You got a Small Key! And a massive headache!

  • During the sword training sequence, Oshus will complain if you hit him instead of the targets.
  • Linebeck shaking Link until he's disoriented. Repeatedly.
  • Pick a scene with Linebeck and Ciela. Any scene.
  • Oshus' tendency to interrupt Link's trademark Item Get! pose, which doesn't just annoy, but also baffles him.
  • Linebeck accidentally knocking over Stone Tetra in the background, and then hastily setting her back up, all while Oshus tells Link important plot details.
  • Ciela essentially being Navi with a huge portion of short-temperedness. Paired with Linebeck's Jerk with a Heart of Gold tendencies, Hilarity Ensues.
  • There's this one weird bearded Link cosplayer, sailing around in something that looks uncomfortably like the King of Red Lions...along with other weird people you meet in this game.
  • The game's penchant for deliberately subverting the "TREASURE GET" sting:
    • The "TREASURE GET" Sting after Linebeck shakes you is priceless.
      DA-NA-NA-DAWowowow~
    • And for good measure, the "TREASURE GET" sting about a minute before that one, when you open the chest with the key, only to find that it's been emptied already. The sting abruptly stops halfway through, so we get:
      DA-NA-NA-
    • And, if that still isn't enough messing with the "TREASURE GET" sting, there's the Rupoor variation:
      DA-NA-NA-DOoOoo... [Link cringes as he looks at the Rupoor]
    • Presenting the Phantom Hourglass when needed gets it snatched impatiently out of your hands.
      DA-NA-NA- [Oshus grabs the Phantom Hourglass, leaving Link looking shocked]
    • The "Mysterious Thing" from the Man of Smiles are the Hero's New Clothes. When "obtained", Link is holding nothing in the air and looks confused as the Item Get! sting is cut short.
  • Right before the subverted Item Get! with the Phantom Hourglass, Oshus takes the Phantom Blade from Link and gives it a few practice swings...and almost slashes Link in the process, who reacts by screaming and ducking.
  • At the end of the game, the Ocean King offers Linebeck a single wish in return for his help. Linebeck asks to have his ship, which was sunk earlier, returned to him. This is supposed to show how much Linebeck has changed over the course of the adventure, but it can potentially have the opposite effect if the player went to the trouble of collecting all eight Golden ship parts, each of which is worth a colossal sum of Rupees, collectively making the S.S. Linebeck the most valuable thing on the entire ocean.
