Also in Animal Crossing, you can open the drawers and cabinets of your neighbors. One of the things it can say is that you found some Rubees, but there's no place to spend them. Also, on the MK8 Link tracks, I like how they replace the coins with rubees. It's a nice touch.
I knew there was gonna be a Zelda reference in Animal Crossing. Especially since Link is theorized to be the Doomslayer. Who is Isabelle's best friend.

What's even more amusing about Zoro getting a Link costume is all the Straw Hats (at the time) get their own Nintendo-themed outfit in that game. Luffy - Mario Zoro - Link Nami - Wii Fit Trainer Usopp - Yoshi Sanji - Fox Chopper - Kirby Robin - Samus Franky - Donkey Kong Brook - Marth
Well Sonic is a LOZ Fan. And I still want to know. How exactly did Sonic get to Hyrule is Sonic Lost World? Did Link like invite Sonic there and open a portal, did he Chaos Control there? I really want an explanation on how he got there.
Fable 3 had a grave that read "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!" If you dig there you will find a wooden sword. Also in Skyrim during the companions quest, Farkas will mention that "It's a secret to everybody."
He probably didnt include it because he would have had to credit like 30 kirby games and its less of a reference than a game mechanic at this point because of how much its appeared.
Fun fact: Kazuya can also wear Link's outfit in Tekken Tag 2. This mean there are 4 characters in Smash had wear Link's costume at one point (Kirby, Sonic, Bayonetta & Kazuya) Edit: Actually 6, Yoshi & Villager did get Link's costume too. 7 if you count Mii Fighter.
love that sonic,bayonetta(she looks nice and surprisingly natural in them/the places she goes to have zelda vibes with the european influence.) & zoro(he does get one of his swords similarly to link getting the master sword in botw,like this came out on his birthday as him fighting link would be awesome and link trying his 3 sword style would be interesting.:3) have worn links clothes.
You forgot Wolf Link in Animal Crossing: New Leaf😅 I got him to move in to my ACNL town via amiibo. In-game his name is W. Link and his house is Hyrule-themed. I know it's possible to get a pig/boar called Ganon to move in by using a Ganondorf amiibo, but I don't have the amiibo for it. Oh and ACNL Ganon is a tsundere, naturally😅
It *technically* doesn't count, but an honorable mention that exists in LoZ Phantom Hourglass: There's a guy with squinty eyes and a ginger beard that wields a pitchfork. He sails on his ship, which is called...wait for it... "The Prince of Red Lions". Wears Link's tunic and poses as the hero.
I can't believe the "New Horizons" update didn't include any new Zelda or Nintendo items, not even the ones already in literally every previous game. (I want an Arwing.) Were the developers suddenly afraid the items would overshadow the normie items, or what? We can have numerous Switch systems or Mario items, but they just ignore every other series that desperately needs cameos/love. Really bugs me, just like how Jakks Pacific got rid of their "World of Nintendo" figure line, and only do Mario characters now ignoring every other Nintendo series.
I Got to Play Soul Calibur II Link Edition I Played It on My Gamecube I Had Good Games My Gamecube and Watching the Fragment of Soul Calibur II Gave Me A Lot of Nostalgia
Aquele momento que a Nintendo perdeu uma oportunidade de fazer um jogo incrível com o Link 0:35 Mario RPG é muito bom Um dos melhores jogos do Snes mas já pensou o Link sendo um personagem jogável que entrava nos combates com o Mario.
in cadence of hyrule is it really a guest appearance when the name has hyrule. i know this is a sequel to a different game but its more of a collab of equal parts between cadence and link
Today we'll take a look at the evolution of Link References & Cameos.
I hope you enjoy this new video and please comment your favorite reference! :)
the best link is zonk
Monster Hunter Ultimate ( my personal opinion )
I think you missed Smash bro’s and Super Mario Maker 2, but other then that nice job!
SMM
You forgot terraria :/
Link in SoulCalibur was, and will always be absolutly amazing
Man,
Link has been everywhere.
Just like zoro
So has the Doomslayer. And Link is theorized to be him.
As a One Piece fan, the inconsistency with Zoro's eye bugs me some, but i love the vid. Zoro as Link made sense. XD
Cuz they both wear green
@@yaboijuanito1460 that and swords.
@@rbaws1 yea true but imagine zoro saving zelda while link fighting pirates with luffy
@@yaboijuanito1460 same. But Zoro would also get lost and somehow make it to Ganon randomly. XD
@@rbaws1 yea cuz he has really short term memory and doesn't know his directions.

Wasn't there also a wolf link you could get as a neighbor in animal crossing as well?

