The Cameo: Chapter 8 features brief appearances from the Happy Mask Salesman, Fi, and Dark Link.Queen Oren in her bloated form is described as a "HUMONGOUS green.The chasms that tear apart Lorule have no bottom in sight.Several dungeons, leading Link to wonder how that's even possible."For an adorable, seven year old, fully cheeked, short boy with blond hair, cute freckles and wide sparkly blue eyes, Gulley could surely be a jerk." He is all to gleeful to shove Link into the wolves. Bratty Half-Pint: Gulley is very fond of trolling Link.Link is more than baffled, and decides not to think about it. Bizarrchitecture: All the dungeons contain a Bottomless Pits that should be impossible to exist, because there are floors beneath them.Considering that Hilda herself had several similar complaints in her desk, it's easy to imagine that she just relegated everything to Ravio.

This also counts as Gameplay and Story Segregation. Adaptation Distillation: All non-money treasure chests, rupees on the field, pots and most bonus caves are removed.Fi suppresses the worst of the pain, or any sudden flare ups, so Link can still feel them but not be hindered. This is how he can tell that he's near-by, that he kidnapped Irene (he sensed traces of his magic on her broom), and where the painting in Thieves' Town is hidden. Achey Scars: Doubled with My Significance Sense Is Tingling, Link's magic scar aches whenever he's near traces of Yuga's magic.
