Zelda Easter Eggs

[Onilink89]

Ok i wanted to make a topic for zelda fans who noticed some easter eggs in zelda games that caught our attention. of course if you just pay good attention you will find something interesting.

Post here the easter eggs that caught tour attention of the zelda games you played.
Cool thing about this is that some easter eggs actually refrer to other things.

Note: now we all know these easter eggs can be find in FAQ's, this is a topic to discuss about the easter eggs and not just seach and list it. so if you post an easter easter egg that caught your attention, please post you toughts or opinion about it.

these are the things that caught my attention:

OOT:
- The mario paintings in hyrule castle
( i was quite suprised, at that moment i was thinking like "what the heck is mario doing here")
- Bowser button on malon
( more mario stuff, how many mario stuff is in this game? )

MM:
- The fungus thing thats shaped as a n64 controller in the water of inside clock tower.
( ok when i first saw this i was little, my toughts were "am i seeing things or does it really look like n64 controller?)
- Mario and elvis mask.
( ok almost everybody knows this, but still i got my attention)
- Dolphin sketch in astral observatory
( at the start i didn 't knew this was an easter egg, like a couple of years later i found out that the codename for the GC was "the dolphin", when i knew that i was like "now thats an easter egg that had a meaning" )

WW:
- Cobra on tingle 's back.
( dunno why its a cobra, first tought was "cobra? why? see tingle is evil lol" )
- Painting of link and triforce in tetra 's room
( i didn 't knew that tetra was zelda when i first played it, when i saw this my toughts were "is tertra reseaching something about this" )
- Link 's attention.
( don 't know if this is an easter egg but link actually looks at something that caught is attention, on the N64 titles only the fairy would turn in to green. so it was pretty cool )

TP:
- Link can open doors YAY!.
( also don 't know if this is actually an easter egg but, FINNALY link used his hands for the first time to open doors.)
- Fortune teller
( wait wasn 't this also in Alttp )
- Three girls in front of circus game in hyrule castle town
( they really look like Din, Nayru & Farore from TMC )

PH: (havn 't found out much about it.)
- Those gossip statues
( really everytime if i look at them they look like wario )

Of course there are lot more easter eggs that i noticed. But these are the ones that really caught my attention.

[Dark link]

Well another mario easter egg from Oot is just talon and ingo, funny how they look like mario and luigi,yes a lot of refrences to mario, not that many anymore though

[Peregrine]

You mean Talon. Talon is Malon's father.

There was also a picture of Mario in some of the houses in the village in Link to the Past.

[Onilink89]

really never noticed that in Alttp.

btw Darklink i never noticed they look like mario and luigi, come to think of it you are right.
don 't know if nintendo really intend to do that.

i noticed that the music can also be easter eggs sometimes.
for example, water temple song, the background music strongly resembles the music of super mario 3 when you get the rod after a boss fight. you know lthat mario falls from the sky and the curse is lifted from the king, or something like that.

[Mehplep]

Link's Awakening is full of Mario things... even Goompas is common enemies in dungeons.

[Peregrine]

Goombas, chain chomps, and even an evil Kerby clone.

Oh! and that couple having a romance by correspondence, and one of them passed off a picture of Princess Peach as their own.

[Alder Dragon]

How about the resemblence Tarin and Talon have to Mario, and the many references to Mario games in Link's Awakening such as Goombas, Chain Chomps, the Peach photograph and the Yoshi Doll. The Ghosts in some Zelda games do the same as first seen in Super Mario Brothers 3, where they will only come towards you if you have your back turned.

Malon also has a necklace/brooch type of jewelry that resembles Bowser, I believe. Those are all I can think of off the top of my head.

[MiniMeMilo]

You guys have listed so many, I can't think of any that haven't been said yet. Except for the flute in LttP. When you play it, the tune is from Super Mario Bros. 3. I actually spent about a week trying to figure out what it was from. It sounded so familiar, but I had completely forgotten the game. Me and my brother were playing Super Mario Bros. 3 for the last time (NES cable broke soon after...) and we heard it in the water world. Atleast, I think it was the water world...

listed many? man this only the beginning, there is so much easter eggs in zelda games.
there are even easter eggs that havn 't been posted in FAQ 's yet.

and yes that melody of water temple is samiliar of super mario 3.
i said that in my last post, but hey if you really notcied that by yourself, then i give you credit that i'm not the only one who noticed that.

but for now people talk only about mario easter eggs that are in zelda games, of course there are many of them but besides that, there are more intersting stuff.

for instance: remember link 's treehouse in oot. outside at the back of the treehouse at the back there a little picture scribbled there with a little boy and a monster. if i'm not mistaken thats ganon and link. or you know the time in MM when you get the circus leader mask, that tune is "Ballad of the wind fish" if i'm not mistaken.

[Mehplep]

The Indogo-Go's members are also playing various tunes from older Nintendo games...

[Alder Dragon]

Oh, I didn't know that you could mention Easter Eggs that refer to other ZELDA games. How about the well-known Ocarina of Time opening theme, it sounds like the flute from LoZ and SMB 3.

And the Chris Houlihan room - I think most people know about that. Chris Houlihan won a contest in a Nintendo Power Magazine and was given his own room in Link to the Past.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1f/Chris_Houlihan_Room_screenshot.png/180px-Chris_Houlihan_Room_screenshot.png

I'm sure someone else has noticed this as well. Mamu in Link's Awakening has a strange resemblence to King Wart from SMB 2.

Does this thread also include cameo appearences of Link? That is, references to Zelda from other games or movies? If so, then:

in Final Fantasy (one?), There is a grave with Link's name on it. And in Super Mario RPG, if you go in the inn, Link is sleeping there.

[Onilink89]

yeah easter eggs withing zelda games could refrer to so much things.
other zelda games and other nintendo games or anything nintendo releated , sometimes even other cultures (don 't know sure if you call that an easter egg but hey you notice it)

the dolphin easter egg and the n64 controller in MM was quite suprising.
especially the dolphin because when MM was released the GC was in devolement. not thats an easter egg with a deep hidden meaning. i also said in my first post, after a few years i realized the meaning.

btw the Chris Houlihan easter egg you mention, i didn 't knew that but thats funny.
its really an unusual easter egg.

[miku]

i noticed that the music can also be easter eggs sometimes.
for example, water temple song, the background music strongly resembles the music of super mario 3 when you get the rod after a boss fight. you know lthat mario falls from the sky and the curse is lifted from the king, or something like that.
That use of the word 'strongly' is a tad liberal there, don't you think? The section of the Water Temple music with slow arpeggios shares a measly 3 notes from the SMB3 music you're referring to, otherwise it's completely different. I've heard both and I never thought OoT was attempting any sort of Mario easter egg in that regard, but, being a musician, what do I know.

No idea what you're talking about. Maybe I need to listen to the Mario 3 soundtrack again, but I don't remember hearing the LttP flute melody anywhere other than in LttP. Check out vgmusic.com and link the track that sounds like the LttP if you're so inclined.

