8	!!''Hyrule Warriors: Heroes Through Time'' contains examples of the following tropes:
9	* AccidentalPervert: At the end of chapter 3, Wizzro, while going to give Cia his mission report, ends up walking in on her taking a bath. While Wizzro initially flips out and apologizes, Cia calmly brushes it off, deadpanning, "I highly doubt seeing me in a bathtub will scar you for life."
10	* AdaptationExpansion:
11	** The fic follows the game's plot, but adds additional content, such as the Time Gazers, a clan of time-controlling witches that Cia and Lana belonged to, as well as adding in Groose, Pipit, and Scrapper during the Skyloft chapter. The fic also incorporates some of Cia's storyline as well.
12	** The wolf that appears as part of Midna's moveset is actually a pet that she created, inspired by the Link of her time.
13	** Both Tingle and Young Link have a role to play in the story, with Tingle charting out the Temple of the Sacred Sword and Young Link stepping in to help with the battle against Ganondorf.
14	* AgonyBeam: Cia has quite the habit of using magical lightning on Volga and Wizzro whenever they talk back to her.
15	* AndIMustScream[=/=]PeoplePuppets: In Chapter 3, Wizzro uses his magic to momentarily take control of Link in an attempt to kill Impa, Lana, and Sheik. Link is fully aware of what's happening, but is unable to override Wizzro's control. Even speaking under his thrall takes a considerable amount of effort. Sheik frees him by using a Sheikah nerve technique to disable his arms and then smashing his head against the ground.
16	* BadBoss:
17	** While she already displayed such traits in [[VideoGame/HyruleWarriors the game itself]], Cia takes it even further here by zapping [[CoDragons Volga and Wizzro]] with [[AgonyBeam dark magic lightning]] whenever they question her orders or simply talk back to her.
18	** Wizzro also has shades of this, as he frequently insults and berates the Dark Forces and even kills a few of them when they report that Zelda is nowhere to be found.
19	* BearerOfBadNews: Whenever Cia suffers a setback, Wizzro is usually the one to deliver the bad news.
20	* BigDamnHeroes: Young Link arrived in full Fierce Deity Mask mode, saving the current Link and Zelda from Ganondorf.
21	* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:Young Link and Navi.]]
22	* BookDumb: Link confesses to being as such, having been more of an athlete than a bookworm, as well as falling asleep in class. As a result, he's largely unaware of such things as the legend of the chosen hero.
23	* ButtMonkey: Wizzro gets this treatment, as he's constantly abused by both Volga and Cia.
24	* CanonMarchesOn: For a given degree of "canon" considering the main game is [[WordOfGod officially]] non-canon, anyway. The story's initial chapters were published between the main game's PAL and US releases, and thus DLC events like Linkle's Tale and the ''Wind Waker'' post-game chapter are not included. As a result, Tetra and Toon Link do not appear, nor does Phantom Ganon, who was draining a NotQuiteDead Cia, who had simply disappeared and was '''presumed''' dead after her LastStand. See DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation and SparedByTheAdaptation below.
25	* CompanionCube: Cia uses her CrystalBall as this, using it to spy on Link and speak to him.
26	* ControlFreak: Cia has shades of this. Her immediate response to even the ''slightest'' question of her authority is to zap Wizzro or Volga with dark lightning.
27	* DeadpanSnarker: Cia, as usual.
28	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Instead of dying after a prolonged battle with the heroes and draining her life force to fuel her magic, Cia is restrained by magic vines summoned by Lana, and Zelda shoots her with a Light Arrow. [[spoiler:The "Dies" part is subverted by Lana afterwards, though.]]
29	* DoubleEntendre: As always, Cia seems literally incapable of opening her mouth without making some kind of sexual innuendo.
30	* DudeLooksLikeALady: In Chapter 5, Volga uses this trope to taunt Ghirahim during their fight.
31	-->'''Volga:''' You're not so bad yourself... for someone that looks like a woman. Are you sure it's ''Lord'' Ghirahim and not ''Lady'' Ghirahim?
32	* FantasticRacism: As always, Volga despises humans, and when Cia suggests working with Skyloft's humans, Volga immediately objects to the idea. Sadly, Cia will have none of it.
33	-->'''Volga:''' Work with human scum?! Out of the question!
34	* ForcefulKiss: Cia gives one to Link in their final confrontation.
35	* IfICantHaveYou: When Link makes it clear to Cia that he will never love her because of all of the destruction she's caused, Cia [[VillainousBreakdown snaps]] and decides to kill him.
36	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In chapter 16, Lana finally snaps and dishes out one to Cia:
37	-->'''Cia''': What are you doing?! Can't you see I'm doing this for y--\
38	[''Lana cuts her off with an ElementalPunch to the face'']\
39	'''Lana''': No! Not for me! This was ''never'' for me! [[ItsAllAboutMe This was for you]]! This has ''always'' been about you! Because the ''only'' thing you care about is ''you''! Have you ever stopped to think about ''anything'' other than your [[VillainousCrush relentless lust]]?! Oh wait, [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder I can answer that]]. No! Because you're too busy [[SingleTargetSexuality swooning over one guy]] when there are thousands of others. And look at you! You're [[CastFromHitPoints killing yourself]] over your stupid, petty jealousy! Do yourself and everyone a favor and think of something other than your hormones, you stupid [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!
40	* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Link tells Cia he's not in love with Zelda, but he's not going to love her either for endangering people's lives.
41	* ShipTease: Impa of all people does this in Chapter 3 with Link and Lana, saying that Link is only suggesting they trust her because he thinks she's cute.
42	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:After lethally injuring her, Lana offers to save Cia's life by [[SplitPersonalityMerge re-uniting with her]], so that the dark Cia and the light Lana end up becoming the full Cia yet again.]]
43	* StrawMisogynist: Volga, shown in this exchange between him and Lana in chapter 4.
44	-->'''Volga:''' Driven to my knees by mere females? Laughable! Amusing how they always get the better of me in a fight.\
45	'''Lana:''' Ugh! Evil ''and'' sexist.
46	* SuddenlyVoiced: HeroicMime doesn't apply to Link here.
47	* ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels: Link's reaction when he sees all the statues of himself.
48	* TranquilFury: In Chapter 8, Princess Ruto surprisingly manages this. After Sheik and Impa free Darunia from the Poe's control, Darunia frees the captured Zora Princess and begs forgiveness. Ruto doesn't immediately respond but calmly retrieves her bracelets... before blasting Darunia with water and going into a [[RageBreakingPoint full-blown rant.]]
49	* {{Troll}}:
50	** In Chapter 2, when Impa demands from Wizzro the location of Princess Zelda, Wizzro taunts her by saying that he probably fed her to King Dodongo or had her limbs tied to horses. What makes this worse is that even he didn't know where Zelda was and said that just to mess with her.
51	** In Chapter 5, Cia [[InTheBack blasts Ghirahim from behind with a dark magic blast]], interrupting his fight with Volga, much to the Dragon Knight's chagrin. She even admits that she did that just to mess with him.
52	* VillainessesWantHeroes: Like canon, Cia lusts after Link.
53	* YourSoulIsMine: While mostly an InformedAbility in the game, in here Wizzro is shown to have the ability to drain the souls out of victims, horrifically emaciating their bodies as a result.
