I just thought this would be a cool way to list all of the strange things you see in Hyrule, specifically in their houses. For example:
It is common courtesy to put your life savings in a ceramic vase and leave it out in the open for your visitors to break and rob at will.
It is common courtesy to send people cows when they win contests. :P
It is common courtesy for beautiful women to welcome strange men into their homes to "recover their health"
and for the older women to replenish their magic 'energy'...
it is also customary to cut a hole in your wallet while walking through grass, so your rupees can be picked up by anybody passing by. Also, take it upon yourself to remove your heart and drop it in a piece of grass as well.
Feel free to give monsters rupees. It's hard work being a monster, and they get low salaries just like teachers do.
A little tip to the evildoers out there: If you ever need to defend a dungeon or protect the treasure at the end, make sure to leave just enough keys to get an intruder there, it just wouldn't be fair to make it impossible, right?
It is common courtesy to teach random boys in green ancient magical songs, feel free to tell him the secret of the triforce too.
it is customary to cross-dress your young boys when they come of age.
If all else fails, use fire.
train your chickens to attack in a mob when they feel threatened. Also, don't plan on eating meat anytime soon :'(
What about letting evil wizards/priests into your castle and slowly let them take over the government. And let's not forget making the hero go through thousands of obstacles and get strong enough to kill you when you could kill them when they're weak.
also, make sure that when they are in a dungeon, they get the only weapon that could hurt the main boss of that dungeon. do NOT allow the boss to stop the intruder. Also, make sure the items that he is trying to obtain are at the end of the dungeon, don't keep them with yu.
Oy, now your talkng about cliches in the zelda series...
It is common courtesy for peasants to give others millions of ruppees.
It is common courtesy to interrupt the hero and ever let him talk.
It is common courtesy that the final boss do not fight the hero until it got the power to beat him
Already done, wiizard.
Don't forget bugs are always worth more money than the more useful fish.
Also, here's a tip for those of you who find magic beans tasty--do NOT drink water afterwards.
Or Deku and Boko seeds, they'll kill you... literally.
And the princess, despite having alot of magical powers, can never defeat the bad guy, it's just so untraditional.
Actually, she gets a few transmutation spells, some healing spells, and abjuration spells. None of her magical powers include offensive spells. Okay, with the exception of Din's Fire and her lightning kicks and crap like that, but those alone never won any fights. Besides, it's common courtesy for both the princess and the bad guy to let the Hero prove himself by defeating the bad guy with as little outside help as possible.
QuoteAnd the princess, despite having alot of magical powers, can never defeat the bad guy, it's just so untraditional.
The ironic thing is that if TMC Zelda had been a few years older she would have most likely defeated Vaati. :-*
Unless the Minish Cap is more poweful than thought.
And you should never let the Hero through the main gate to the castle town at night because a bunch of small children's skeletons that can easily be killed by the guards are threatening. OOOOoooohhhhhhhhhhhh.
be sure to hire guards brave enough to surround and threaten a threat to the people of Castle Town--although they are too chicken to strike.
Be sure you don't try at all to take care of any problems in your kingdom and just let them get worse enough for a small kid or teenager to come to the rescue, and sometimes actually make things worse yet fixes them anyway.
Make sure to always fix maps for a price. Even if it means that you won't live because you didn't help the hero.
(That's a reference to tWW, by the way. Silly Tingle.)
And it's also customary to hide hearts underground, in skulls, and in rocks.
As well as rupees in pumpkins, chili, and any other food product. Who says money doesn't grow on trees?
Pants? Out. Tights? In.
For the hero to learn how to use magical powers without an object like Arrows or a sword to control them with is illegal (reference to how Link never learns to use any magical powers)
(well he learns those three in OoT)

Give Link a break. Duskblades don't get many spells to choose from. The highest level spells they can learn are 5th level, and that's not until they have 17 levels in duskblade.
Ummmm, what is he saying?
Remember, frogs are allowed to learn to speak, and they are citizens of the government. And also, Zoras are frogs, they aren't fish. King Zora looks nothing like a fish, but more frogish. The fish tail thing on their heads are like tadpole tails. Also, it has been ahown they reproduce like frogs.
do NOT confuse a freshly fallen volcanic rock with a goron and give it a huge hug. Sizzle.
Even if you aren't a Goron, you allowed to go into the volcano and dive into the lava, become swallowed into a big rock, and the next thing you know the rock will be moved into a giant iced lake the rock unfreezes and you will be stuck there, and whomever releases you will be rewarded with a bomb bag. Mysteriously, you will also breathe underwater.
locked doors? out.