P.S. Are you sure by 'LttP' you don't mean "LoZ" and "the title screen of OoT" and that you heard this melody in the water world because you happened to use the flute while you were there? That melody is originally from LoZ and was reused in Mario 3 and OoT. The flute melody in LttP is (as far as I've been aware) unique, and kind of long for a flute melody. d g a D a b----- d g a D a b----- it keeps going and I won't continue writing it out cause I doubt anyone knows what I'm talking about anyway.

I think Mini meant the flute melody from the original LoZ.

[Chrono]

Heres one ftw...

Shrek makes a cameo in the beta version of Twilight Princess at Hyrule Castle Town.

Link and Epona both make an appearance in Shrek 2 via on a painting in the King and Queens bedroom...

[linkman8]

Hm, really? I'd have to check with that, but that's quite interesting. I didn't know the two companies were all that close.

[Onilink89]

Hm, really? I'd have to check with that, but that's quite interesting. I didn't know the two companies were all that close.

yeah i'm suprised, nintendo and disney?
of course there are some disney games on nintendo but as easter egg is really suprising.

[linkman8]

It's not disney, it's Dreamworks studios isn't it?

[Chrono]

Dreamworks studios designed the movie....its Disney.You know like Retro Studios designed Metroid Prime...its still Nintendo...just an example.

[porygonzx]

About the PH one on the gosspi stones how do they look like wario and There called boing-oing stones.

[Onilink89]

yeah whatever you call them, gossip statues also say boing-boing and give info.
i don 't know if nintendo did that one puprose but when is see the moustace and theeth like thing on those statues, it really reminds me of wario

[linkman8]

That's probably more coincidental, but that caught my eye as well. I can't remember, the ones in OOT didn't look like that, did they?

[Onilink89]

That's probably more coincidental, but that caught my eye as well. I can't remember, the ones in OOT didn't look like that, did they?

no the ones in oot had not even a face, i think it got the sheikan logo on it. one with the eye and bloody tear.

by the way there was a other easter egg is TP that refrered to oot.
you know the fishing pound right, after you looked at the fisherman picture of oot, the girl (can 't rember her name right now) begins to scratching her back like the fisherman in oot.

[linkman8]

Oh yeah, I did that one time and she says that sometimes she's compelled to scratch her back for "some reason". But we all know the reason.

[Chrono]

Back on topic people.

More Easter Eggs....

Links Awakening is full of them : Chomp chomp (mario bros), goomba (mario brothers), etc.

Even though I see those more as cameos than true easter eggs.

[Smitie]

I don't see him >.<


I think he's on the right side

[Chrono]

No, you blind people...he is on the left side...pretty much straight left from Link.

[Mehplep]

Hm... I think I see two of them :huh: One straight left from Link, and one on the upper diagonal line from Link. The second ones face is not very clearly, but he do resemble alot from the first one.

[Smitie]

No, you blind people...he is on the left side...pretty much straight left from Link.

oops i meant left instead of right. i really need new glasses

[proctorFFVII]

In WW, the guy with the curly orange hair has a tote bag with a small pic of an 8-bit octorock.

[Joey Kazooie]

In OOT and MM, the keaton mask resembles a Pikachu.


In MM, where Keatons actually appear, they look like something between a Ninetales and a Pikachu. The Keaton mask is called nostalgic by the mask seller, because kids loved them a long time ago.




Also, the Oocca in MM seemed to be based of a painting from M.C. Escher, called Änother World".

http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/escher/another_world.jpg

[proctorFFVII]

In OoT, the Temple of time has a pattern on the wall in the shape of Fox McCloud.

[Leix]

Here's one I forgot until five seconds ago!
Agitha, the bug ball queen in TP calls Link 'Grasshopper'!
=D
Also, Fyer in TP has a picture of a bullet bill on his arm.

[Glided Sword]

I've seen the Bowser button on Malon and never thought of anything from it since Mario and Zelda were both created from the same company.
I've seen the Mario mask on the Happy Mask Salesman and thought the same as the button.
Anything, I haven't noticed but yes, it is nice that Link uses his hands to open doors in TP.

[ebuch]

Ooccoo got it's name from the hexadecimal color code for the original color of Link in the first LoZ. #ooccoo

There was no Ooccoo in MM.

[Joey Kazooie]

There was no Ooccoo in MM.

Sorry, ofcourse I meant TP, but I got confused because I was talking about MM in the Keaton mask part.

[NarutoUzamaki300]

[Petman1325]

The Bombchu in OoT, MM, and PH have two references. The name ends in 'chu', and also the 'face' resemble Pikachu from the Pokemon series.

[Shadow Goris]

Heres one ftw...

Can someone post a pic of that?

[zeldusfanaticus]

chu isthe traditional sound that a mouse makes. if you've seen the movie spirited away, the mouse boy says chu
that wuold why the bombchu is a mouse like creature

and now my list. The Triforce is the symbol of a samurai clan. The ocarina songs in MM are the songs from OoT, only backwards(its just afew though). in one of the hamtaro games for GBA there is a pedestal with what llooks like the master sword from ALttP, once you get three beads(green, red, and blue) the hamster pulls it out. Epona is the name of the celtic horse god. The name Zelda came from Scott Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda Fitzgerald. In TP there is a carving in the wall of Arbiter's Grounds that depicts like fighting ganon in OoT. thats all for now, i bid thee adieu.

Also, if you go into a shop in the Hamtaro videogame. The shop seller will sometimes say:
"Buy something, will ya!"

[Zant_Slayer]

Link's Awakening is full of Mario things... even Goompas is common enemies in dungeons.

and a yoshi doll and the alligator dude with the bannanas reminds me of the crocks from DK

[Mikael]

in the game link to past in warous houses there are mario paintings

[Skull_Kid]

Also, in Majora's Mask, the musics the Indigo-Go's members are playing are musics from ALttP

[Hylian Hobbit]

Also, in Majora's Mask, the musics the Indigo-Go's members are playing are musics from ALttP

You sure? I know at least one of them was playing music from LoZ, but I don't remember hearing any ALttP.

[Skull_Kid]

One of them, i think it's the bassist, is playing the theme that you hear in caves that are located all over Hyrule's overworld in ALttP. I guess that maybe some songs from LoZ made their way to ALttp

[Welbanks]

"In TP there is a carving in the wall of Arbiter's Grounds that depicts like fighting ganon in OoT."

Wow really? could you specify where? i wanna see tht lol

[zeldusfanaticus]

i found a bunch on my own but i used some websites for help
here are some for twilight princess

[Onilink89]

i found a bunch on my own but i used some websites for help
here are some for twilight princess

http://www.desertcolossus.com/guide.php?page=zelda11/oddities&menu=xi

i have checked the link out.
most of them i already knew, but there are a couple that is completely new to me.
I'm amazed about some discoveries. and i'm also glad that i'm not the only one who is so interested about the minor details with easter eggs in zelda titles.

