• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has the cutscene of Ganon's Castle collapsing into the ground. It looks less like it's breaking down and more like a toy castle that's sinking into the ground, looking nothing like destruction. The castle looks like it's just folding over, and another friend liked it to a penis going flaccid.
  • From Ocarina of Time again you have Ganondorf's last bit of dialogue: "CURSE YOU ZELDA!!! CURSE YOU SAGES!!! CURSE YOU. . . LINK!!!"
    • That's if you stuck with the default name. "CURSE YOU ... DUDE!!!"
    • Or worse if you're a grammar whore: "CURSE YOU. . . Link!!!"
    • Even worse than that if you used All Lowercase Letters: "CURSE YOU. . . link!!!"
      • Or, as Sir Ron Lionheart translates it, "MOTHERFU-YOU LINK!"
    • And the current Speed Run on Speed Demos Archive: CURSE YOU. . . T!
    • CURSE YOU . . . FAGBALLS!!!
    • Alternatively: CURSE YOU . . . I SAY!!!
    • CURSE YOU . . . I FARTED!!!
    • CURSE YOU . . . CapriSun!!!
      • And then there's the fact that Nintendo Capri Sun actually lost his voice during that part due to trying to shout the lines in his Ganondorf voice. If you've watched his LP, you'll remember how funny that was every time you watch that scene, making it even more Narmy.
    • Oh, and if you're one of those people who named themselves "Zelda", to get a scene where Zelda says "Zelda... That name sounds... familiar", you get Ganon cursing out Zelda twice.
      • And then there's the face he makes as he's saying "CURSE YOU...."
      • I had a friend over at my house, and when we defeated Phantom Ganon, Ganondorf's last bit of the text gave us a good chuckle.

Ganondorf: What a worthless creation that ghost was! I will banish it to the gap between dimensions!!

• • • Sheik getting tossed around like a rag doll in the scene where Kakariko is on fire. It's otherwise a very serious part of the game, but that animation just looks ridiculous.
• In an effort to punctuate the totally unsurprising fact that he is, in fact, The Dragon, and not the Big Bad: Zant, the Twilight King of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess shifts from his excellent creepiness of all previous scenes to jumping around and clucking like a chicken during his boss fight.
  • Twilight Princess again, we get the scene were Ilia regains her memories. With over the top music and Epona doing the "Majestetic Horse" pose in the background. It was so hilarious that I could never again take Ilia seriously after it.
  • There was actually quite a bit of this in Twilight Princess. The worst that comes to mind is the scene where one of the spirits is warning Link that the fused shadows could corrupt him; it brings to mind cardboard props in a god-awful 3rd-grade school play. Not to mention the moment during said scene where a Link who appears to be suffering from cataracts lets loose The Scream. Several minor scenes suffer from poor animation or unrealistic movements (such as the bizarre way Zelda's Sword fell, or the utterly silly stumbling animation of the boss in the goron mines.)
    • The best part? At the end of that scene, a bunch of laughing Ilia's start raining from the sky while Link watches on, wearing an expression on his face that clearly shows he's high as a kite.
  • Those noises Link makes as he's turning into a wolf for the first time sounds more like he's having sex.
  • Even The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker, despite the humor relying heavily on slapstick anyway, managed to have a short narm-scene in the Final Boss battle, when Ganondorf attacks Tetra. Upon seeing it, Link snaps into a weird, somewhat angry-ish, facial expression for a split second... It's obviously meant to look Badass because now It's Personal, but ended up looking more like Ganondorf just trashed Link's Treehome or something, not like he smacked one of his best friends brutally to the ground.
• Zelda's Sparkling Stream of Tears near the end of Spirit Tracks comes off as this to some people. Ironically, she ruined a Tear Jerker scene with this Sparkling Stream of Tears. Fight Tears with Tears, I'd say...
• Even The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is not immune. One day has you protecting the Lon Lon ranch from thieves trying to steal away the cows. If you get there a day late, you find the ranch owner paralyzed with grief, as the thieves took both her cows and her little sister. Moving on its own, but becomes pure Narm when you learn the thieves are aliens.
• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Ghirahim's little "That Makes Me Feel Angry" tirade during your first meeting with him. FURIOUS! OUTRAGED! SICK WITH ANGER!
  • There's also the fact that he's so feminine looking that he resembles Lady Gaga.
    • Ghirahim doing his tongue thing.
  • This news has filled Ghirahim's heart with rainbows.
  • Ghirahim is too fabulous to take seriously.
    • Until he really gets serious, anyway.
  • Also in Skyward Sword, Tentalus' introduction after a rather scary moment of the Sandship being torn to pieces with you inside, you'd be expecting some sort of Badass looking kraken, you get... this.
