YMMV / The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1999)

• Ass Pull: Link having Volvagia as a pet when he was child, even though during the segments with Link as child we never saw Volvagia at any point.
• Base-Breaking Character: As if Sheik didn't break the base enough in the canon game, the manga interpretation of Sheik breaks it more. Because Sheik is "his" own consciousness in Zelda's body, rather than Zelda doing the job by herself, Sheik is liked and disliked for that same reason.
• Complete Monster: Ganondorf is presented here as a selfish and sociopathic king who wishes to conquer Hyrule. He transforms a harmless spider into the monstrous Gomha which kills the Great Deku Tree; almost starves the Gorons to death; and takes power by murdering Zelda's father and nearly killing a young Link. As ruler of Hyrule, Ganondorf brainwashes the Gerudo tribe, kills the guardians of Kokiri Forrest so it will be overrun with monsters, and freezes Zora's Domain. In his most monstrous act, Ganondorf transforms Volvagia, a sapient dragon who was Link's friend, into a mindless beast that threatens to destroy Hyrule with a volcanic eruption, forcing Link to kill it.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • A bonus story involves a race of bird people, quite similar to the Rito in Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild. Better yet, it's in the "Adult" time. Even better? The developers for Wild stated they based the more bird-like Rito of Wild's time on the bird people from the manga.
  • The other bonus story depicts the Skull Kids and one who just wants friends. And a nice mask. Hmm... Foreshadowing?
• Take That, Scrappy!: Link occasionally gets fed up with Navi and talks back.