2 of them really caught my eye, so lemme give you my compliments for finding them (or the persons that reported it)

first one that i found really interesting was:

Two billboards in the Hidden Village each say "Welcome to Old Kakariko". Now, by "Old", do the Sheikah mean this is the Kakariko of OoT, or, more likely, their own "private" Kakariko, free from the rabble of the Hylians who were invited to settle in the "new" Kakariko.
http://www.desertcolossus.com/zelda11/oldkakariko.jpg

and the second one:

[Lank] After walking into the Arbiter's Grounds and arriving into the room where you first see the 4 big Poes, walk to the right and through the door. On the walls are sketches of Link with a shield and of Ganon. They're also seen in the room directly beneath this one in the nook that appears after rotating the pillar.

[Eralk Fang] This is a carving throughout the walls of the Arbiter's Grounds that resemble a beast and a man with a shield. Generic enough for a carving. As this picture is from the Wii version, I flipped it around to see the "canon" version of it. Turns out the symbol on the man's shield closely resembles the Kokiri symbol (seen on the Kokiri Shield) from Ocarina of Time! Not only that, there are three symbols above the beast's head. The final form of Ganon in Ocarina of Time had three ponytails. Could this be a carving of the Hero of Time facing off against Ganon?

[zeldusfanaticus]

everything you see that is in hylian can actually be translated if you have the time and desire to do it.
here is a site that has done the translating for you: http://www.omniglot.com/

[blackice_cc]

I was just playing Majora's Mask again today, and I noticed something odd as I walked from West Clock Town into South Clock Town. I had already slashed the owl statue in South Clock Town, but when I looked at the statue from the entrance into South Clock from West Clock (so I wasn't quite in North Clock Town yet) I saw that the owl's wings weren't open. A minor Easter egg, but neat none-the-less.

lol, i would not call that an easter egg, but rather a flaw.
something like that is also in oot. like when you are an adult and you are looking to the town from the hyrule castle entrance (with the broken bridge) then you still see hyrule castle town as it original state and also you see hyrule castle itself still standing in stead of ganons tower.

[Chris]

Hm...I have always loved easter eggs and I would always try to find them. Though I can say that I have never seen the fungus in the shape of a controller. Could someone give me a picture of it?

[Onilink89]

Oh! I discover something new! Something that no one noticed and its not even on the internet guides.

You know the elder goron that you tsumo wrestle right?
Well i was checking his painting pattern on its back and i was suprised

He had the logo of a fire flower from the mario series. (not talking about the common round fire flower)

it looks like this:
http://www.infendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/fire_flowersmw.jpg

next time check it out and you will see what i mean!

[MrMosley]

This probably isn't an "easter egg", but I have always though that the Moon in MM was somehow influenced by the asteroid you blast to get to the Black Hole in Star Fox for SNES (if anyone knows what I'm talking about that is).

Here is the asteroid from Star Fox. You would do a special thing to make it appear, then shoot it until it turned into the black hole. Then you go in and thats how you get to the Black Hole level.
http://www.rpgfan.com/mailbag/graphics/03_2002/asteroid.gif


And here, of course, is the Moon from MM.
http://images.wikia.com/zelda/images/c/cf/The_Majora's_Mask_Moon.jpg

Also, the fact that a Black Hole sucks things up in it is similar to the "I WILL CONSUME ALL" thing about the Moon in MM.

[Skull_Kid]

In PH, in the shop in Mercay island where the guy buys you stuff(the one that sometimes says: What?that isn such a triffle...), there is an eye to the right that is exactly like Vaati's eye

[Moosh_is_cool]

I played Link's Awakening recently, and in a dungeon (i forget if it's the first or second), there were mario monsters! There was Thwomps, Shy Guys, Piranha Plants and Goombas! In Minish Cap, there were some Lakitus, but I didn't notic until now.

[Wings]

listen closely in Goron Mines......
Music is Goron's Lullaby (from MM) quickly and industrial style =O
Also, Midna's three note theme is Zelda's lullaby backwards.

You are talking about the TP Goron Mines I assume? And that's interesting about Midna's theme. I never noticed that.

Good stuff you found there.

Try finding the running man and give him the bunny hood (in OoT). Sometimes it works, sometimes it dosen't. ^^ I won't spoil the surprise for those of you who don't know about it.

[Alder Dragon]

If you enter your name as Zelda in LA, you will hear a remix of the zelda theme. Not sure if this qualifies as an easter egg though. LA easily has the most easter eggs of any Zelda game.

[Kazumi]

I've got one! Well, its actually in Animal Crossing: Wild World, but its a Zelda easter egg.

If you go into a house, and open their dresser, (This is random on different gmaes, it my not ven be on your file at all) It'll say, "You found 10 rupees! Looks like this is your lucky day! To bad you can't spend them in this town.."

Cool, eh? I suppose its not really a Zelda easter egg... But it has reference to Zelda, sorda..

[Welbanks]

In one of (or maybe all of them? i forget) the goron elder rooms in the goron mines in TP there is a giant statue of the one eyed ghost salesman guy from the market in OoT.
I dont see why gorons would have a statue of that guy. Ive never seen anyone mention this online and i noticed it a while ago.

[Liam]

in PH, what are the gossip stones that look like wario? i haven't seen them and i've beaten the game like 4 or 5 times. also, an easter egg in MC is that if you run into a closet with the pegasus boots, it will open up and some rupees or a heart will come out. also, i don't really get this, but once you've beaten MC go upstairs in your house and go down into the bottom left corner under the table. Ezlo will say something like: "hmm? i sense something! if you have a secret, don't be afraid to tell me!" I'm thinking this might be where you get the amulet swiftblade talks about in the swordsman newsletter, but i've tried everything and can't figure out what thats for.

Well they have to have a Mario reference somewhere in the game.

Yeah they reuse names from old games a lot, for instance in OoT the names of the sages came from the names of the towns in AoL, there were a lot of posts so if someone has already mentioned this.. mah bad holmes g dog, Word up... Peace!

If you have't seen the stones you haven't beaten the game.. you may have finished the story line.. but not the game.. On the treasure maze island you have to talk to it to get in... on the uncharted island that you have to draw it makes you hit them in the right order in order to get to the Windfrog King.

Don't know if this one was already mentioned or not, but in Final Fantasy I and II Dawn of Souls, a gravestone in Elfland, I think it was, read "Here lies Link." I'm not exactly sure of the meaning behind it, but I presume that it was a tribute to the successful Zelda series while Square Enix was going down the drain. It's been a long while, but it's something along those lines. =P

[Halo siera 117]

I have 2 parts to one easter egg:
IN Alttp Kakriko village has paintings of mario in it,
If you pull on a certain painting you receive rupees!

[arkvoodle]

In OoT Hyrule castle, there are pictures of luigi, peach and mario i one of the windows.
(this may have already been said)
also, if you type your name as "Zelda" in Links Awakening, you will hear a remix of the Zelda theme. (also may have been already said)

if you shoot the window with the slingshot you get ruppees... if you shoot the other window, a bomb is thrown at you.

