Running Gags
- “Nearly Missed Kiss” — In every episode, Link and Zelda come close to kissing, but something always happens to prevent them. Link may be too dirty (even though Zelda is equally dirty), or he may snatch a bug and eat it due to a spell gone wrong, or Ganon may attack. Link even exclaims "This always happens!" He often tries to sneak a kiss, but is met with a similar unexpected failure.
- “Well Excuuuuse Me, Princess” became Link's repeated slogan. He says it multiple times per episode when accosted, annoyed, or shunned by Zelda. On some occasions his retort is cut off by events going on around him or by Zelda herself.
- Helpful Items when an Enemy is Defeated - Sometimes when Link or Zelda kills an enemy like in the video games there will be a rupee or a helpful item (i.e. a Wind Whistle, Force Field Ring or Bracelet of Power) which usually plays a key role in saving the day in that episode.

Famous quotes containing the word running:
“Andrews: Do you mind if I ask a question frankly? Do you love my daughter?
Peter: Any guy that’d fall in love with your daughter ought to have his head examined.
Andrews: Now that’s an evasion.
Peter: She grabbed herself a perfect running mate. King Westley! The pill of the century. What she needs is a guy that’d take a sock at her once a day, whether it’s coming to her or not.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
