1. Alongside Midna and Sulkaris, Majora is one of the few voiced characters in Hyrule: Total War, speaking in an unknown language during its dialogue. Majora's Mask is based on a stylized owl head. Majora's favored forms, a serpent and a tree, are a reference to the Abrahamic story of Adam and Eve. No more idols! The pedestals shall fall!
2. Hyrule's military plays a larger role in Hyrule Warriors as the Hyrulean Forces, who fight to protect the kingdom in the war waged by the Dark Forces. Hyrule's military is joined by Hylian soldiers as well as Gorons.

Hyrule Total War Majora Pc

Hyrule Conquest (formerly known as Hyrule: Total War), is a fan total overhaul mod for the free Real-Time Strategy game 0 A.D. based on the The Legend of Zelda series. Created by modder UndyingNephalim, it allows players to take command of many iconic characters and races from the series in a RTS format.

Formerly a mod for Medieval II: Total War started in 2011, the game was ported to 0 A.D.'s Pyrogenesis engine in 2017, due to the former's engine limitations, with regular updates adding in more characters and playable factions. Sweetening the deal in the porting is that, while Medieval II costs $19.99 on Steam, 0 AD is 100% free, meaning more people will have access to the mod, and is also 100% open-source, meaning the creator has free reign to make the game however he wants.

The mod can be downloaded from ModDB here.

Not to be confused with Hyrule Warriors.

This Game Provides Examples of:

Hyrule Total War Majora Cheats

• Abnormal Ammo: Quite a few. Gohma ranged units and buildings lob their own sterile young at foes, the Sheikah and Oocca use magic-based cannons, Sheikah Needlestorms fire giant needles, and the Moblins favor coating their siege weaponry in their own waste.
• A Commander Is You:
  • Kingdom of Hyrule: Generalist. A strong all-round selection of troops, but does not excel at anything.
  • Gerudo: Ranger. The best archers and light cavalry in the game, offset by a near-complete lack of armour.
  • Gorons: Elitist/Brute. Gorons hit hard, with their infantry almost as strong as other factions' cavalry. Just don't expect them to perform well from afar.
  • Zora: Elitist/Ranger/Loyal. Very powerful ranged troops and artillery, not as good in melee due to lack of armour. They have the best morale in the game.

  Advertisement:

  • Kokiri: Spammer/Guerrilla. Many soldiers who do not tire easily and move fast, but individually are weak and prone to fleeing.
  • Gohma: Spammer/Brute. Pretty much the definition of Zerg Rush, with the exception of some powerful high-end units. They cannot even initiate diplomacy.
  • Ordona Province: Brute/Technical/Economist. The best cavalry in the game, backed with a bonus to farming income. They can also pit eagles and goats at enemies.
  • Lanayru Province: Ranger/Guerrilla. Good at mobility and fighting at range, but not so great up close due to light armor.
  • Moblins: Brute. All about charging with raw, brute force.
  • Deku Tribes: Spammer/Guerrilla/Technical/Pariah. Huge numbers of varied units, expert at hiding, boasts the worst morale in the game, and nearly every unit has the ability to spit seeds at enemies.
  • Stalfos: Spammer/Generalist/Industrial/Loyal. Stalfos troops are recruited from the dead of those armies they defeat, letting them assemble a powerful and balanced but brittle force that neither tires nor routs.
  • Darknut Legion: Elitist/Brute. The core of the Darknut army consists of heavy infantry and cavalry. While lighter and ranged units are present as well, their quality is not exactly high and they mostly serve as support alongside the rare artillery and the varied mercenaries that the Darknuts can hire more easily than other factions.
  • Lizalfos: Guerrilla/Ranger. Light, fast units, specializing in flanking and ambushing.
  • Labrynna Regime: Ranger/Research. Most soldiers have poor melee skills but have the best guns and cannons in the game. They are also the most technologically advanced faction, able to field tanks and organ guns.
  • Fairies of Tarm: Spammer/Ranger. The bestGlass Cannons in the game, who can quickly kill enemies with dazzling beams of death, but can as easily be swatted aside by normal soldiers.
  • Sheikah: Elitist/Guerrilla/Espionage. Very small units able to hide anywhere, outmanoeuvre enemies, and gain a massive bonus in flanking. Basically melee glass cannons. Also able to subtly influence neighbours one way or another in the campaign.
  • Kingdom of Ikana: Elitist/Generalist. Experienced, high-quality troops that cannot be replaced easily.
  • Order of the Wizzrobe: Technical/Ranger/Diplomatic. An order of avian wizards. They are devastating at a distance, but terrible up close. Each wizard attacks with a specific element. Can cause rebellions in vulnerable provinces by converting the local population and inciting revolt.
  • River Zora: Brutal/Industrial. A faction of raiders, they can train more troops from what they pillage in conquered cities.
• Action Girl: Every girl.
• Adaptational Badass:
  • All the races and kingdoms that needed Link to save them before? They have their own armies and can fight now.
  • Pretty much every female character that's ever appeared in Zelda series suddenly kicks ass.
  • Particular faction examples include the Kokiri, who go from being terrified of weak monsters in-game to tribes of feral children with knives, the Deku Scrubs, who go from a joke enemy to a tribal alliance of murderously violent shrubbery, and Ordona, who go from a bunch of villagers terrified of a single wolf to a powerful feudal state.
  • The Anouki stand out as the biggest example. Take a look at their original game design, then watch their sketches for this game.
  'Holy depth and meaning Batman! The Anouki have been given a deep culture, mythos, background, and written language! I never expected those teletubbies to end up like this!'
  'Never underestimate a disappointed fan with no life and a point to prove, Robin.'
• Adaptational Heroism: Both Ganon and Ganondorf are a lotmorenoble than their canon portrayals. Demise is still evil for the most part, but has a warped sense of honor, unlike its Demonic kin.
• Adaptational Villainy:
  • Nylin Zelda Nohansen I, the first hylian monarch to bear the title of Princess Zelda, was a cold, militaristic, and xenophobic ruler, and killed an unarmed Ganon in cold blood.