[Raven]

In MM there is a line up of 5 masks that clearly resemble starfox characters
keaton mask -> starfox
bremen mask -> falco
bunny hood -> peppy
don gero mask -> slippy
mask of scents -> pigma

[angelkid]

In TP the guy in the star game thing in castle town is said to resemble tingle (I don't think so.)
http://www.zeldauniverse.net/images/games/tp/characters/purlo.jpg
Also, tingle is on a sign post in PH (can't remember where.) Finally, In Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, Teddy Todo is said to resemble a Goron once he becomes a Drifter Bodyguard.
http://www.gamehiker.com/wiki/images/6/63/Teddy4.gif
Some nice Tingle easter eggs there ;).

[Toon_Link]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the masks from MM and OoT in figurine place on WW, but if you look to the left of the guy that makes the figurines you can see the Bunny Hood, the Keaton mask, the All Night mask, and the Goron mask hung on the wall.

[Raven]

In MM you can hurt Kafei with the bomb mask and probably normal bombs too.

[Shadsie]

Now for something completely stupid and it might not even be an Easter Egg, we might just be seeing things.

On my first playthrough of Twilight Princess, my fiance' watched me as I went through the Goron Mines. Suddenly, he exclaims to me "ELO!"

I ask, "Where?"

"Above that doorframe."

I looked where he indicated and, sure enough, there appeared to be the letters "E L O." The way they looked, however, I could not tell if they were intentional or just part of artwork/cracks, something that his eye just caught.

There is the possibilty of it being intentional, however. For those who do not know "ELO" is the common abbreivation for Electric Light Orchestra - a musical group famous for, among many songs, a song called "Twilight."


And, yes, that song is known worldwide. There is a music video to that song that is very famous in anime-fandom circles, done for a Japanese anime/sci fi convention back in the 80s by the people who eventually formed Studio Gainax. If you are wondering about, it just Google or Youtbue "Daicon" and you'll find it.

Unfortunately, I do not have any screenshots and I can't remember where exactly in the Goron Mines this doorframe is.

[Chrono]

That guy actually resembles Tingle's human form. Look for yourself. http://www.thehylia.com/cutenews/data/upimages/tingle2Famitsuscan24062009-1.jpg

[hsb39]

In MM there is a line up of 5 masks that clearly resemble starfox characters
keaton mask -> starfox
bremen mask -> falco
bunny hood -> peppy
don gero mask -> slippy
mask of scents -> pigma

The Keaton mask is SO Pikachu.

And I think that it's the Moblins in LA that look like Blastoise.

[Skull_Kid]

The Keaton mask is SO Pikachu.

And I think that it's the Moblins in LA that look like Blastoise.

You mean: Blastoise looks like LA's moblins, considering that LA IS much older than pokémon.

[angelkid]

That guy actually resembles Tingle's human form. Look for yourself.

That is because this is the new game which obviously includes something to do with Tingle's 'human form.' That IS Tingle's 'human form.'

The reason I have been putting 'human form' in inverted commas, is that Tingle is human, and if you think he isn't he certainly is in the beginning of TRR and he looks nothing like this there.

[Raven]

... right anyway... another one would be in MMs zoras hall when the sound check is taking place before the bands preformance. you can talk to the zora there and he askes you to play a note. after you do that your instrument has been tuned to that key for a little while.

[hsb39]

You mean: Blastoise looks like LA's moblins, considering that LA IS much older than pokémon.

Well, yeah. But I wouldn't be surprised if Miyamoto influenced Tajiri, or vice versa considering that they are friends, and that Tajiri had those ideas from childhood. But it's most likely just coincidence.

I don't know if this counts, but Zelda's Lullaby in OoT fixes broken signs...

[Niko Bellic 817]

Fyer in Twilight Princess has an image of bullet bill from Mario on his sleeve.

[Chrono]

Uhm...the Goombas/Chomp chomp in Link's Awakening. (well let's just say Mario cameos in general in most Zelda games)

[hsb39]

Fyer in Twilight Princess has an image of bullet bill from Mario on his sleeve.

Heh... That's pretty threatening.

Also, I don't know if it has been mentioned, but the market people in WW being Gorons in disguise was good.

[Shadow Wolfo]

I found a Mario picture in Alttp heres the picture of what I found.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/Tyb923/Untitled-25.jpg
Sorry I don't know how to delete the thumbnail. Can some on help me keep the picture but delete the thumbnail.

[Darknut]

In OoT there are three spells: Din's Fire, Farore's Wind and Nayru's love. I'm not too sure if these are easter eggs or not, but I posted it anyways.

[angelkid]

Dude, that's not an easter egg, that's just something that everyone knows :S.

[hsb39]

This has probably been posted, but the sages are the names of the towns for AoL, yet again, this is something that most people know.

[Vash03]

This has probably been posted, but the sages are the names of the towns for AoL, yet again, this is something that most people know.


Yeah, I said that.. also, this may have been posted already, I dunno though, the Zora Band leader in MM is playing the song that you hear when you are in the clouds on Mario, when you go into his room.

[hsb39]

I heard that in another game (I think it was a Paper Mario), someone says "I am Error".

[Shadow Wolfo]

Yeah, I said that.. also, this may have been posted already, I dunno though, the Zora Band leader in MM is playing the song that you hear when you are in the clouds on Mario, when you go into his room.
Also the bass player is playing a mario song I think I don't know though. It sounds creepy.

[x-Link-x]

I think I have two....I dunno if they've been posted yet but in MC, Din, Nyru and Farore can be found inside the Town's hotel. They'll fuse kinstones with you <3
In WW, there are several masks and the moon from MM hanging behind the sculptor guy at the Nintendo Gallery.
Oh and uhm Flat and Sharp [The Composer Brothers] have a striking resemblance to Mario and Luigi, no? <3

[Chrono]

In MM the Zora bass players plays the LoZ dungeon theme and the pianist plays the game over theme from LoZ.

I need to find a video of this..........

[angelkid]

I have just found one.
Started a new game on ALttP, and in the openning video, the sound of Agnahim (spelling?) teleporting a maiden (is that what he's doing :S?) is the same as a sound used in Super Mario Galaxy, not sure what for yet but I'll check soon then edit this post.

[Shadow Wolfo]

I'm not sure if this is a Easter Eggs and every one probably knows.

Theres a Great White in the Laboratory(underwater)

[startimer]

theres a picture of tingle in the milk bar in PH...was that said yet?

[Twili Kid]

In Goron Mines in TP when you go upside down your hat doesn't move except for a few times in the begining.

[ResidentZelda]

I was playing TP a couple hours ago and then I found that as wolf you get out of the twilight Midna is not on top of you but you can see her Shadow on top of your shadow lol.