Link's laugh at Mario Kart 8 is just so precious

Also notice the sonic shoes at crankys
What's even more amusing about Zoro getting a Link costume is all the Straw Hats (at the time) get their own Nintendo-themed outfit in that game.
Luffy - Mario
Zoro - Link
Nami - Wii Fit Trainer
Usopp - Yoshi
Sanji - Fox
Chopper - Kirby
Robin - Samus
Franky - Donkey Kong
Brook - Marth
What game is it?
@@aaronisaacramos2502 One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X for the 3DS
Unfortunately it's Japan-only and requires Amiibos to unlock these costumes.
I think it's kinda cool that Sonic of all games has a Legend of Zelda reference
Well Sonic is a LOZ Fan. And I still want to know. How exactly did Sonic get to Hyrule is Sonic Lost World? Did Link like invite Sonic there and open a portal, did he Chaos Control there? I really want an explanation on how he got there.
sonic broke the fabric of reality and ended up in hyrule somehow
My favorite reference is Sword Kirby.
7:28 Zoro got lost in legend of zelda
Honestly kinda cool to see Skyward Sword Link has been kinda the face of link recently in games
To see the Dragonborn wield the Sword of Evil's bane to slay Alduin is a story I thought I'd never see.
So this is where zoro went
Fable 3 had a grave that read "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!" If you dig there you will find a wooden sword. Also in Skyrim during the companions quest, Farkas will mention that "It's a secret to everybody."
I’m surprised there is no Kirby, considering the sword ability is the most obvious Link reference
Green hat

@@gravylurk4346 8:16
@@itsyaboig641 oh lol I missed that, thanks for pointing it out.
Awesome collection! I also remember in Mario 3D Land on the 3DS, there's a room where you light torches and it makes a Zelda sound
That stage is based on zelda
Sword Kirby is the best one because they just kept adding Zelda references to the move set as the Kirby series went on.
I really like the sonic one. Because he's the best.
I agree
5:43
IDK Quagsire is pretty epic
Yeah
@@Kingsbeak NO NO NO WRONG NO NO SONIC SUCKS LINK IS THE BEST
You forgot one. In the 1st Final Fantasy. In the first town. If you check out the graveyard, you'll find a tombstone that reads _"Here lies Link_
THE LINK REFERENCE IN SONIC WAS TOO CUTE!
imagine showing link sonic to people from the time where sega did what "nintendon't".
7:28 zoro is wearing a link costume? Just in time for his bday of course >:]
In Final Fantasy, there's an elf village with a gravestone that reads "Here lies Link"
Zorro got lost in the legend of zelda universe
Soulcalibar is definitely my favorite. It’s great that it’s not just a costume. But link is in a fighting game outside of smash and is so badass
Who knew that Link has cameos and guest appearances in other games!
Yep, the only one I knew of was the one where he stayed at the inn.
11:11 well no shit, Cadence of Hyrule is Zelda x Crypt of the NecroDancer, why is this even here?
Never though i would ever Saw Zoro holding master sword, thank you for the video btw
You forgot that in Skyrim we can get link botw outfit, the Hyrule shield and master sword. :0
love that sonic,bayonetta(she looks nice and surprisingly natural in them/the places she goes to have zelda vibes with the european influence.) & zoro(he does get one of his swords similarly to link getting the master sword in botw,like this came out on his birthday as him fighting link would be awesome and link trying his 3 sword style would be interesting.:3) have worn links clothes.
Lmaooo zoro in the thumbnail
0:34
Link be like: JUST LET ME SLEEP BRO
im happy zoro gets a link costume
There's also a reference in a a crypt where is written: ''here lies Link'' in Final Fantasy 1
The Legend of Zoro

When Zelda finally finds Ganons protein powder stash and starts gaining
You forgot Wolf Link in Animal Crossing: New Leaf😅 I got him to move in to my ACNL town via amiibo. In-game his name is W. Link and his house is Hyrule-themed. I know it's possible to get a pig/boar called Ganon to move in by using a Ganondorf amiibo, but I don't have the amiibo for it. Oh and ACNL Ganon is a tsundere, naturally😅
Tetris was predicting smash rosters b4 any game journalists and 100% accurate lol
Possibly a minor reference but the Hero Suit in Terraria is meant to be a reference to Link.
i saw zoro in the thumbnail and immediately clicked
Same
Such a great vid. Some of these I havnt seen so it's a nice surprise.
Monster hunter stories looked so fun.
Who is the one in the third photo? (next to the animal Crossing villager)
Might be difficult to get footage of but Link's outfit and master sword is also in Phantasy Star Online 2 if you play on the Switch
It *technically* doesn't count, but an honorable mention that exists in LoZ Phantom Hourglass:
There's a guy with squinty eyes and a ginger beard that wields a pitchfork. He sails on his ship, which is called...wait for it... "The Prince of Red Lions". Wears Link's tunic and poses as the hero.
is it just me, or did we all click this video to see zoro dressed as link?
I can't believe the "New Horizons" update didn't include any new Zelda or Nintendo items, not even the ones already in literally every previous game. (I want an Arwing.) Were the developers suddenly afraid the items would overshadow the normie items, or what?

