Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy (Zelda Cameo).png

In the Japanese version of Final Fantasy, there is a grave hidden in Elfland that read "Here Lies Link 837 - 866. R. I. P.". In the US version of this game; the gravestone was changed to read, "Here lies Erdrick 837 - 866. R. I. P.", referring to the hero from the Dragon Quest series. However, Link's grave can still be found in the remake of this game in the iOS, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, and PlayStation Portable.

Tetris

By completing a B-type game at Level 9 or above with height of 5, a screen packed with Nintendo characters appears. Link can be found in the bottom corner, playing the Recorder.

Super Mario Bros. 3

Toad houses sometimes contain a whistle that can be used to travel to other worlds. It is a reference to the Recorder from The Legend of Zelda. It even plays the same tune, and the whirlwind also appears to take the player away.

" The Zelda tribute level was born from tests we did to determine what type of expressions would be effective in stereoscopic 3D...We determined that looking down on a room from above would be a good match for 3D, and when we created a level in which Mario walks from room to room, we ended up saying, 'this seems oddly familiar… it's Zelda!... Having taken things that far, we decided to add a number of ideas from Zelda. Since it was the 25th anniversary of Zelda, we could have made the Zelda tribute level 2-5, but we didn't think it would be a good idea to put the level in too early, so we made it level 5-2 instead."