Also There was this Powerpuff girls episode were the mayor of townsville was playing a videogame and then he said "Darn Fairy" and then in the screen said "YOU KILLED YOUR FAIRY GAME OVER" it was OBVIOUS that he was playing Zelda , And he killed Navi somehow :/

[ForestSheikah]

In MM, in the north part of Termina Field, there is a place where you can play your ocarina for Rupees. Among the songs you can play are the Nocturne of Shadow, the Prelude to Light, and the Serenade of Water from OoT. Others are not an Easter Egg.

[hsb39]

That's freaking awesome, haven't we all wanted to do that at some point?

[Lonewolf92]

Ok. In majora's mask, when you go into the paino players room, he is playing a "Game Over" theme from a previous Zelda (i forget wich one)

[ForestSheikah]

More songs include Zelda's Lullaby and Saria's Song, on that same wall.

[Shadow Link]

I didn't see anyone post this and i don't really know if its an easter egg but in OoT when you put a bomb next to those boing-oing statues they fly up. I never really stayed long enough to see if they come down though.

[hsb39]

I didn't see anyone post this and i don't really know if its an easter egg but in OoT when you put a bomb next to those boing-oing statues they fly up. I never really stayed long enough to see if they come down though.

And they get squashed with a hammer (which can also be done with the jab glitch).

[zzRICHzz]

in the original LoZ, you get the same flute that is in SMB3, and they play the same tune... this same tune is used in the intro to OoT

this might have been mentioned, i didn't notice it

[Evenstevenp]

In Super Paper Mario, when you are fighting the first boss, Fracktail, he malfunctions and yells "I AM ERROR", an obvious reference to Zelda 2.

[fiercedeity619]

i didnt see any posts about this but in TP whenever you use howl stones they're tunes from past zeldas. also when you call the hawk with the grass it's the prelude of light

[Welbanks]

in the original LoZ, you get the same flute that is in SMB3, and they play the same tune... this same tune is used in the intro to OoT

No, In SMB3 you get the same flute from Zelda ;)

Fifty charecters.....

[Master Kokiri 9]

There were chainchomps in alttp and bobombs in minish cap lakitus in minish cap (i think goombas were in there too but im not sure) and then the bullet bill thing on fyers (the cannon laucher guy from tp) arm

[Twili Kid]

When you see the zora queen in TP the water dungeons teleportsong the serenade of water is played.

[hsb39]

When you see the zora queen in TP the water dungeons teleportsong the serenade of water is played.

I remember that, I think that there were a few more of those in TP.

[Master Kokiri 9]

When you see the zora queen in TP the water dungeons teleportsong the serenade of water is played.

Ohh yeah i thought there was something familiar about that song...

[ironknuckle1]

Here are three the Biggoron's Sword Statue in Hyrule Castle near to the End in Twilight Princess. If you put Bombs as a and Arrows as B in Link's Awakening then push then at the same time then it will shoot a Bomb arrow. The music in the rooms of the Zora's Hall in MM. The secret room in Hyrule Castle at the beginning of ALTTP I don't know how to get to it but you can look it up.

[ironknuckle1]

This ones super obvious but Malo = Malon Talo = Talon.

[Twili Kid]

I just noticed this on my replay of TP, Howling stones are gossip stones from Oot with a hole in them.

[ironknuckle1]

here is proof of the Biggoron's Sword Statue in TP Hyrule Castle end. http://www.eeggs.com/images/items/2106.full.jpg

[hsb39]

here is proof of the Biggoron's Sword Statue in TP Hyrule Castle end.

That could just be a big sword, you can't see it in enough detail to confirm that it's the the Goron Sword.

[ironknuckle1]

go to eeggs.com ad type in Biggorons sword and it should pop up it is almost a exact replica im pretty sure this isn't just a coincidence but we should have more people view it first.

[fiercedeity619]

go to eeggs.com ad type in Biggorons sword and it should pop up it is almost a exact replica im pretty sure this isn't just a coincidence but we should have more people view it first.

how is this an easter egg? .

[ironknuckle1]

no you didn't read the rest of the conversation I had an egg at the top but they were trying to say it wasn't a egg so i was trying to show a pic of it and it wouldn't show so i gave the website.

[HaruHaru]

I certainly noticed the N64 controller fungus thing in the water of inside the clock tower In MM.

[ottobot]

can we do zelda easter eggs in other, non-zelda games because i've got a few
1. in kirby superstar great cave offensive the last treasure you get is the triforce :triforce:
2. also in kirby sword kirby wears a hat that looks like links hat and he can shoot sword beams at full health.
3. also the anti kirby in LA
just a couple of kirby related ones there.

i think this belongs in world of zelda

[Kele]

Arwing was supposed to be easter egg (Oot) but it was taken out.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/thumb/6/6a/Arwing_Fight.jpg/120px-Arwing_Fight.jpg

[Cashew]

The bob-ombs in the Minish Cap. (Sorry if this was already mentioned)

I'm not really sure if its an easter egg, at least in my opinion.
Some think it was an easter egg for fans while others think it was there to test the game engine and targeting system.

[i-am-link]

In that picture on page one, there's a thing that looks like a compass (see image).


Anyone think they were trying to hint something? ;)

[Dungeon killer]

Arwing was supposed to be easter egg (Oot) but it was taken out.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/thumb/6/6a/Arwing_Fight.jpg/120px-Arwing_Fight.jpg

This was suposed to be a hidden enemy made by the producers and it was ment to be an easter egg. It is in all the N64 versions and you have to do something in the village for it to appear.:nerd:

[nicktheslayer]

I dont see him.

Also, noone mentioned Yoshi rock or the Bullet Bill on the fat clowns sleeves. (Both TP)

[ottobot]

oh! i just remembered one! in animal crossing you can get i think !00 rupees and a message pop up saying "you got 100 rupees! to bad you can't use them here"

[mandym287]

oh! i just remembered one! in animal crossing you can get i think !00 rupees and a message pop up saying "you got 100 rupees! to bad you can't use them here"
It was ten rupees.

But I had a list of some, but I can't remember them all... Well, here's the ones I do remember:

*One is that when in Wind Waker, you can make the King of Red Lions flinch when you attack him. I don't know why it's so funny, but it is.
*Another is in Phantom Hourglass, when you're in Romanos's Shooting Range and you fire an arrow at him. He'll jump over it. I just thought that it was kind of funny...

I guess I'll have to edit this post when I think of any more.

[Sparky]

I literally just now only realized the Thelma and Louise shout out in TP that is Telma of Telmas bar and Louise, her cat.
How I missed the reference on the last four play throughs is beyond me.

[SirenOfTheSea]

One thing I found is that when you play the Ocarina of Wind in The Minish Cap, it plays the beginning of the intro theme of Ocarina of Time, but a bit more sped-up.

The figurine gallery in Wind Waker has the Bunny Hood, Goron Mask, All-Night's Mask, and I believe the Keaton Mask hanging on the wall.

In A Link to the Past, there are some paintings of Mario located in Kakariko Village. If you pull on their moustaches, ruppees pop out.