YOU NEED TO ADD LITERALLY ALMOST EVERY SINGLE KIRBY GAME SINCE IT HAS THE LINK HAT IF YOU GET THE SWORD ABILITY
I Got to Play Soul Calibur II Link Edition I Played It on My Gamecube I Had Good Games My Gamecube and Watching the Fragment of Soul Calibur II Gave Me A Lot of Nostalgia
I recently played supraland and one of the fallen heroes is link ✨
Where is Zorro?
My favourite link reference is links costume in animal crossing new leaf I think the costume looks really cute :)
You forgot literally the sword ability form Kirby is a fresh reference to LOZ.
The Link outfit in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 looks much better than the actual tunic in Smash 4.
Nice compilation! You only forgot Miitomo ;)
Must be different versions of Super Mario RPG, I remember even over 20 years later than my copy had Samus there instead.
2:19 this music is so poggers
This is How Iconic this series is lol
The green shy guy will be forever a Link reference
Whoever plays dk country in widescreen is a maniac
I feel like I’m having a stroke trying to read the text
didnt you missed kirby's sword ability?
the hat is very similar to link's
0:13 Sonic shoes on one side of the trash can was wild 😂
They didn’t have to do him like that
@@Bekyboi501 ye i know, i prefer how Nintendo and Sega ended up working together honestly. Before that it was wild
@@danthegaro407 I know, they were basically enemies
I don’t know if it’s a reference but you can get a Link outfit with the amibo in Miitopia
(Does it count ? I don’t think it does…)
The hero of reference
This is the equivalent of artists drasing your OC in their style
you missed his guest appearance in Mario Maker 2
Just curious which ones were ds/3ds and switch games
11:25 Regigigas Pokemon reference
Zoro is awesome with the master sword and could probably beat link
bUT CoULd hE bEAt GoKU ThOo?
I thought Zoro was lost again hahaha
Forgot one in Dragon Quest, there’s a tombstone with “here lies Link” on it iirc
Link has always been there
There's is a refence in a game called death road to Canada a charters is called link ( and is playable also I have the game)
Idk what but I like to go on beat on that certain micro game 3:01
Meanwhile at Hyrule:
Link: Three Master Sword Style, Purgatory, ONIGIRI!
Link ronoa is the best
One I didn’t see anyone mention in the comments. There’s a Link Doll (I believe LttP Link) in the princess’s bedroom in Wild Arms for the PS1.
I usually see Link references in video's descriptions
You missed the master sword power up for the super mario bros style in super mario maker 2
Really awesome😮😁!
5:05 when you wanna put Superman theme in your game but you don't have rights
In the PS1 version of Final Fantasy, there is a gravestone in Elfheim which says „here lies Link“
On the original NES version it says „here lies Erdrick“ though
If zoro had multiplying Master Swords, he would have been a god 🤣
Aquele momento que a Nintendo perdeu uma oportunidade de fazer um jogo incrível com o Link 0:35
Mario RPG é muito bom
Um dos melhores jogos do Snes mas já pensou o Link sendo um personagem jogável que entrava nos combates com o Mario.
Sad there was no footage of Miitomo Link Outfit
if you talk with link in Mario Rpg
link make the sound when you discover a secret in TLOZ
9:30 Link and Majora being friends......
I don't remember it that way
in cadence of hyrule is it really a guest appearance when the name has hyrule. i know this is a sequel to a different game but its more of a collab of equal parts between cadence and link
Link was in the original Mario kart 8 too.
Zebei has a color palette in Indivisible that references Link too.
What if there is link references in games where link is in 🤔🤔
Reee I need a link costume for new leaf and miitopiaaaa
There is also dead Link in the elf village of the first Final Fantasy
Honestly, I feel like Zoro in a Link costume when I play Breath of the Wild 😂
Well there is a Link power up in Super Mario Maker 2. so-
Where’s the Link Powerup from Mario Maker 2?
I was surprised with Sonic doing it
Bro the last one is so acurate
Whats that one song during the animal crossing cameo and the miitopia (2021) Cameo