Is this a TP spoiler? Because I'm sure I've never seen or heard of such a thing...
it is a little secret in TP yes...
The rock you use in TP to unfreexe the Zora Domain has a Goron inside. Just water bomb it, and you're rewarded with a new bomb bag.
*cough*spoiler*coughcough*
*cough*we all knew that*cough*
WELL I DIDN'T!!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Ahem...
It is common courtesy for postmen to try to emulate bunny rabbits.
It's common courtesy for all people not speaking and really just using boxs with words in them that suddenly appear under you to communicate.
It is common courtesy for plants to suddenly jump up and sell you stuff.
a note to all evil warlocks with dreams of world domination: fish hooks will be your doom. If you see a fishing pole during combat, don't let it leava your sight.
That was TP, right? I forgot. :'(
yes...final battle with Ganon...quite interesting really...
NO MORE SPOILERS!!!!!![/i][/u]
This is NOT a spoiler topic people. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
You didn't make it, so you can't make the rules, only Shikamaru and the mods/administrator can.
Still, I haven't gotten through all of TP yet, so I'd appreciate it if I didn't read spoilers here. So if you're going to make a reference to TP, I'd really appreciate it if you made it as vague as possible.
Getting back on subject...
It's common courtesy to not let the Hero eat. Or sleep. Or drink.
(Has anyone else noticed that when Link sleeps in-game, something bad happens?)
such as the horrible LA nightmare...
And the game in MC.
It is common courtesy to talk to everyone in the street. ;)
Except TP...
It's common courtesy for Hylians to be afraid of wolves, but not Gorons and Zoras.
Its common courtesy not to move out of people's way. ;)
It is common courtesy for Gorons to swallow large metal spikes that poke out when they travel at high speeds.
It's common courtesy for the hero to be the only one who thinks of defeating evil, NOT the soldiers... ::)
It's common courtesy to ignore any large yellow forcefields that envelope the castle you are supposed to be protecting. They are probably just testing a new security system.
It's common courtesy for you not to notice the wolf that is killing giant bugs in your own home.
It's common courtasy to NOT give the able men in the village weapons, or to NOT tell the town soldiers about Ganon, it's best if you tell an eight year old and give him a weapon.
It's common courtesy to send the said 8 year old on his journey to save the world with nothing but a butterknife and a barkchip shield. Oh, and a glowing dust mote with a broken record personality.
Let's not forget that it's common courtesy for a large country like Hyrule not to know about it's neighbors.
its common courtesy to,whenyour a.chasing impa and zelda or b.running fron ganondorf to ride carefully through the crowd and not kill or ingure anyone.
What do you mean? Ganondorf killed that soldier.

You've never played SSBM have you. She is one of the strongest people (in my opinion anyway).
And remember, when you see a dog beating the crap out of a Deku don't stop the fight. The Deku is actully enjoying it.
The same goes with cuccos and small children.
It's common courtesy to tell people not to waste food, even if the pumpkins are magical and regenerate. (and spawn rupees.)
Its common courtesy to bury and hide money in pots.
Its common courtesy to leave things in your skull when you die.

yes, she is very very powerful, one of my best. I use Shiek on exceptionally slow guys to take advantage of all the free hits I get, but Zelda is my finisher.
Its common courtesy to always have a piece of heart laying around.....
It's common courtesy to play Whack-a-Mole with a lava dragon.
It's common courtesy to jump into portraits, make clones of yourself, and use the clones as a decoy and attack the target from behind on an armored horse.
Its common coutesy to give people items for "winning" a race even though you were in front of them the whole time.

Oh, I have. But I never won any fights just using Din's Fire. Well, I never actually won any fight, but that's besides the point. My point is that it takes more than just one ability to win a fight. Trust me. Just me against a triceratops casting shocking grasp into my sword equals me dead. A war mage (casting orbs) plus a rogue (flanking with me and sneak attacking) plus a dawnblade (healing everyone and attacking every now and then himself) plus me (using a shocking grasp filled sword) against a triceratops equals an eventually dead triceratops.