In Majora's Mask, the four forms of Link play Ballad of the Wind Fish. Compared to the original one in Link's Awakening, it sounds awful (in my opinion).

I think most, or all, of these were already mentioned. For now, they're all I can think of, not including the thought of the billions of Mario references in Link's Awakening.

[derektherock42]

In TP, one of the clowns (the one at the cannon) has a tattoo on his arm of Bullet Bill from Mario.

[badmuffins]

In OOT, if you hit the window in the castle courtyard with a slingshot, (not the one with the Mario paintings on it.) A guy will say something like "Don't damage my windows!" and throw a bomb at you. It's Pretty funny! Also, if you hit the window with the Mario paintings, a red Ruppee will fly out!:)

[Pancakes]

What about the paper airplane on one of the pillars in Ikana Castle?
Has anyone saw that?

[ergman]

One thing I found is that when you play the Ocarina of Wind in The Minish Cap, it plays the beginning of the intro theme of Ocarina of Time, but a bit more sped-up.


no. it plays the whistle theme from smb3. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Coriolis Effect]

well i know a Zelda easter egg that actually relates to me.....My name is...Talon..(yes I am a girl ) my friends make fun of me for that....

[badmuffins]

In spirit tracks, the cutscene of when you get you train driving license or something, at the very start, Tetra should be pictured on a window.

[Welbanks]

no. it plays the whistle theme from smb3. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, SMB3 plays the whistle theme from Zelda 1 :)



What about the paper airplane on one of the pillars in Ikana Castle?
Has anyone saw that?

Whoa whoa whoa, please explain further, I want to see that :o

[Pancakes]

Okay when you go to the roof of the castle on the first half of the dungeon there are two pillared areas. One area is used by Deku Link to get a heart piece. The other area SEEMS to have nothing on the pillars, but one pillar has a small paper air plane.

[Mikenike]

Deku link meaning this is in majora's mask? Is there a way to get a picture or explain which pillre and where?

[Pancakes]

Deku link meaning this is in majora's mask? Is there a way to get a picture or explain which pillre and where?

Okay,first go to the Ikana Castle's roof. Look at the bottom of your map,and when you go there you will see the three pillars I mentioned. The first pillar closest to the wall will have the airplane.
REMEMBER: THE BOTTOM OF THE MAP!

[Twili Kid]

The captain of soldiers in ST is named Russel. Russel is from TP Ordans best swordsmen. In both games he gives Lnik his first sword.

[link9]

Is it just me, or do the graphics in TP and Pokemon Colesium seem raather identical. Like in the Death Mountain dungeon compared to the mining town in Pokemon Colesium.

PC came first, so TP might have built off of it??

[Epwna]

In WW,the stained glassed windows in old hyrule have the sages from oot on them.

[enemytracker]

(the crash blew away my posts, so I'll put everything back)

ST:
-There is a golden tingle in the trading post.
-The tingle in the credits looks sad :(, but the ones in the various shops are smiling:).
-The easiest way to kill the three big blins in the take 'em all challenge is to let them hit to eachother.
-You can bomb/arrow Cole in the final battle :)!
-The mothula that appears in the grass temple is the same one that appears in WW.

*more easter eggs coming soon!*

[enemytracker]

Here's another one from Spirit Tracks:

-If you play your spirit flute near the phantom zelda, she'll say: "It's a nice song!"

[Jedizora]

i am not sure if this has been posted yet but in super smash bros brawl zeldas moves are Din's Fire, Farore's Wind and Nayru's love from Oot

[enemytracker]

There is a Deku tree in the Happy Aquarium(a Facebook game) store(click for a bigger image):

How I missed the reference on the last four play throughs is beyond me.

can you explain this more, please?
50 chars.

[blubb]

I think that MM's Stone Tower music sounds a little similar to FFVI's Figaro castle (compare the beginnings of the "main themes")


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyPVit8Mveo


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spAiJM3E5Z8

Another thing (which is quite obvious and has probably been said dozens of times before) is that three of the provinces in TP are named after the goddesses (Lanayru - Nayru, Faron - Farore, Eldin - Din). But this makes me wonder what Ordon is named after (is there a 4th goddess?)

[eponafan]

i think ordon was just made so that there would be no rumors that link was a child of a goddess or something...

[Flute Boy]

of course, every zelda game has many easter eggs in it, most are from other nintendo games, most commonly used being mario. however, zelda has its own zelda easter eggs, for example, the all night and keaton masks from MM are hanging on the wall of the figurine museum in WW.

[Zeruda]

Another thing (which is quite obvious and has probably been said dozens of times before) is that three of the provinces in TP are named after the goddesses (Lanayru - Nayru, Faron - Farore, Eldin - Din). But this makes me wonder what Ordon is named after (is there a 4th goddess?)
Those are provinces within Hyrule, so it's natural they'd be named after the Goddesses. Ordon is outside of Hyrule.

[g.narron]

Don't forget in super mario bros. 3 when you play the magic whistle it plays a zelda tune from OoT

[the_gamer]

Don't forget in super mario bros. 3 when you play the magic whistle it plays a zelda tune from OoT
It doesn't, it plays the tune from the tuner from Zelda 1 on the NES.

[g.narron]

It doesn't, it plays the tune from the tuner from Zelda 1 on the NES.

Oh my bad :)
i thought it was in ocarina of time lol ill be more careful next time :)

[MetaPwn]

people might have put this but- the yoshi doll, the mario painting, and my favorite- FYRE HAS A BULLET BILL TATOO!!!! (fyre is the man at the large cannon in the middle of lake hylia in TP)

[octorok74]

I have one that my mind just figured out that not a single member has said. Koume and Kotake bear a resemblance to the magikoopas in the Mario series.

[enemytracker]

A kind of Moldorm appeared in Knife edge- nose gunner for 64.

[ottobot]

here's one: in the nitrome game, skywire VIP, the answer to level 71 is legend of zelda.
Also, this one is probably unintentional, but anyways, on the cover of the book children of the lamp 5, the symbol on the door in the background bears a striking resemblance to the sheikiah symbol
http://nbplteenbookblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/the-eye-of-the-forest.jpg

[enemytracker]

You, guy, have noticed that the Oot last boss theme is similar to the ST Demon train theme?

Oot last boss theme:

[blubb]

Yeah, they use a lot of returning themes, if we stay at Ganon(dorf), I think it started as early as 1991 with aLttP. Here's the Ganon fight (has some similarities to the following games):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dXpv9nJRv0

And here's the "normal" Ganon theme, which returned in OoT (in the final rooms of Ganon's Castle), MM (the baseline of the Final Day Clock Town music) and TP (towards the end of Hyrule castle):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8PqhW99aE

[ShadowMidna]

As for easter eggs, it would be the Mario paintings in Hyrule Castle in OOT. And in A Link to the Past, the Mario pictures in some of the houses.

[i-am-link]

These kinda sound similar.

ST: The name of the Locomos has something about trains and rails.

Examples: Steem (Steam), Rael (Rail).