  • In canon, Hylia is a benevolent God of Good. Here, she's a manipulative mass murderer who has let Hyrule be nearly destroyed over and over out of revenge.
  • In canon, Agitha is a cheerful NPC you collect golden bugs for in exchange for upgrades in Twilight Princess and benevolent player character in Hyrule Warriors), here she's the insane voice of the Gohma.
  • Oren, the River Zora Sage from A Link Between Worlds is Oren Sokuuf, the manipulative and bloodthirsty Queen of the Zola.
• Adorkable: Look at Ralph's little goggles. Awww.
• The Ageless: Several:
  • The First Sages were Spirits tasked to be the immortal guardians of the Triforce by the Goddesses. The later Sages would inherit their immortality along with their other powers.
  • The Spirits of Hyrule, such as Fi, Ghirahim, and Ono Mouzan, are immortal and persist long after the mortal kingdoms of Hyrule have fallen.
  • The Kokiri and Zalunbar, who are kept from aging by the Great Deku Tree and by Vaati, respectively.
• A God Am I:
  • Zig-Zagged by Hylia. She was once a Hylian infused with magic power that turned her into a Physical God; as a result, people began worshiping her above the Goddesses themselves. When Demise made her realize her crimes, she withdrew from Hyrule and asked the Wizzrobes for sanctuary. The Wizzrobes agreed to grant it, and erased every trace of her existence in exchange for the knowledge of her magical powers. Now, she's come back with the Order of the Wizzrobes and she's gathering more followers in an attempt to re-establish her rule over Hyrule.
  • Zalunbar, who is revered as a god by other Darknuts and serves as Vaati's puppet with the promise of becoming a real deity.
• Alas, Poor Villain:
  • Senturon, who was been forced by Vaati into a ruinous campaign to steal the Triforce from the Wind Tribe. When he chooses to rebel against his control, he gets effortlessly (and brutally) killed by him.
  • Ganon, poor Ganon. All he wanted was to end the millennia-long strife between Hylians and Moblins, bringing back all the people who died because of him and living together in a peaceful world.
• All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Ganon's invasion of Hyrule: with a few months, he's already taken control of most of the Kingdom's territory, including Lon Lon Ranch, Kakariko Village, and capital of Hyrule Prime itself.
• Alternate Continuity: Word of God says that this game has no ties to the official games in the series, on account of the official timeline being somewhat confusing.
• Amazing Technicolor Battlefield: Any battle against the Fairies of Tarm.
• Amazon Brigade: Most factions field female soldiers, and in the case of the Gerudo], entire armies composed entirely of women. Gender-inverted by [[SoulPoweredEngine Iron Knuckles, who are the Spirits of long-dead male Gerudo Kings brought back to fight for the Gerudo.
• Annoying Arrows: Typically averted: A Rain of Arrows is a very good way to take out a boss unit.
• Anti-Cavalry: The Labrynna Regime, with their Late Renaissance/early Baroque aesthetic, are devoted to this school of thought.
• Arcadia: Ordona Province and Horon. Literally, in the form of Arcadia from the The Legend of Zelda cartoon series.
• Armor Is Useless: Against magic units, whose attacks ignore armor values.
• Art Evolution: Undyingnephalim's skill with 3D modelling and animation has improved significantly since he began the mod in 2011. Many factions such as the Order of Wizzrobe are garishly detailed. Compare the Order of Wizzrobes before◊ and after◊. With release of Hyrule Warriors and Videogame/Breath of the Wild many visual cues from newer Zelda games have worked their way into unit and building designs.
• Artificial Stupidity:
  • Implementing a custom AI set from 0 A.D.'s Petra AI has proven the ingame AI was never particularly suited for highly irregular or symmetrical design. Factions with unusual building styles have had difficulty properly functioning under AI control.
• Assassins Are Always Betrayed: Inverted with the Sheikah, whose first character to appear in Hyrule Historia is a rogue Sheikah, and she's neither the first nor the last. In fact, the Shadow Temple was converted into a prison for traitorous Sheikah.
• Attack Animal:
  • The Gorons can use trained Salamanders as adhoc scout and fighters.
  • The Kokiri can train hunting foxes to gather meat from wildlife and scout out maps.
  • Ordonians can pit their hawks against enemies.
  • Twili have various alien creatures, like Kargoroks and Shadow Bloats, to use in battle.
  • Gomess attacks with a swarm of keese.
  • The Sheikah have access to both rats and bats that they use as attackers.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Amid many hero and titan units far larger than a human, Majora and Bellum stand out in particular. Bellum is the size of the Hawaiian islands.
• Awesome, but Impractical: The Titans are for novelty purposes only. Extremely strong and satisfying to watch, they are an instant WIN button... but the cost is so prodigious (6000 of each resource except food) that they are essentially impossible to create in the first place if your opponent is competent, and you could have built hundreds of normal soldiers in the titan's place.
• Back from the Dead: Senturon the Black Knight.
• Backstab: The Sheikah often do this if you manage to sneak them up behind enemy troops.
• Back-to-Back Badasses:
  • Zelda and Impa take this pose after killing some Moblins.
  • Link and Ganondorf do this as well when fighting other Moblins in the trailer.
• Badass Longcoat: Labrynnian Pathfinders.
• The Bad Guy Wins: The first The Legend of Zelda game where Princess Zelda herself can be brutally assaulted and killed by Ganon.
• Balcony Speech: Ganon gives one from the palace to the Moblins in Demise.
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. Every character becomes blood-soaked after fighting in combat for several moments.
• BFG: The Essence of Tarm's main form of attack. The giant creature literally unleashes a pink laser of doom from its torso that torches entire columns of soldiers with a One-Hit Kill.
• Big-Bad Ensemble: The main Hyrule mod has Majora, Sulkaris, Demise, Hylia, Vaati, Demoko, Dethl, Veran, Jelyf, Twinrova, and at least a few other lesser independent villains (and Ganon, but he’s not really a villain in this game). Great Sea has Bellum and Malledus. Shadows of Hyrule has Zant, Morsheen, and the Eclipse. And Gods of Hyrule has the five main Druthulidi except Iemanis, who isn't really a villain.
