The Legend of Mario: Mario Refrences in The Legend of Zelda Series

We all know (or at least should know) that Nintendo references it's own games repeatedly. Included upon these references is Nintendo's most famous video game character Mario, and it's second most famous game The Legend of Zelda. These two game franchises have interacted multiple times. Some people even believe they're on the same planet. I'm actually going to prove this theory, even though I don't have any opinions on it at all.

• In "A Link to the Past", you can find a painting of Mario and if you pull it, Rupees will come out
• Chain Chomps, a famous Mario enemy, appear in many Legend of Zelda games. In Link's Awakening, the famous enemy was called "Bow-Wow", and actually helped Link throughout a certain dungeon

• The character "Wart" (Super Mario Bros. 2 in America, Doki Doki Panic! in Japan) appears in Link's Awakening and helps Link by teaching him "The Frog's Song of Souls"
• Also in Link's Awakening, several Mario character sprites appear in the game's code
• An image of Peach is seen, but it's says "Christine"
• Once again, in Link's Awakening, one cave in the second dungeon which resembles World-1 in Mario features Piranha- Plants and Goombas. Unlike most enemies, you can stomp on the Goombas

 

Since there's so many references in Link's Awakening, I can't list them all. However, check

the references for more.

 




The picture of Peach.



• In Ocarina of Time, Ingo, Malon and Talon wear Bowser necklaces
• You can also see images of Peach, Luigi, Mario, Yoshi and Bowser on the window to the right in the castle courtyard
• In Majora's Mask, The Happy Mask Salesman has a Mario mask on the back of his backpack.

An image of Malon's Bowser necklace. Malon also looks like Mario and sleeps how Mario does in Super Mario 64. 

There's many more references, but I need to do more posts. Keep checking my blog for more awesome information on Mario!