[Hero of Time]

One I found a couple months ago in ST was 2 Tingle statues.

[Linkmations]

In LA, Tarin and The Cucco Man make close resemblances to Mario and Luigi, In Super Mario Bros. 3 the Warp Whistle sounds like the Flute from LoZ, Talon and Ingo look like Mario and Luigi, Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy looks like one of the ladys from LttP in Kakariko Village (the ones that call the guards if they spot you), The Seven Maidens (people call them the Seven Wise Men) in LttP resemble each 7 Worlds in Mario you have to go through in order to reach World 8 and defeat Bowser saving Peach in the process (a.k.a defeating Ganon and saving Zelda), Tarin and Marin bare a close resemblance to Talon and Malon, In the beta versions of OoT the Castle Guards looked like Samus from Super Metriod, In LA, Mamu looks like Wart from Super Mario Bros. 2, Keatons look like both Pikachu, and Ninetails from a game called Rhapsody: A Musical Parody (Playstation game), The Wind Fish Egg from LA is from a game called Adventures of Kit Linkotar 2: Egg Mountian, Majora's Mask also resembles a African God called Majora and Majora's Mask resembles the face of Majora (Majora is the God of War in African Culture), That's all for now! :)

[SheikahWarrior]

in a south park episode there is a brief cameo of link and ganondorf, they are only on screen for a few seconds though

[Phantom Ganon]

Onilink I am about 500% positive that Link was able to open doors in Ocarina of Time. Did yo honestly forget the Fire Temple were that would be all he did? Clunk after loud clunk closing and opening doors. Also just got ST and it's a decent game and I've seen a Tingle statue in the back of the Merchants shop. I was trying to hit it and the such but it wasn't working lol.

[Dr3W21]

Goombas, chain chomps, and even an evil Kerby clone...

Oh yeah there's also Boos, Bloopers, Cheep Cheeps, Buzy Beetles, Shy Guys, Spinys, Sidesteppers (sort of), Bob-Ombs, Pokeys, Pirana Plants, and those Bombers look like winged Super Mushrooms.

[Aurafox]

This isn't really an easter egg to Zelda, but it's an Easter egg FROM Zelda, I've noticed that there are a few similarities between the origional Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic. Well first off, their is the stopwatch power-up, it IS the same thing, and DOES the same thing in both games. And, if you pick up a stopwatch in the origional LoZ, link flashes resembling that of the flashes from picking up the star power up in the Mario Bros. series.

[Ooccoo Watcher]

The cannon guy in TP has a tattoo of bullet bill on his arm.

[enemytracker]

MM- Majora's incarnation know how to dance ballet and any other kind of dance (He really dances in the last battle).

PH- The gossip stones look like Wario.

[Majorasrath]

In oot child zeldas necklace is the same symbol as the things in the stone tower in mm that you shoot with the light arrows to flip

[Ember Incubus]

I do not know if this is mentioned, but in ST, Malladus is named after some german tran.

[RamboZelda]

Not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but in LA everyone is familiar with the goomba reference, but it took me a while to realise that you can take them out the traditional way by jumping on their heads.

[Hylian Legend]

I think that in Link's Awakening, there are Bowser's head statues in some of the sidescrolling screens. You can even grapple to some of them with the hookshot.

[DreamDevourer]

I don't know if anybody else caught this (I'm not interested in reading 11+ pages to find out, either), but I thought I saw a teeny bit of Hylain writing on the bus in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Before the camera goes over to Cap'n, look at the top right corner of the screen and you'll see a white sticker with a few markings on it.

To me, it looked like Hylain.

[nintendo4ever]

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask music box house sounds alot like that big boo's song in super mario 64

I believe something like this was in one of Nook's Shops.
Okay, so... In the beginning of Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks; Toon Link is sleeping. Interesting, huh?
Also, in A Link to the Past, if you use your Magic Hammer and try to help forge stuff with the smithies, they will get mad at you.

[illmatic]

The Ocarina of Wind from The Minish Cap has the same tune as the flute from Super Mario Bros. 3. Someone on the first page said the flute from ALttP sounds like SMB3, but that's not true

[blubb]

Actually, it's the flute (in Engrish: "recorder") of the first Zelda game (LoZ) that sounds exactly like the flute in SMB3 (which came out later). It was also used in the title screen of OoT, but a little different.
And speaking of SMB3, the water world map theme (level 3) is where the File Select/Great Fairy Theme of aLttP (and later games) comes from.

[blue-eyed-beast]

if u shoot a seed in OoT at the mario windo i think a guard comes out and is mad

[enemytracker]

I've found a few more...

TP:

- Uli and Yeta have the same voices
- the Gohma Larvae in Twilight Princess resemble Mitites from Pikmin 2 appearance and movements.


EDIT: On Dragon Quest IX, when you use a certain coup-de-grace, three little fairies that look like Leaf, Ciela and Neri (PH) will appear.

[Jedizora]

The sun song and the song of passing both do the same thing and sound the same.

[Aero_Dynamic]

In Spirit Tracks, when you go to Hyrule Castle and go to the shop, there is a Tingle figure on the right.

[Thunder-ocarina]

In TP, if you put on the Zora armor, Link has the spiritual stone of water around his neck.

[enemytracker]

A few more...

Ooa:

-Eyesoar's name comes from the words 'eye' and 'soar', but together, they sound like 'eye sore'.

ST:

-Malladus bears a strong resemblance to Ganon's Dark Beast form from Twilight Princess, as well the color scheme of his The Legend of Zelda appearance.
-Malladus is the second villain to possess Zelda's body, the first having been Ganondorf in Twilight Princess.
-Dark Trains destroy anything they come in contact with, including enemies like Bullbos, Tanks, and lava rocks. Unlike colliding with the Spirit Train, they will not explode when hitting anything else.

Its the palidin coup-de-grace.

Click on this link to see something rather interesting about MM, it wouldn't let me post it.

[Master Sword13]

These are REALLY COOL Easter Eggs! I don't really know of any myself, and if I thought of one off the top of my head It'd probably already have been listed. It could also be said that the Graveyard in Hyrule Castle in TP resembles the moment of getting the sun's song in OoT, as when you do something specific, (I can't remember what,) the rain stops as if you've played the sun's song. There's also the big gravestones that resemble the one in the back of the graveyard in OoT. I could be wrong though.

[enemytracker]

Its the palidin coup-de-grace.

No, it's actually the ranger coup-de-grace. I forgot to mention it. :sweat:

[Jedizora]

You were right, the guide says that it was ranger but that makes no sence to me. The palidins are the one's with the faires after all.

True, jedizora, true. DQ9, great game.

[Linknmike]

This only has something to do with the Wii, but I thought I'd mention it.

If you COMPLETELY beat TP (get all the bugs, have 20 hearts...) you get a Link Mii.:)

[Djinn]

I am almost certain Queen Rutela is wearing the Zora Sapphire.

