My Inner Life/YMMV

---

• Angst? What Angst?: Unintentional example: Link comes back from war. The only thing that changes about him is that he gets a shiny badge on his clothes, which everybody adores.
• Bile Fascination
• Canon Defilement: According to Jen, most, if not all, of the other games never happened. Also, Link wasn't sent back in time at the end of the game. And Hyrule Castle (as well as the town) are back as though Ganondorf never destroyed them. And so on.
• Cliché Storm: Dark Link's dialogue. Also, every single time Jenna talks about how much she loves Link.
• Mary Sue: Jenna, who's also a Relationship Sue, Purity Sue, God Mode Sue, Author Avatar, Black Hole Sue and a hint of Sympathetic Sue.
• Nausea Fuel and Squick: The bonding ceremony and sex scenes. Keep in mind that if Link decided to stay as he is, it means he still has the mind of a prepubescent boy as he is courting her.
• No Yay: Jenna/"King Zelda".
• Possession Stu: Link.
• Snark Bait: It certainly doesn't help that she thinks the whole thing is real.
• So Bad It's Good
• Tastes Like Diabetes
• Unfortunate Implications: Jen's fictional self (which she insists is herself in another dimension)'s first thoughts on Link are how he's handsome thus will give her beautiful children, for crying out loud!
  • There's also the horrible anti-feminism going on, with Jenna constantly going on and on about how having a husband and children make her life complete, how she drops her job to get married, how she constantly clings to Link, how she always makes a point of riding behind him, etc. It's possible that the author was trying to write as if it were medieval times, with old-fashioned female roles, but that doesn't work since (A) Jenna also tries to paint herself as independent and strong and (B) there's no evidence that women in Ocarina of Time are so limited.
  • One can't help but notice some unfortunate implications in how the king treats Jenna, a peasant merchant, better than Zelda, his flesh-and-blood daughter. He spares no expense for Jenna's wedding, breeds horses especially for her, supplies her and her family with foods, and calls her "Jenna, my sweet daughter." Zelda, on the other hand, gets little to no interaction with him, he does nothing for her, and when he finally has to refer to her in conversation, he calls her "the princess," as if he has nothing to do with her. It's actually pretty disturbing if you think about it too long! Then of course there's the fact that he'll probably pass the crown on to Jenna--because apparently, Zelda can only become Queen if she marries.
