Link's Awakening went from "this guy looks like Mario" to "You fight goombas, pirahnah plants, bloopers..."

So all this time the Fairy Fountain theme has actually been a Super Mario Bros. 3 theme????

you gotta appreciate how many of these are link's awakening, that game is severely underrated imo

Wait, if the happy mask salesman has a Mario mask, and the masks are from dead people, doesn't that mean that Mario is dead in the Zelda universe?

I consider The Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule as separate continents in the same planet, in which are part of a solar system close to the Lylat system, and wherever Pop Star, Zebes, SR388 and the Pikmin planet are. Also somewhere in space is the Formula Zero Grand Prix

"It's pretty hard to miss when throwing one of these shells." Mario Kart reference.

I always dreamed that we'd one day get a game with both Mario and Link together. Not exactly like Smash Bros., but something like an adventure of some kind.

The chain chomp was originally going to be used for Zelda

I like to think that all of the nintendo games are connected in the same universe except for the obvious easter eggs

Awakening has a lot of Mario references.......

My theory: Ganon and Boswer are actually brothers. Red hair. Monster-like. Stealing princesses. Totally related.

Everyone: *looks at link’s awakening HD reveal* “wait there’s goomas in this new Zelda game and a chain chomp? There’s never been mario x Zelda before!” Nintendo unity: “that’s where you’re wrong, kiddo”

Mario and Zelda are bros who put each other's things in each other's games

2:26 Zelda Bros confirmed

And just to think. Chain Chomps was going to be in Zelda games to begin with but ended up going to the Mario series instead.

I thought 0:50 was the Fairy Fountain Theme because for every game after A Link to the Past it has always been the Fairy Fountain Theme. wow. my life is a lie

And now Link's Awakening, by far the game with the most Easter Eggs is getting a remake on the Switch 👌

The Nintendo World really is small, I’ve played Odyssey and haven’t discovered any references to any other Nintendo Franchises. I love these Crossover Easter Eggs. I want Kirby and Samus to meet again like they did in Dreamland 3, heck you could even throw in Pit and the Kid Icarus series since Pit fights creatures very similar to Metroids.

I will have to"speak" with him about this in smash 5.

I love how these sagas are connected each other! 😍

I havent payed much attention on many play throughs ....now i am

Also for the first one those blocks are the same as Mario's blocks.

I don't think the file select theme is a reference to water land as much as water land was a reference to Zelda. The file select in just about every Zelda game is the fairy fountain theme which also appeared in Zelda 1. So it would be as water land is referencing the fairy fountain theme

The file select screen is a remix of Water land's music from smb3 at 0:44. (Water land's music is also heard in ssb3ds in the stage, 3d land.)

I remember as a kid "Link's Awakening" blowing my mind with Chain Chomps and Goombas being in the game, but I forgot about all the other enemies... And Peach and Yoshi (remembered that) and Wart?? Wow!

Anyone else notice the Fire Gloves make the same noise as would Mario throwing a flame

I love seeing the old Minish Cap footage. Best game.

I finish minisj cap yesterday I feel good remembering all the things I did in the game the finale of the game is sad

0:39 That reaction when you see someone more famous in your place.

The chain chomp also appears in the four swords multiplayer from Link to a Past on GBA but it is a very rare item. I remember finding one in Vatti's Palace.

That green haired guy you talk to in Link's Awakening before showing you a picture of Princess Peach, he looks like the Mayor from SimCity.

I also just realized the first Zelda game has hard blocks from Mario

Great video!

9:20 The other Links have a shy guy head

0:43 funny enough that file select theme has stuck around ever since the first game that had save files. but it has been updated to stay in line with the times.

I got stuck on that Chain Chomp room in Link To The Past for YEARS thinking you had to defeat them to reveal a key.

I love these videos. Make more!😬 please😊

Did you forget that the three links have shy guy faces in Triforce Heroes? Malon wears a Bowser neckless not Ingo. The Hammerwear can also be based on the Hammer Suit as well. If blue Link or red Link wear the Hammerwear, it resembles a Boomerang Bro or Fire Bro, respectively. www.mariowiki.com/List_of_Mario_references_in_Nintendo_video_games#The_Legend_of_Zelda_series Here is a full list.

This is awesome! :D This is my inspiration for the new video game I'm designing called The Legend of Mario: Linked Adventure! :D

It’s kinda weird since like JWittz said there are more Zelda references in the later Mario games, while there’s less Mario references in the later Zelda games. It’s nice to know that these two references are tight af tho.🙌🏽

Ooh minish cap.. my first game of zelda ♡ love it

the file select is the fairy fountain music, witch is a remix of water land so thats like half a reference

the blocks in the first legend of zelda game, shown in the middle of the pirhanna plant one, look alot like those blocks in mario

Who else is absolutely buzzing that links awakening has been remade for the switch 😆😆

Mario is jumping and Link is running And both of them know that evil is comming Now imagine that they decide to team up Their enemies reaction would be What the f*ck? ~ Levodaro

I heard a rumor that Link's Awakening is being remade. I have my doubts, but I hope to God it's true.

