This is a draft of an update "poast" introducing the new Easter eggs page for LA Month. I'm posting it here because it could use some serious editing, and I'd like to hand it off to someone else. I have other things on my mind, and I'm certainly not an expert on LA. I think Mases's intention was to focus a little more on Totaka's Song, maybe even leaving out the stuff about "For the Frog the Bell Tolls." I would appreciate any help in fleshing out details on Moyse and Totaka (maybe include some biographical stuff - when they worked at Nintendo, what other games they worked on, etc), and make this slightly more like an article minus the length. I posted some of the resources I used [http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?16306-Link-s-Awakening-Month&p=252799&viewfull=1#post252799 here]. --[[User:Locke|Locke]] 00:47, 28 April 2011 (CDT) | This is a draft of an update "poast" introducing the new Easter eggs page for LA Month.

Apparently we cant use references here? (not terribly familiar with wikis) I kinda wanted to add that Totaka liked curry ([http://www.glitterberri.com/links-awakening/staff-list-interview source]). That's also the source for my "sound programming/sound effects" and "nickname" edit. The Totaka section needs to be expanded, and everything made to sound more interesting. It doesn't read well at all as it is. --[[User:Locke|Locke]] 01:11, 5 May 2011 (CDT) | Apparently we cant use references here?

Easter has passed, but the Easter egg hunt is never over. Well-hidden eggs are bound to turn up throughout the year. These musical Easter eggs in Link's Awakening were found a while ago, but perhaps you didn't know about them. If you did, you may not know their full story. | Easter has passed, but the Easter egg hunt is never over. Well-hidden eggs are bound to turn up throughout the year.

Like many other Zelda games, entering "ZELDA" as your file name causes something interesting to happen.

Moyse was a German translator who worked on this and several other games. He is infamous for strange or perverted text he adds to some of his translations, and in ''Link's Awakening'' he even added his own song. However, for the remake on Game Boy Color, his song was removed and replaced by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=322JII0g6fc Totaka's Song]. This song still takes the same file name ("MOYSE") to unlock. | ||
Totaka's Song is even more interesting. This song was created by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazumi_Totaka Kazumi Totaka], who was in charge of sound programming and special effects for ''Link's Awakening''. He has hidden this same 19-note tune in almost every game he's composed for. Aside from the German version of ''Link's Awakening DX'', it also appears in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2fAzLpB0Gw both Japanese versions] if you enter his nickname "とたけけ" (totakeke) as the file name. | Totaka's Song is even more interesting.