• Big Damn Heroes: How Impa saves Zelda I when she's captured by Ganon.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Almost every Fairy that shows up in the game.
• Blade on a Stick: Spears are one of the most common weapons in the game due to their effectiveness against cavalry.
• Blessed with Suck: Being a Sage is almost like being a willing slave — you pretty much just do the dirty work of the Goddesses and not much else, and centuries of that takes its toll. Very apparent with Saria, who was chosen against her will, so it kind of sucks for her.
• Bloodier and Gorier: Lots of bodies and blood; let's not even talk about some cutscenes...
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Instead of killing Zelda personally, Ganon orders his minions to kill Zelda once she's done mourning her Almost Dead Guy father and leaves. Needless to say, Impa shows up and saves her. Becomesjustified when you remember that Ganon had the chance to talk to his dying mother as well; he was returning the favour.
• Bow and Sword, in Accord: Any archer unit with the Melee Weaponry attribute is proficient in both short and long ranges.
• Brats with Slingshots: Kokiri slingshots. Curiously, they share the same range of Labrynnian guns.
• Bring It: Most characters and troops do this at the start of each battle.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: Ganon. Upon realizing he was betrayed and left with no chance to accomplish his wish, he breaks down crying. Then we see the content of his book: childlike drawings of coexistence between Hylians and Moblins.
• Bug War: By necessity, any conflict with the Gohma is one. Hundreds of them will die in every battle, and hundreds more will take their place.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: In the old Total War version, your generals and heroes can get or start off with rather weird traits. To name a few, Ilia is an angrydrunkHypochondriac and Ruto is 'sexually liberated'.
• Butt-Monkey: Demise is apparently looked down upon by the other Druthulidi for his honorable tendencies, much to his displeasure.
• Byronic Hero: Ganon, who grew up under the terror of Hylian attacksculminating in his mother getting slaughtered by Hylian Knights. Under Demise's influence, he united the Moblin clans and struck at the heart of the Kingdom of Hyrule, slaughtering countless people and committing villainous acts such as subjugating the Gerudo by cursing them to get the Triforce, the source of Hyrule's prosperity. Then we find out he never wished to avenge his people, but to achieve coexistence through the Triforce.
• Carry a Big Stick: A few races make use of maces, but the most terrifying example are the Darknut's Doomknockers. Armed with colossal maces with heads as big as a man's torso, they're the Legion's answer to anything that might be wearing armor that could compete with their own.
• Casting a Shadow: Sheikah Shadow Cannons and Blood Wizards.
• The Cavalry: Rauru breaks the siege at Snowpeak Gandalf Style.
• Chainmail Bikini: Mostly averted. Virtually every female character, even the usually naked Princess Ruto, is well-clothed or well-armored.
• Chairman of the Brawl: Zelda I knocks out one of her Miniblin captors with a chair.
• Child Soldiers: Subverted with the Kokiri; they look like children, but they're actually as old, if not older, than most adults of other species.
• City Guards: Contrary to their complete and utter ineffectiveness in canon Zelda games, Hylian Town Guards are now very effective military units.
• City of Gold: The Zora capital Domain Prime is extensively decorated with walls and canals made of brass.
• Close-Range Combatant: Used to be one of the main gimmicks of the Darknut Legion, who had to rely on Zuna Crossbowmen or other mercenaries for ranged support. After a considerable update, the Darknuts can now field peltasts who, thanks to their immense strength, can hurl their javelins alarmingly far.
  • The Gorons also fit this mold.
• Collared by Fashion: Many of the female characters.
• Composite Character: Dethl takes control of the Yiga member Bongo to become the demon Bongo-Bongo.
• Conservation of Ninjutsu: The reason why the Sheikah and Darknuts are dozens strong while Kokiri and Gohma number in the hundreds.
• Cursed with Awesome: The Kingdom of Ikana. While its citiziens have been cursed to relive their three-day civil war for all eternity, now that they have been unleashed upon Hyrule by Majora, they've kept the experience of these millennia of fighting, and whenever they'll be killed, they will just respawn from a Termina fissure. It is said even the Stalfos envy them.
• Cutscene Drop: Inevitable in most missions, the only aversion is probably on the ninth mission, where to win you just have to reach a certain location.
• Crapsack World: Considering virtually every race in Hyrule is going to war...
• Crippling Overspecialization: While at first it may seem like this trope, they can be circumvented one way or another. Not to say it is EASY to do so.
  • Gorons are a melee faction who only have one missile unit (bomb throwers) which can be easily beaten by any other kind of missile unit. On the other hand, Goron infantry have exceptional charging ability and speed because they can roll around.
  • Similarly, the Darknuts are a heavy infantry faction with little in the way of ranged ability and only heavy cavalry, with only a few units able to even run. Yet this same armor leaves Darknuts practically immune to anything smaller than siege weaponry — and even then, they can be seen getting back up after the first few shots. In addition, their unit sizes tend to be extremely small, meaning they can be easily overwhelmed and flanked... but they are horrifying enemies to fight in chokepoints, and with larger formations of mercenaries protecting their flanks, they can chew up most armies' main infantry lines.
  • The Fairies have the opposite problem — they are absolutely horrible at melee combat. However, as almost all of their units can shoot lasers, their enemies will really have to put significant effort into exploiting that weakness. Not to mention Tarm itself — see BFG.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass:
  • All the Deku Scrubs.
  • Princess Ruto.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Fighting with most boss units will end badly, unless you have masses of archers to deal with them.
• Cyborg: Arguably the statue bodies that the Oocca wear to manipulate objects.
• Darker and Edgier: Mass warfare, actual blood, and the potential slaughter of iconic characters from the official games. Word of God says a darker Zelda game that he could actually take seriously again was one of his motivations for making the mod.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Many races normally considered evil in the official Zelda generally have nobler motives for their actions. It's actually implied that the Hylians are Jerkasses enforcing their will on everyone else. In fact, the only traditional evil factions with no other motive than slaughter are the Gohma and the Phantom Army. Even the would-be tyrant manipulator Veran just wants Onox back, alongside the domination thing.
• Dark Mistress: Veran, who apparently had a relationship with Onox before his untimely death and resurrection as a skeletal dragon.
