A transformation is a different stage or form for something. Usually an upgrade.
Some bosses transition through two or more forms during the course of a fight. Each form has its own abilities and health separate from those of other forms.
A mechanical system designed to capture or cause harm. Either the player can set traps for their enemies or others set them for the player.
A twister, or tornado, is a localized windstorm characterized by a rotating column of air resembling a funnel-shaped cloud.
An unbeatable enemy is just that, an enemy you can't beat or destroy. It's best to just run away from them.
The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
Cutscenes that cannot be interrupted or bypassed through player interaction.
If the protagonist is standing on an unstable platform for a certain amount of time, it will eventually drop. Usually there is a pit below, or some other hazardous danger.
Weapons can often be upgraded with new attachments, augmentations, or magical enchantments. These upgrades result in the original item being more powerful than originally intended.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
The Virtual Console is a platform service that first appeared on Nintendo's Wii and later on the 3DS and Wii U. Games from past consoles are emulated to run on the new hardware with the added benefits of system-level save states and other features.
"Vore" is an internet term for a sexual fetish for the act of a creature swallowing someone else whole while they are still alive. The act is also seen in many video games, in a decidedly less sexual manner.
Wall Masters are gigantic disembodied hands that attack Link while he is in dungeons. If one manages to grab him, he will be returned to that dungeon's entrance.
This is a place of special vulnerability. Particularly used in boss fights or when simply fighting Giant Enemy Crabs that cannot be defeated by usual means.
Witches are women who can perform magic. There can be good witches and bad witches.
A viewable map that displays the entire game world. The map also usually shows the player's location in the world.
Player characters that are infants, children, or adolescents.
