Vaati dueling with their weather manipulation powers. They basically end up throwing hurricanes at each other.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** Any time Lore fights a boss. Especially when he starts talking.
** "I like trains."

* MagnificentBastard: When Lore makes a plan to get the drop on the villains, it tends to work flawlessly. This is because his methods are deliberately so bizarre and insane that the bad guys [[CrazyEnoughToWork never catch on]] until it's too late. And, as the Christmas special proves, he's not above doing this to his allies either.

** Lore is also well-liked due to his sheer insanity.