• Dark Reprise: The Hyrule Historia mission 'Demise of a Goddess' begins with Hylia leading the Moblin genocide to the happy and sweeping sound of the orchestral portion of 'Ballad of the Goddess'. After Demise admits defeat and makes Hylia realize just how far she had fallen, she seeks sanctuary from the Wizrobes. The final shot of the cutscene is Hylia playing the harp portion of Ballad on her own harp, while weeping.
• Daylight Horror: Sulkaris' attack on Castle Town in Chapter 40. The light only serves to emphasize the destruction she leaves in her wake as the 12-or-so foot demigoddess rampages through the populated area, swatting soldiers, Sages and even the terrain around like flies.
• Death from Above: The Great Fairies' main method of attack, as well as most archer based units in the game. Occasionally, Sheikah Assassins will also dive bomb unto enemies.
• Death Mountain: Oddly, it seems to be inactive during the events of this game.
• Death-or-Glory Attack: The Darknuts' combination of tremendous attacking power, heavy armor, and slow speed makes every charge into one of these. If they hit and win, they devastate the enemy. If they hit and lose and then rout, it’s highly likely that none of them will survive, because they'll be run down in moments by much faster enemy infantry.
• Decomposite Character: Ganondorf and Ganon are two separate people in this game.
• Defiant to the End: King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, his army slaughtered, his capital fallen, and left alone to face Ganon in his own throne room, decides to go down giving him a 'The Reason You Suck' Speech.
• Degraded Boss: Many creatures that were bosses in canon Zelda are now generic units.
• Dem Bones: Stalfos and Ikana, but the former is more literal, the latter is a cursed kingdom.
• Demonic Possession: Dethl survives its defeat by possessing Bongo, and Vaati is revealed to be using a host as well.
• Dishing Out Dirt: Hylia attacks with boulders in cutscenes.
• Doomed by Canon:
  • Bongo dying and turning into Bongo-Bongo.
  • Dakkon, the Fire Sage, and Palagard, the Forest Sage. They're doomed to die and get replaced by Darunia and Saria, respectively.
• Dramatic Irony: Zelda and Daphnes's answers to Ganon sum up pretty much as this.
  Zelda:: My people never turned to a false god like yours.
  Ganon: If only your people knew.
• Dual Wielding: Princess Zelda, to great effect, dual wields swords.
• Egopolis: Several cities:
  • The Deku Tree's Grove, obviously.
  • Airu, named after the first Zora that took a Hylian wife.
  • Palagard's Sanctuary, after the Sage Palagard.
  • Gor Dalagra, after the last Goron king overthrown by Dakkon.
  • Baral's Stand, after a Darknut warrior who held an entire army by himself in the fortress.
• Eldritch Abomination: The Essence of Tarm and the Druthulidi.
• Elves vs. Dwarves: The Zora (Elves) and Gorons (Dwarves) are rival factions here.
• Enemy Mine: Demise offers Zelda his aid in stopping Bongo and the Dark Interlopers from reaching the Triforce in exchange for a non-aggression pact. When Carock and his Wizzrobes attack King Kazakk's forces in order to kidnap Zelda, the Hylian army is forced to join forces with the very Keatons they defeated and arrested less than an hour ago.
• Epic Flail: General Onox tossing aside dozens of soldiers in his path... with his bare hands.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Demise refrains from using a host, unlike other members of his race, believing it to be cowardly.
• Everything's Better with Princesses: Princess Zelda, Princess Ruto, Princess Midna, and the Deku Princess.
• Everything Fades: Averted. Corpses from killed soldiers permanently stay where they fall, eventually leading to giant masses of bodies piling up by the end of battles.
• Evil Empire: Averted. Every organized military in the game seems to be jerks with noble intentions. The exceptions are the Gohma and Stalfos.
• Eviler Than Thou: Demise prides itself for its honour, while the other Druthulidi make fun of him for it.
  Demise: I do not possess. I have honour, unlike you two cowards.
  Dethl: And that is why you have always been the joke among us.
• Evil Stole My Faith: King Igos du Ikana, after worshipping the Goddesses for his entire life, can't resist betraying them for Majora upon seeing his people slaughtered in a civil war.
• Evil Tower of Ominousness: The Black Tower in Labrynna.
• Evil vs. Evil:
  • Hylia (a tyrant that made her people into her personal cult) versus Demise (an ancient demon that enslaved the Blins to serve him as an army).
  • Twinrova versus Veran versus Bongo (all power mongers hungering for the Triforce).
  • Zant (an immature, entitled, psychopathic prince) versus Veran (a master manipulator that wants power more than anything else). They got better.
• Expy: Majora is now rather similar to Gollum. He even uses voice clips of Andy Serkis for him.
  • Zelda and her successors are all bloodthirsty but competent action girls, what was the last timewe've seen a Zelda like that?
• The Fair Folk: The once-harmless Fairies have been re-interpreted as this.
• Fairy Battle: Averted. Fairies in this game can ignite entire legions of soldiers on fire.
• Fallen Angel: Sulkaris, the Fallen Sage, once a guardian of the Triforce created by the Goddesses.
• Famous-Named Foreigner: Placeholder or not, several generic names are the same as famous ones with different first syllables:
  • Hylians: King Gustaf -> Captain Osustaf, Malostaf... King Nohansen -> Valhansen, Yorhansen...
  • Gerudo: Ganondorf -> Mathosidorf, Harunudorf... (Justified Trope in this case as -dorf might be an actual suffix.)
  • Labrynna: Ralph -> Malbalph, Sokalonalph...
  • Twili: Midna -> Zilidna, Validna... Zant -> Valant, Salant...
  • And the list goes on...
• Fantastic Racism: The Hylians and Gerudo seem to despise each other openly. The Gorons and Zora seem to hate each other, though not openly. Every other faction seems to look down on the Moblins as uncivilized beasts. The feud between Hylians and Moblins started millennia ago.
• Fatal Family Photo: The Black Knight mentions his wife some seconds before being brutally killed.
• Final Solution: Hylia's plan against the Moblin threat: gather a huge army, leave all your cities undefended to lure the enemies out, and turn their kingdom into a barren wasteland while they're gone.
