SNES Legend of Zelda Series References
5/29/2015
Here, I have compiled all of the references to The Legend of Zelda Series in SNES games. Please Enjoy!
Donkey Kong Country 2 - Cranky's Video Game Heroes
Link places third in Cranky's Video Game Heroes competition with 19 DK coins.
Super Mario RPG - Link in Rose Town Inn
After staying in the Rose Town Inn for the first time, Link can be seen sleeping in the other bed. If you attempt to speak with him, the secret discovery sound effect that appears in all Legend of Zelda games will be played.
Kirby Super Star - Sword Ability
Whenever Kirby gains the sword ability, he dons a green cap like Link. Also, Kirby and Blade Knight can use sword beams at full health like Link can in many Legend of Zelda games.
Kirby Super Star - Triforce
The final treasure that can be collected in the Great Cave Offensive mode is the complete Triforce.
Donkey Kong Country 3 - Bazaar's Comment
One of the things you can ask Bazaar is "So who owns the castle?". If you decide not to pay him, he comments "Some cheeky lad called Link was in just last week and he asked about the castle too. He didn't have enough coins, but he seemed such a nice fellow that I agreed to accept 500 rupees instead. After that he left... muttering about my shells being the wrong shape or something. Oh well!".
Please let me know what you thought of that in the comments or on Twitter!

I'm the guy who programmed this whole website from scratch and I'm responsible for most of the content you see here (including these cool author profiles!). I've been a huge fan of Nintendo since I picked up my first NES controller when I was 3. When I'm not writing articles or filming a new video, I enjoy playing and composing music, reading, math, art, and computer programming.