It would honestly be cool if we could get some exclusive Mario Bros items in BotW by putting down amiibos

The fire goes give the same sound effect from Mario all well

"The Manuel from the game calls Manhandla a massive Piranha Plant" Is there some secret NPC named Manuel hidden in Zelda 1 that I wasn't aware of? If there is, are you sure that Manuel is credible? *I DEMAND ANSWERS*

That's TURTLEY wonderful.

7:45: Is this where Blue Shells in the Mario Kart games come from?

In Link's Awakening, you also fight with Kirby-like creatures.

9:23 What Loz Game Is That And What Console do you Play It On

3:06 a shy guy is like a mirror wherever you go.

Yes you finally took my idea

Chain chomps are also in four swords adventures, in kakariko village

1:12 Nice Princess Peach picture

9:47 *That white hooded ghost looks like Hyness from Kirby Star Allies.*

I don't get how or where that blue thing at the beginning of the video is a Mario reference.

what is that second game with all the sidescrolling? is it a gameboy game?! i must play it someone please tell me !! :D the one around 2:30 - 3:34 game

When you get the fire glove, and when you draw a fireball has the Mario fireball sound

The entire thing makes sense. After all, their first major games were co-developed!

0:03 and second reference is 2 block from smb1 nes

7:45 Are those Spinies? Because they look 100% more like the Shroob Spinies from Partners in Time and I am pretty sure they are supposed to be those.

Yume koujou doki doki panic which was changed to become Mario world 2 for America is a common origin between both Mario world and Legend of zelda, for example Doki doki panic uses rupees, hearts and potion bottles as well as masks imagery. Many of the monsters and items on both game series came from it, all the west Asian influence come from a game inspired on the Arabian nights from there the genie lamp on Mario party 3, the shy guys with tunics and mask and so on.

In links awakening I always jump on the goombas and get hurt. Fools me every time.

Malon also have a Bowser necklace in Ocarina of Time, both as a child and a adult.

Love it

what about the chain chomp in the legend of zelda four swords?

NOW I HAVE A REASON FOR WHY I LIKE ZELDA GAMES BECAUSE.... YOU GUEST IT IT HAS MARIO REFRENCES AN ALL MOST ALL ZELDA GAMES AND THATS AMAZING

The song from 8:03 is a remixed song from super Mario 64

In gc zelda isnt the castle theme look like smb3 snes ver??

A few a quitw a bit of a stretch and others were back when sprites were expensive

So many Easter eggs

Link swings a live chainchomp around, it's not even like it's painted to look like one, it is one cause you see it's mouth open

When enter the zelda garden to meet the princess you noticed two window the right you see there are the character of mario series everbody noticed that and two men resemble mario and luigi and the last you see bowser necklade i forget in remake appear the mario level 1 those creator of the game put all the reference to program and called the cameos or easter egg true

Hey! You missed the Hokkubokku from Triforce heroes! They resemble Pokeys. (Hokkubokku are stacks of bouncy balls that live in the desert. That has to be a resemblence!

The doppels in triforce heroes also look like the shy guys.

i loved the 2d sections on the gameboy Zeldas

Several houses have Mario pictures in them, and 1 is seen at 0:35.

Bet I would of loved if they made a mario mask with the secret ability to transform into mario like in 64 Ds! It could be like the giant mask, it can only be used in certain areas! His special abilities would be his jumping abilities and he can punch enemies!

The manual in the legend of Zelda 1 calls Manhandla a massive piranha plant at 0:05.

One Of The Ground In The First Zelda you Showed The One Of The Floor Looks Like The Hard Block In Mario 1

I feel like sometimes he’s grasping and prolonging time like we get it TALON LOOKS LIKE MARIO WE GET IT

so how come you didn't refer to the feather item since it was the same sprite for the cape feather in SMW and speaking of in minish cap once you level the feather up it turns into the cape, big miss there lol

5:38 you doin okay there

The file screen is the great fairy fountain theme

Maybe there on separate planets but have a way to visit one another, so all the Nintendo characters would just be on different planets! It explains how they get to each other in Smash Bros. Also the Mario & Zelda worlds may have the species of animals!

6:32 are you sure they don't represent waluigi or wario??

7:46 this specific version of spiny is an enemy in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time.

Me just chilling thinking the title screen was great fairy fountain

2:53, was that supposed to be Bob-Omb and Kamek?

what game is it when he changed his outfit'!?

“So how many Mario cameos do you have” Link’s awakening “Yes.”

3:34 If you observe well in the center there is a green L that I think represents Luigi

How about the Ocarina of Time start menu having the same music as the warp whistle in Super Mario Bros 3?

2:40 what happens if you press down on the pipe (after the pirhana has retracted of course)

Just for further reference I believe it's a broach not a necklace in majora's mask.

Do a reference of pokemon in other games

Wait so the fairy fountain theme is just a remix of a Mario theme. I guess you learn something new everyday.