• Finishing Move: Occasionally performed by many units in the game if they manage to stagger their targets. Notable mentions go to Goron Fire Warriors, who smash the heads of their victims with a giant hammer.
• Foe-Tossing Charge: Every boss.
• Foreshadowing: 'And we will not be remembered as just fairy tales anymore...'
• Forever War: From its formation in 5000 BG, the Kingdom of Hyrule has known peace for barely two centuries.
• Frontline General: Most heroes in the game are generals and personally lead their armies into battle.
• Gendercide: Ganon inflicts this to the Gerudo by poisoning an oasis as part of a Poison-and-Cure Gambit.
• Genius Bruiser: Ganon, who is both One-Man ArmyLightning Bruiser and a cunning planner.
• Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The Essence of Tarm.
• Glass Cannon: Almost every Sheikah and Fairy unit.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Some races of Blins. Most notably Ganon. Complete with Glowing Tears of Doom.
• Goddamned Bats: The Deku Scrubs are an In-Universe example. Deku Palace is recorded to have been constantly but unsuccesfully assaulted by Kokiri, Lizalfos, and Monkeys. Why? Because the Scrubs kept endlessly harassing all of them.
• God of Evil: Majora, who actually actively claims to be the lesser of two evils compared to the Goddesses.
• Gonk: Virtually every Moblin unit.
• Gray and Grey Morality: Every faction in the game seems to be capable of being assholes and heroes, contrary to their portrayals in the official Zelda games.
• Guide Dang It!: Some of the more esoteric factions have mechanics that are not readily apparent, along with the conditions for spawning certain units and hero characters. For example, the game doesn't outright tell you how the Wizzrobe's conversion process works. ^note Similarly, the exact conditions to allow you to recruit mercenaries are not stated outright, and some are complex. For example, recruiting Yook Smashers requires Snowpeak being occupied by a faction, and that you be at war with said faction. Other mercenaries, like Rogue Hylian Soldiers or Forest Thieves, cannot be recruited by certain factions (Hyrule for the former, Kokiri for the latter).
• Ham-to-Ham Combat: The Moblin King Ganon Vs The Volvagian Sage of Fire Dakkon. Ganon wins.
• Happily Married: It's implied that each incarnation of Princess Zelda has a fair relationship in order to give birth to the next Princess Zelda.
• Happiness in Slavery: Tokay are perfectly fine with being given a bullseye shield and being thrown in the battlefield as long as they are given nice clothing by their masters.
• Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Many heroes don't wear helmets. Notable exceptions include King Gustaf and Darunia.
• Herd-Hitting Attack: All artillery and several boss units.
• Heroic BSoD: Virtually every heroic character in the game the first time they see a massive wall of Gohma charging at them from across the screen.
  • Hylia when Demise gives her a hard lecture about how she 'twisted the creations of the Goddesses' into her puppets.
• Hidden Elf Village: The Deku Tree's Grove, Tarm Ruins and Palagard's Sanctuary.
• Hijacked by Ganon: Inverted completely in Hyrule Historia. Ganon ends up being a pawn of Dethl without even realizing it, who tricks him into a futile last stand against Princess Zelda that results in the slaughter of all his forces and his own death.
• Hollywood Tactics: Ancient Hylian Archers can fire only fiery arrows.
• Horse of a Different Color: While there are a few horse riders, unconventional mounts are far more common:
  • Ancient Hylians used Loftwings to ferry mages around.
  • Ordonians, the best riders of the game, use horses as light cavalry and goats as heavy cavalry.
  • Lanayru Zora ride prawns, Arurodas and Battlecrabs.
  • Zora ride Hydrophants, Moblins ride boars, Kokiri ride deer, wolfos and Deku Trees, Lizalfos ride Helmasaurs, River Zora ride Bigoctos, Subrosians ride Moldorms, Deku Scrubs ride Orhats, Hiploops and Gekkos, Labrynnians ride Blue Bears, Ocean Blins ride Kargaroks and Anouki ride Pengator chariots and Gyorg Rays.
  • Averted with modern Hylians, Gerudo and Ikanians, who only mount horses, and other factions which have no mounts.
• Humanoid Abomination: Phantoms of Tarm and all Druthulidi in their humanoid forms.
• Humans Are Bastards: Every humanoid race in the game, with the possible exception of the Kokiri. Very apparent with Hyrule and Labrynna, who want to impose their will and rape the land, respectively.
• Homage: The showdown between King Gustaf and Sulkaris in the first mission resembles the one between Isildur and Sauron.
  • The tenth mission resembles a little Helm's Deep.
• Horseback Heroism: Helmasaur Riders. They can barely keep themselves from falling off for crying out loud.
• I Have Your Wife: The Black Knight mentions this as a reason he followed Vaati.
• Implacable Man: General Onox. Nothing short of a massive volley of arrows seems to be able to stop him from plowing through fields of enemy soldiers.
• Interspecies Romance: Lanayru Zora are the offspring of Hylian/Zora romances, hence why they look so different from Domain Zora.
• I Will Wait for You: Averted. Midna does not seem to like the ending that was given to her in Twilight Princess. And by the look of things in the trailer, she's going to do something about it.
• Killer Gorilla: Yook Smashers and Deku Monkeys. For hire, nevertheless.
• Kung-Fu Wizard: Wizzrobe Illusionists, who during a fight will randomly teleport past the enemies and bash them from behind with a magic staff.
• Lady of War: Every female character that shows up in the game.
• Large and in Charge: Ganon and the Great Deku Tree to name a few.
• Last Request: Ganon's mother asks him to be better than the Hylians who killed her. King Nohansen asks Zelda to be avenged.
• Last Stand: Ganon's mother repels six charging Hylian Knights before being taken down.
• Laughing Mad: Majora, whose laugh was supposedly provided by Andy Serkis.
• Leitmotif: Each playable faction in the game plays their theme when you start a custom battle.
• Lighter and Softer: Over the development of Hyrule: Total War and later Hyrule Conquest, various factions have been presented in a less grimdark perspective than their initial presentation in Undyingnephalim's fanwork.
