Analogies and 'Zelda', A-Z Trivia Quiz

Answer: Komali

If you didn't know that Zelda is a princess, then SHAME ON YOU!
Prince Komali is the prince of the Rito tribe in "Wind Waker" and Prince Ralis is the prince of the Zoras in "Twilight Princess", until his mother dies which makes him the king. Either of these answers were acceptable.

Answer: Kangaroo

Epona is Link's horse in games including "Ocarina of Time", "Majora's Mask", and "Twilight Princess". Ricky is the kangaroo from "Oracle of Ages"/"Oracle of Seasons". The name of the dodongo from "Oracle of Ages"/"Oracle of Seasons" is Dimitri, and the flying bear from the "Oracle of Ages"/"Oracle of Seasons" is called Moosh.

The owl's name from "Ocarina of Time" is Kaepora Gaebora and in "Link's Awakening" it is Kaepola Gaebola. There is no specific name of any warthog from "Twilight Princess".

Answer: False

The Keaton Mask does cost 10 rupees, and the guard that Link sells it to gives him an additional tip of 5 rupees (in "Ocarina of Time"). The Garo's Mask however is free; Link must simply beat the Gorman Brothers in a race around the Gorman Brothers' Track to attain it (in "Majora's Mask").

The mask that costs 500 rupees is the All-Night Mask which doesn't let Link fall asleep, allowing him to stay awake for the duration of Anju's grandmother's two stories. Link gets two pieces of heart for listening to both of them. You can buy the All-Night Mask from the Curiosity Shop on the 3rd day (this is also from "Majora's Mask").

Answer: Rod of Seasons

I hope you didn't fall for the trick and put Oracle of Seasons. This analogy is about the main item in the entire game.
The Rod of Seasons allows Link to literally change the four seasons as he pleases (once he has the ability to change all four of them). He can only do this while standing on a tree stump. Some of the obstacles throughout the game can only be overcome during a specific season, so this main item comes in really handy.

Answer: Vaati

Thunder Bird is the main boss of "Adventures of Link" and it is a tough one to beat, as I'm sure you know if you've played it. Vaati is the boss of "Minish Cap" as well as a boss in "Four Sword Adventures" (although not the main one). He actually is the main boss of "Four Swords" too (it came as a bundle with "A Link to the Past" for Gameboy), and I regret to admit that that's the only Zelda I haven't played because of the two-player minimum required for that game. "Four Sword Adventures" is very similar to it, however.

Answer: False

Holodrum is actually the main setting of "Oracle of Seasons". The main setting of "Oracle of Ages" is Labrynna. Termina is the main setting of "Majora's Mask". Link can visit both Labrynna and Holodrum if you complete one of the games and continue over to the other using the password, which I think is an excellent feature that only those two games have, making them special/original in comparison to many other "Zelda" games.

Answer: Gyorg

The boss of Arbiter's Grounds is Stallord (quite an entertaining battle in my opinion) in "Twilight Princess" and the boss of the Palace of Winds is Gyorg in "Minish Cap". Gyorg is also the name of the boss of the Great Bay Temple in "Majora's Mask" but the bosses themselves are very different.
Facade is the boss of Face Shrine in "Link's Awakening" and looks pretty similar to Gyorg of Palace of the Winds. Evil Eagle is also in "Link's Awakening" and is the boss of Eagle's Tower.

Answer: Hylian

At first we all thought Link was a Kokiri, but after his seven year slumber he grew up. But the Kokiri can't grow up... after beating the Forest Temple, Link learns his destiny from the Deku Tree Sprout who also informs him that he is a Hylian (from "Ocarina of Time").
He looks like a human because of his human-like form, and Hylians are basically humans with the exception of their elf-like pointy ears. Another race that is much like humans is the Gerudos, like Ganondorf and Nabooru.

Answer: Crystal shards

This analogy is about what happens right after you complete each dungeon. In "Ocarina of Time", you get medallions after having completed each dungeon. In "Adventures of Link", you place crystal shards in the final chamber which makes the dungeon collapse, bringing you one step closer to reaching the Great Palace. Link finds shards of the Triforce of Courage in "Legend of Zelda" and "Wind Waker". Link finds the seven maidens in "A Link to the Past". Link finds the eight instruments in "Link's Awakening".

Answer: False

In "Twilight Princess", the main item in the Temple of Time is the Dominion Rod. In "Minish Cap", the main item in the Temple of Droplets is the Flame Lantern. The Gust Jar is the main item in the Deepwood Shrine, still in "Minish Cap".

Answer: Majora's Mask

Madame Fanadi tells fortunes for Link for the low low price of 10 rupees in "Twilight Princess". She either predicts what Link must do next in his adventure or where "love" (pieces of hearts) can be found.
Madame Aroma is Kafei's mother in "Majora's Mask" and she's also the wife of the mayor in Clock Town. She gives Link Kafei's Mask so Link can wear it and ask people around town if they've seen him.

Answer: Rabbits

Cuccos are everywhere, in many Zelda games. They don't serve much of a purpose, except to help Link fly over to a distant elevated area where he couldn't reach on his own. In many "Zelda" games, if Link slashes cuccos enough times with his sword, it crows and retaliates by attacking Link back.

They hurt him a decent amount and can kill Link if he doesn't get away in a swift manner. Pols Voice are rabbit enemies which cannot be killed by the sword. They are found in dungeons and can be killed either by arrows, bombs, or a special tune Link can learn.

The exact method of killing them depends on the game.

Answer: Little boy in the graveyard

This analogy is about the effects that different masks make to different things. In "Majora's Mask", you use Don Gero's mask to talk to frogs to herd them together at the Mountain Village to sing/croak together. In "Ocarina of Time", you show the Hollow mask to the little boy walking around in the graveyard during the day.

He becomes obsessed with it because he thinks it will make him look like Dampe the gravekeeper and buys it from you, and in addition gives a tip.

Answer: True

Midna is Link's partner in "Twilight Princess" and she stays by his side for the entire game. Ezlo is Link's hat friend (actually a cursed Picori) who also stays with Link for the whole game. Tatl is Link's partner for "Majora's Mask" and Navi is Link's partner in "Ocarina of Time".

Answer: Queen Ambi

King Zora is the king of Zora's Domain in "Ocarina of Time". Queen Ambi is the queen of Labrynna in "Oracle of Ages". Both of these characters get affected by evil in some way. King Zora becomes a frozen statue in Zora's Domain when Link becomes an adult thanks to the monsters in the Water Temple. Queen Ambi gets possessed by Veran (the boss of the game) and it is up to Link to save her without slaying her.