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8900/fishzo.jpg

http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9144/sapphirer.jpg

Now I could be wrong since the shape is not perfectly exact. But in OoT Ruto did tell Link that the Zora Sapphire was used as an engagement ring by the Royal family.

[Jedizora]

I'm surprised none mentioned this, but next to saria dariania, there is a staine galss pic of ganon with his to sword in dark beast forum, in the WW master sword chamber.

[Silva]

I don't know if this was already mentioned but the cloak that Zelda wears in TP has the Shiekah symbol on it.

And there are skis wich have the Triforce symbol on it. xD

The triforce is a very commen corpration logo, believe it or not. I ahve seen a couple in NY and I have heard of a samiri clan from japan that used it.

[Zelda_Duh]

I've always liked easter eggs. Some of these I didn't even know, so now i have to go play and find them.

[Master Sword13]

This only has something to do with the Wii, but I thought I'd mention it.

If you COMPLETELY beat TP (get all the bugs, have 20 hearts...) you get a Link Mii.:)
Nice find, Linknmike. I've managed to get all 20 hearts, get all the bugs, all the armor, shields, but one collection still eludes me. Poe Souls. I think I had 59 the last time I played TP. ONE AWAY FROM THE TOTAL!!!! I even made it to the last enemy floor in the Cave of Ordeals and it wasn't there. I still don't know where it is to this day.

[WulfLink]

I know for sure that this egg has yet to be mentioned, but in OoT, in the Gerudo's Fortress, the little watchtower above where you get thrown into jail has what looks to me like a dog with a finger pointing to it. Pm me for specifics on how to get to it if you're lost.

Could you post a screenshot of it? I think I know what place you are refering to but I never thought of a dog when I saw it.

[WulfLink]

I could try, but there's no promises.

[Scrub]

I dont see him.

Also, noone mentioned Yoshi rock or the Bullet Bill on the fat clowns sleeves. (Both TP)
Actually, alot of people mentioned the bullet bill. Not sure on yoshi rock though.


ST: The name of the Locomos has something about trains and rails.

Examples: Steem (Steam), Rael (Rail).
Also (I think) Byrne, as in burn

[DekuNut]

LA: Anti-Kirby
(Link vs Kirby)
Chain Chomp
Blooper
Boo Buddy
Bombite
(Reminds me of Mario Bob-Ombs)
Cheep-Cheep
Goomba
Mask Mimic
(Shy Guys)
Piranah Plant
Pokey
Thwomp
(Most of the above are based off of Mario enemies)
Nightmare: Dethl
(a common Kirby boss, Marx, looks like Dethl. So does Ultimate Vaati)
I hope no one else posted these, I barely skimmed through the other pages.

[Celeboy]

It's not really an easter egg, more of a cool thing. If you put a bomb near a Gossip Stone, it will fly off like a rocket and in ST, he music stones fly off like rockets!!! Another one is in Super Mario RPG, in one of the inns, link is asleep and when you talk to him it makes the *wow you've found a hidden cave/key/chest/hotdog stand* sound!

[Oni Cucco]

I lost the post I should quote but the songs played by the indigo-gos in their rooms arent mario songs, as some already said they are zelda old songs, listen:

since I cannot remember more easter egg in zelda games I would say that, in super mario rpg, you can find link sleeping in a toad house

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0oBDLEObs8

[mandym287]

Well, this isn't much of an easter egg, I don't think, but... In the Wind Waker, after you confront Ganondorf on the Forsaken Fortress with the Master Sword, and before you take Medli to the Earth Temple, if you give her a Golden Feather... Well, she gets all happy because the gold feathers are something Ritos use for wedding proposals or something...

I also mentioned one about the Smithies in A Link to the Past, and finally got a video, but it won't let me edit the post because it's too old, so... I guess I'll include that, too...

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vbp2c-NR68)(if you want to skip my travel, since I was too stupid to use the flute, just skip to 1:42-ish on the video)

[DekuNut]

Saria's last lin in OoT is alike Spock's final line in Star Trak 2: Revenge of Kahn, "Spock is and always will be your friend,"
Oh yeah, and then the Vulcan "died"

[RHhylian]

In the Kirby games, Kirby could get a power-up and then he has a green hat and a sword, just like Link ! Mases pointed this already out in 1 of the collection video's.

[OhYeah!]

I love eastern eggs but i suck at finding them. This has probably been posted but in Hyrule Castle, TWW, there is a painting with Zelda and other people who looks like the Pirates. I found it pretty intresting.

EDIT: Doesn't the music change in like houses if you name Link Zelda in TWW. And I've heard there is a way to change the color of Link tunic, also in TWW.

[Luigidude64]

the indigo-go are based off thr go-go's (no duh)

Thats an interesting easter egg of the smithies I had never seen or thought about doing that.

[zeldahuman]

oh, by the way, even after completing TP 100%, you don't get a Link Mii. it's a st00pid rumor that was started and it's not real. i finished TP 100% YEARS ago, and to this day the only Link Mii i have is the one i made...

[ZeldaHunter]

Heyguys, many people have noticed a lot of Mario easter eggs in Zelda games. What easter eggs can you find in Zelda Games? Post them here :)

[Locke]

We have an extensive thread for easter eggs already.

~merged~

[UraZelda]

the pics in lttp tarin in LA and the window in OoT and OoT 3d

[LnktheWolf]

in oot go to the temple of time as a kid and when you draw the master sword, focus on the yellow diamond on the swords hilt, it will turn into a starman from mario

[Hylian Knight]

Part of the title screen theme in OoT sounds like/ is the recorder music in the original LoZ.

[VaatiWindMage24]

im not sure if this is a easter egg or just a secert and if many ppl know of it or not but in majoras mask, if you read mikuas notebook/diary in the drummist, tijo's room and memorize the song you play with the bass guitarist,japas, and you play it for the pianist evan he'll say, "isnt songwriting the job of the bandleader?what your not happy w/ my songs?" its kinda secret and funny :)

[Zeldawolfsheik]

LA there are a lot of cameos to mario,
enemies yoshi doll, mamu/wart.... etc.

[JerônimoLink]

This is probably well-known, but in Spirit Tracks, the first time you enter the ceremony room, you can see a painting of Tetra.

[Kirikaiten]

Wow I think i might be the first to actually notice this, But In Snow Peak Mansion In TP, on the 2nd floor, in the room where you have to knock a chandelier sideways, then another one vertically to get to a chest with a red rupee in it theres a painting on the wall that looks a red swirling mess ..actually looking at it , it looks like a distorted Demon Lord Ghirahim.. wether an easter egg like the whole dolphin thing mention pages ago or, if its actually a hint that Ghirahim plays a much more noticable role in Zelda.

[Conor]

I'm surprised nobody has posted this before, in the stock pot inn in MM there are several large masks on the walls that bear a striking resemblence to zant's mask

[NekoFangirl28]

I'm not sure if it counts as an easter egg but Nabooru's second-in-command's clothes change colour with whatever tunic you have worn throughout the Gerudo Fortress in OoT.