• Light Is Not Good: The reason the Church of Majora attracts so many people despite being cheerfully open about being the local equivalent of Cthulhu cultists - the Goddess factions have not made a good name for themselves.
• Limited Wardrobe: Each race tends to have very similar outfits amongst themselves with minor variations, whether they are military uniforms or civilian clothing.
• Loads and Loads of Characters: Considering the games stars characters from the entire Zelda continuity...
• Loads and Loads of Loading: Every time you start a custom battle...
• Loophole Abuse: When Impa is forced into a gladiatorial match, she trolls her captors this way.
• Losing the Team Spirit: Almost any unit in the game if they become surrounded or outnumbered will promptly pull a 180 and make a run for it. The exception are the Stalfos, who are immune to fear.
• Leeroy Jenkins: General Onox, who tends to mindlessly charge into massive hordes of enemies regardless of being ordered to or not.
• Ludicrous Gibs: Often happens in fighting cutscenes. Notably, at the end mission twelve first we have Demise ripping Veran's arms off, then Bongo being guillotined.
• Made of Iron: Pretty much any unit with the Armoured secondary type (symbol of a kite shield).
• Mad God: Who else but Majora?
• The Man Behind the Man: It is implied that the unexpected alliance between Vaati, Demise, and Dethl was orchestrated by Majora.
• Medieval Stasis: Little has changed in the millennia of fighting between Moblins and Hylians. The only exception to this is the Steampunk Labrynna Regime, which enslaves other races and rapes the land to keep developing.
• Mêlée à Trois:
  • The finale of the Rise of Ganon. Bongo's traitor Sheikah, Koume and Kotake's Gerudo and Veran's Fairies, all fighting each other until Rutela's Zora arrive, making it a Mêlée à Quatre.
  • Ordonian Omen: Ganondorf's summoned Stalfos turn against him and attack both his Gerudo and Zelda III's Hylians.
  • Day of the Arachnids, where the allied Hylians and Lanayru Zora goad the local wild Arurodas against the Gohma. And the later part of the Return of Sulkaris arc is Gohma vs. the mortals of Hyrule vs. the Oocca.
  • The biggest example is Escape from Death Mountain. Gorons, Gohma and Oocca all fight each other as well as the minions of Solahrasin, Evaleen and Kovaloo, creating a Mêlée à Six.
• Milking the Giant Cow: Ganon engages in one of these upon realizing Bongo's betrayal.
• Mind-Control Device: Sulkaris' willpower alone can directly control the movement of thousands of Gohma.
• Monogender Monsters: Played straight with the Druthulidi, averted elsewhere. Almost every creature in the game is actually given a gender, even the Moblins.
• Morality Kitchen Sink: Faction-wise, 'heroic' factions are made of peaceful people like Gorons and Kokiri who have to defend from 'villainous' ones which can be made of either Well Intentioned Extremists, the (willing or not) servants of a God of Evil or both.
• Mordor: The Kingdom of Ikana, after being cursed.
• The Musketeer: Labrynna Gunners.
• My Country, Right or Wrong: Virtually every Hylian character in the game.
• Necromantic: Veran, who wants to resurrect Onox from the dead. Incidentally he apparently was resurrected without her knowing during the game's events. It is likely that this will not deter her efforts.
• Noble Demon: Demise, who defeats Hylia by simply pointing outthe truth and doesn't employ Demonic Possession to control people.
  Dethl:: Where is your host?
  Demise:: I do not possess. I have honor unlike you two cowards.
• No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus: Magic is surprisingly rare in the game, and in most cases is explained as biological functions or technology.
  • Zora Mages' electric jolts are naturally produced in their bodies like electric eels.
  • It's implied Fairy magic is misunderstood alien technology provided to them by a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere.
  • Labrynna's guns and hydraulic technology is mistaken for magic by the medieval races of Hyrule.
  • The divine Oocca, considered supernatural beings by many in Hyrule, are little more than high tech chickens Touched By Goddesses.
• Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Since Link left this timeline, things started spiraling out of control...
• Off with His Head!: Happens in some cutscenes.
• Oh, Crap!: Vaati after Majora appears before him and reveals how he had set Vaati up.
• Ominous Latin Chanting: More then half the music in the game. Two of the three Main Menu themes take the cake.
• Ominous Pipe Organ: More then half the music in the game. Notable mention goes to the track called The Goddess Mocker, which is the Song of Time and Majora's Theme performed in nothing but pipe organ.
• One-Federation Limit: The playable factions whose names specify their government: The Zora Dominion, the Deku Tribes, the Darknut Legion, the Labrynna Regime, the Sheikah Cadre, the Order of the Wizzrobe, the Church of Majora, the Rito Clans and the Empire of Bellum. Averted with the Cobble Kingdom, the Kingdoms of Ikana and Hyrule and the Provinces of Lanayru and Ordona.
• One-Hit Kill: Labrynna Gunners can one shot most enemies from a distance. The Essence of Tarm also has no problem instantly frying entire legions of soldiers with a pink laser beam.
• One-Gender Race: The female-only Gerudo and male-only Gorons.
• One-Man Army: Most Druthulidi and General Onox. The Stallord and Ganon to a lesser extent.
• One-Man Industrial Revolution: Queen Ambi is described to have 'seemingly from nowhere, helped develop Hydraulics as a new energy source for her kingdom, as well as provided insight into new forms of weaponry'. It's implied that Veranis the one actually behind it.
• Only One Name: Pretty much all characters; the only exceptions being several leaders of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
• Only Six Faces: Pre-HD Ordonian soldiers used either Rusl or Ilia's face depending on their gender.
• Onrushing Army: Ordona Province's tactics are largely based on this.
• The Order: The Order of the Wizzrobe.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Ralph looks neat in his cap, cape, sword and shield. Take a moment to work out who he resembles (just in blue) though, and suddenly his eccentricities and social anxiety become evidence of someone who's spent his entire life in another man's shadow.
• Pants-Free: Great Fairies, who glide into battle wearing nothing nothing but underwear.
• Patchwork Fic: Takes characters from all Zelda games and timelines and puts them together.