I was under the impression the Deku didn't like that, but oh well. That's what this guide is for.
Din's fire isn't her only attack ::) it is very useful for keeping enemies from recovering though. Did you know you can move it up and down? also Nayru's Love will reflect projectile's back at the thrower, and it is a good close-range attack/defense. Farore's Wind is fast and gets you far away, and her aerial attacks are the most powerful in the game in my opinion.
and yes, the deku is not enjoying it, but apparently the people think so for they do not do anything about it.
It's common courtesy to let a kid use a chicken to fly across the Gerudo Valley into Gerudo territory and not try stopping it beforehand.

It's common courtesy to let a kid use a chicken to fly across the Gerudo Valley into Gerudo territory and not try stopping it beforehand.
I forget, how do you do that?
:opick up a chicken and jump?
But that chicken is way down on that ledge.
there is a way to get it up there.
I doesn't help much in the game anyway. I got curious and used a moonjump cheat (after trying for 45 minuets to use the chicken) to get there. Gerudo Fortress is abondoned (both inside and out) but there is a heartpiece in a crate on the balcony above the jail ( I think thats there as an adult too).
Your not really missing anything unless you want to go the long way to Desert colossus as a kid (you need moonjump to get over the gate).
I don't know how to cheat.
N64 Gameshark Pro version 3.3
Cheating is bad. I takes the fun out of the game most of the time. I only suggest using a GS if you have already beaten the game. They also may cause memory wipes of your files.
Anyway, it is common courtacy for fairies to repeat information hundreds of times so your partner doesn't foget it.
Let's not forget how the hero never speaks, rarely shows emotion, and when he doesn't move suddenly does crazy things.
It's common courtesy to wear a green, conic hat that makes you look like a lawn gnome whenever you try to save Hyrule.
Don't bother locking your doors at night, especially if you arne't in the house.
When you own a shop, stand by the door at night to yell at people who try the locked door.
Give away masks that you never even know you had to random people.
Also, even if you meet a kid who wears a mask or demonic origins, you should still let him in your club.
and if a large celestial object starts rushing towards you, don't bother leaving town, you'll be juuuuust fine.

>_> Most people do.
That's because people listen to me. I'm a whale biologist.
Its common courtesy to sneak past guards at Hyrule Castle.
It's common courtesy to run around Hyrule Castle Town as a wolf so they can "play" with you. :P *No seriously, it's fun*
It's common courtesy to trust your son's life to a dog with a person on his back. (Yeah, she watched him kill stuff, but my cat kills lizards, too, and she never gets called on to save someone!)
Does that actually have anything to do with Zelda? ::)
She means Wolf Link, Midna and Colin.
Oh, really? Never mind.
It's common courtesy to have pictures of people from a different video game in your castle.
Actually, I was referring to Rutela trusting Ralis' life with Link & Midna...
It's common courtesy to have a water-dumping system installed in your shop. You know. Just in case.
Its common courtesy to force people to play hide and seek with you on an island you can cover in about 40 steps.
And remember, if you are a talking boat, never let your owner go anywhere new or intresting till later in the game.
It's common courtesy to put a pot of fire in a bomb storage shed.
Its common courtesy to stand at the door all night to tell people you are closed.
It's common courtesy to summon the moon to destroy an alternate dimension in three days when you could just make the Sun come down instead and mealt the planet in a couple of hours.
It's common courtesy to destroy said moon, ruining the tides and seasons and days, and then saying you saved the world.
It's common courtesy to ignore the fact that there is a wolf in your house destroying a large number of bugs to become human again.
Its common courtesy to allow a wolf to jump in your window and destroy your pottery(possible in the Ordan village).
If there is a wolf attacking your village, hit it if it comes strait at you, but let it go around you without a fight afterword.

Actually, it would be even worse: the planet would most likely be
vaporized in minutes or even seconds. But I guess it's best not to give Majora any ideas. :P
Anyway, it's common courtesy to have a hero go through your house and gather cheese and a pumpkin.
He was looking for the bedroom key.
>.>
<.<
I know, but he still got the cheese and the pumpkin, didn't he? :P
It's common courtesy to eat a nut that allows you to speak/understand another language.
*sigh*....none of these have really been common courtesies, just things you do...what it means is that it's a strange custom that they have.