• Pimped-Out Dress: Any of Princess Zelda's outfits. Long dresses, ornamental armor, and detailed waist crushing corsets are totally helpful in a pitched war zone.
• Plant People: The Koroks, Deku Scrubs, Deku Trees and Maku Tree.
• Poison-and-Cure Gambit: Ganon inflicted Gendercide on the Gerudo to have their help in attacking Hyrule.
• Polluted Wasteland: Lynna City has already the first marks from the intensive mining. The Old Moblin Kingdom used to be a fertile land before Hylia utterly scorched it.
• Portal Door: Bellum's portals, the most prominent one being the Mirror of Twilight.
• Powered Armor: Labrynnian Mechs.
• Powerful Pick: Goron Miners and Subrosian excavators.
• The Power of Love:
  • Also the motivating factor of Hylian and Zora couples in Lanayru Province.
  • Veran's determined efforts to bring back Onox.
• Praetorian Guard: Princess Zelda's Iron-clad Elites and Ganondorf's Vagrudanon.
• Precocious Crush: Saria seems to have the hots for Link.
• Prequel in the Lost Age: Gods of Hyrule: Total War, which takes place in the Druthulidi wars before the creation of the Triforce.
• Princesses Rule: Princess Zelda, Princess Ruto, Princess Midna and the Deku Princess.
• Prongs of Poseidon: Ganon fights with a BFT, which is later inherited by Ganondorf. Miniblins and Dodoblins attack with mini tridents.
• Proud Warrior Race Guy: Every single Darknut except Onan, who wants to reform the Darknut race.
• Psycho for Hire: Some mercenaries, like Yooks Smashers and Deku Monkeys, are more than glad to get paid for hitting people with sticks.
• Psychopathic Manchild: Lord Akazoo Vapith, who has become a psychopathic-undead-skeletal-magician-Smug Snake that paints his own flesh ridden skull with clown makeup. Yikes.
• Race Lift: Tetra's skin tone is a step in between her tanned appearance as Tetra and white as Zelda in Wind Waker.
• Rage Against the Heavens: The Church of Majora's primary motivation is to throw off what they see as the oppressive grip of the Goddesses. By any means needed.
• Rainbow Pimp Gear: Apparently frilly pink panties help Great Fairies unleash long ranged flamethrowers.
• Rainbow Speak: Following the tradition of Zelda games, important words are highlighted with different colours.
• Rain of Arrows: Like all Total War games. They're especially deadly against boss units.
• Raised by Dudes: The Gorons.
• Rape, Pillage, and Burn: The fate of Hyrule Castle when conquered by Ganon.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Surprisingly, Ganondorf, who's simply trying to assure his people's survival in the face of oppression of the Hylians.
• Religion of Evil: The Church of Majora.
• Right Under Their Noses: Sheikah battle tactics revolve entirely around this.
• Rising Empire: The Labrynna Regime, who suddenly enters an industrial revolution and starts massive invasions on neightbouring races.
• Sapient Steed: According to their description, some Wolfos are able to speak.
• Schizo Tech: In a primarily medieval world, there are the Labrynnians, who have hydraulics, hand cannons and steam tanks, the Fairies, whose 'magic' is implied to be simply very advanced technology, Aunomouzan's army of machine brain squid, and the Oocca who look outright sci-fi.
• Science Is Bad: Compare the Labrynna Regime, the most advanced faction in the game, to the rural farming nation of Ordona. While the Regime (as its name implies) needs to enslave other races and exploit their resources, Ordona is one of the most sympathetic factions of the game, just wanting to protect its people from Moblin and Lizalfos attacks.
• Screw This, I'm Out of Here!:
  • Senturon decides to rebel to Vaati's guide after the MacGuffin they were after ascended along its creators to the Heavens, with predictableresults.
  • Not only their leader, the whole Darknut army you were facing before started routing away from the battlefield at the first losses.
  • Vaati does this as well, quitting the Villain Team-Up with Dethl and Demise as soon as he can, suspecting something wants the three of them dead.
• Shock and Awe: Zora Mages. They've even built cannons, defensive spires, and mounted elephant-analogues that wreak tremendous havoc on infantry using their lightning.
• Shoot the Shaggy Dog: The Rise of Ganon arc. Ganon is killed by Zelda and never accomplishes his dream; let's not even talk about the devastating consequencies of his campaign...
• Shout-Out: Malon wears a Bowser brooch on her belt.
  • Labrynna Pioneers seem to be a shout out to German Pioneers from Company of Heroes
  • Ganon's quote 'You must die!' in the loading screen.
  • The Labrynna Steamtank bears a massive resemblance to the Empire Steam Tank from Warhammer.
• Shovel Strike: Labrynnian Pioneers, while supposed to deploy sharpened stakes and retreat, can join the fight with their spades, and they have a bonus against horses.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Half the characters in the game that are in positions of power. Possibly even Princess Zelda.
• Shut Up, Kirk!: Ganon, provoked by King Daphnes' speech, quickly grabs him by the foot and throws him across the room.
  Ganon:: Your actions speak louder than your words.
• Siege Engines: Nearly every faction has at least an artillery or creature unit that can break enemy fortifications.
• Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains:
  • Moblins: Demise is a type I, Ganon is a type III, Ogalon is a type IV.
  • Kingdom of Ikana: Igos, Keeta and the Garo Master are type II.
• Small, Annoying Creature: The Deku Scrubs, at first....
• Soundtrack Dissonance: Hylia's approach to the Moblin capital is accompanied by her cheery Leitmotif from Skyward Sword, nevermind that she came there to kill everyone.
• Speaking Simlish: Midna, Fi and Majora.
• Spider Tank: Or more rather, Tank Spiders known as Armogohma.
• Spoiler Opening: The intro cinematic of the game reveals Midna long before she physically appears in the storyline.
• Stealth-Based Mission: In the ninth mission, playing princess Zelda, you must evade the Moblin garrison and escape Hyrule Castle.
• Stealth Insult: It could be argued the entire game is this in regards to the Toon Zelda games.
  • Midna's commentary at the beginning of mission 69, about how Mega Corps are treated as gods and how the games have declined because of this unconditional praise.
• Story Overwrite: Sometimes the ending cutscenes play out as if the enemy general were still alive. On mission 3 King Igos stands in the colonnade of the palace in front of a sea of bodies, but it's rather unlikely for you to have fought there. On mission 4 during Hylia and Demise's showdown neither army is anywhere to be seen, but if they were still there...
• Stuff Blowing Up: Pretty much any match involving the Gorons.
• Suspiciously Small Army: The Sheikah, and to a lesser extent, Darknuts.
• Take That!: UndyingNephalim has taken numerous jabs at the direction that Nintendo has taken with the official games. The original intro encourages the player to 'welcome back the lost grandness that was once The Legend of Zelda.' The author seems to claim that his remarks are not intended to show any malicious intent towards Nintendo, rather they are more in line with You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!.
• Tank Goodness: Zuna Ziggurats; they serve as mobile platforms for crossbowmen. Also Apparent with Labbryna's aptly named Steamtanks.
• Technicolor Death: Any poor soldier hit by the Essence of Tarm's pink laser beam of doom.
• The Time of Myths: In primordial Hyrule, the Druthulidi fought with one another for control of the planet, their titanic conflict shaping and ravaging the world.
• Title Drop: In the final cutscene of The Realm of Twilight arc, Minda narrates that Hyrule would be plunged into 'Total War.'
• Took a Level in Badass: Without Link around, the usually conquered peoples have not only become less pleasant, but also far more capable of defending themselves against the likes of the Moblin and Gerudo. Particularly Princess Zelda, who finally dons armor, dual wields swords, and actually engages in battle after years of being kidnapped, firing arrows sporadically from a distance, or surrendering to Zant before lifting her sword in Twilight Princess.
  • The expansion, Great Sea, introduces the Anouki Natives who are an extraordinary far cry from their canon counterparts in Spirit Tracks.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Every single character due to the Darker and Edgier shift, with the possible exception of Ganon and Ganondorf. The heroic factions however do claim to be humbled in the final mission, getting rid of the latter, but maintain the former by killing Majora.
• Torches and Pitchforks: Ordonian farmers and Mobs of Moblins.
• Trailers Always Spoil: The Epic Trailer seemingly shows, among other things, Ganondorf killing Zelda and Link dying.
• Tron Lines: The Twili, the Fairies of Tarm, and the Kingdom of Ikana.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Ganon is first shown as a little boy witnessing his mother being killed and his mother being killed by Hylian Knights, then Demise approaches him.
• Vain Sorceress: Veran, who undergoes extraordinary pain to keep her body from collapsing into a pile of purple jello.
• Victory Pose: Most units in the game do this after they slaughter a particularly large batch of enemy soldiers.
• Video Game Cruelty Potential: The first Zelda game that lets the player commit mass genocide.
• Villain Protagonist: A good chunk of the Hyrule Historia campaign focuses on Princess Zelda I, Zant, Akazoo, Ambi, Nardu and Hylia.
• Villains Act, Heroes React: In Hyrule Historia, invading factions are usually the 'villainous' ones, while Hyrule and other 'heroic' factions are usually on the defense. Given how the Kingdom of Hyrule is the keeper of the Triforce, this is justified.
• Villain Team-Up: Demise, Dethl, and Vaati with their respective faction to conquer Hyrule Castle.
• Visionary Villain: Ganon, who dreamed of achieving peaceful coexistence between Hylians and Moblins.
• Vulnerable Civilians: In the second mission, you have to take Wind Tribe civilians to the ascension tower, on the third you have to attack your own citiziens as Ikana to lure the rebel forces out, on the fourth you have to exterminate the entire Moblin's capital population.
• Wall Crawl: The Gohma.
• Whatevermancy: The Wizzrobe roster: Pyro, Aqua, Electro, Geo and Aeromancers.
• We Are as Mayflies: The Hylians and other human-like races have roughly the same lifespan as real life humans. In comparation, the Gorons, Zora, Moblins and Lizalfos have an average natural lifespan of more than a century, the Darknuts and Huskus can live for half a millennium, the Fairies and Wizzrobes can live for thousands of years, and the Ikanians have become undead. About the only major Hyrulean race with a shorter lifespan is the Deku Scrubs.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Ganon. Arguably Princess Zelda.
• With This Herring: Inverted for Labrynnian Tokay Slaves, who are supposed to be mere Cannon Fodder for their human masters, but are equipped with the very same bladed poles and shields of the Palace Watch.
• World of Action Girls: Just about every female character is a major asskicker.
• World of Badass: No matter who you are: Kokiri, Hylian, Goron, Zora, Twili, doesn't matter. If you wanna survive in this world, then you need to be a badass.
• Would Hurt a Child: On the fourth Hyrule Historia mission, Hylia orders the slaughter of every man, woman and child in the Moblin capital. And you actually have to kill them.
• Written by the Winners: One of the topics the plot centers.
  • After the Hylian Goddess Hylia performs genocide on the Moblins and realizes how far she has fallen, she erases all records about her existence. Because of this, centuries later the Hylians claim the moral high ground on the Moblins because no one remembers the atrocities Hylia commited, but everyone remembers the ones commited by the Moblins.
  Zelda:: My people never turned to a false god like yours.
  • As it turns out, the story about Sulkaris seeking the Triforce and being banished was forged. The truth is that it was the other First Sages that sought the Triforce for themselves, but Sulkaris tried to prevent them. After making a truce and a pact with Majora, the First Sages defeated Sulkaris and banished her.
  • In matters still regarding the First Sages (except Sulkaris), they were the ones that summoned the Druthulidi to the world,to use them as weapons against each other but lost control over them, contrary to the history records that said that the demons invaded the world while the Goddesses were still building it.
• Year Inside, Hour Outside: The Realm of Twilight. After thousands of years stuck in the alien planet, the Twili return to Hyrule only to find that only a century has passed in Hyrule since their imprisonment.
• Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Demise mortifies Hylia by praising her.
• You Can't Thwart Stage One: You can, if Ganon(dorf) dies an ignominious death in battle against what used to be a Red Shirt Army.
• Your Worst Nightmare: What Dethl uses to create the ReDeads out of the Shadow Temple's prisoners.
