Zelda Easter Eggs & References in The Wind Waker

[@FioreFire]

the way that bottles, bug nets, and fishing rods have effects in big climactic boss battle in so many of the games have always been some of my top favorite easter eggs. it just really shows that the developers had a sense of humor

[@anonymousfellow8879]

[@OMFGeoff]

These are great Easter Eggs and I never noticed them! However one Easter Egg that I DID notice was a really deep-cut one. At the Flight Control Platform, the two Rito who run the minigame are named Obli and Willi. Based on the Nintendo Gallery descriptions of those two, it turns out they're not actually Rito. They're humans dressed up in Rito costumes since they love the idea of flying so much. You can tell since they don't actually have beaks and look like they're wearing giant fake noses. Anyways, I'm 99% sure this is a reference to the two gentlemen who built and flew the world's first motor-operated airplane: Orville and Wilbur Wright. Obli even has a gigantic moustache just like Orville did.

[@melisastone231]

Thats awesome

[@01loganmc10]

Gulliver referencing Zelda actually makes sense, and in more ways than one. For starters, him referencing Link's Awakening specifically is obviously because he's a seagull. The second, and more significant reason (at least in my opinion) is the fact that Gulliver was referenced by the Mailman back in Phantom Hourglass, where he would say "So...I'd appreciate it if you didn't, ya know, shoot me with a slingshot." This references how you would get Gulliver to wash up on the beach in several past Animal Crossing games, by shooting his UFO with a slingshot as it flew overhead.

[@uros2404]

Wow, i love those references

[@sansnom5269]

The second reference is wrong. It's actually a reference to Tingle. In Majora's Mask the way to get his attention is popping up his balloons.

[@succubasu]

@@sansnom5269 there's actually no slingshot in Majora's Mask, so it could almost definitely be a reference to Gulliver

[@erectilehydra7403]

@@succubasu actually gulliver isnt a postman. Its reference is to Pete who you would be able to shoot him down with a sling shot between the times the mail would be delivered in wild world.

3:35 Makar is actually the wind sage. Medli is the earth sage. Im sure you knew that but just slipped up :)

[@poisonmist13]

No, Nintendo slipped up. A plant person NOT being the earth sage is dumb. The LITERAL BIRD not being the wind sage is DUMB. Fish evolving into birds when the world floods is DUMB. Remind me why this game is one of my favorites again?

[@wolfgang7037]

poisonmist13 bruh 🤣🤣🤣

[@Substitute_Zero]

poisonmist13 Well the fish evolving into birds does make sense, the OOT Zoras are freshwater fish that would die in a saltwater ocean AND the gods wouldn’t want them to find the ancient hyrule that was sealed underwater if they evolved into saltwater fish... so birds

[@Icalasari]

@@poisonmist13 It was magical evolution - The Zora were made to evolve to keep Hyrule from being found again

[@jackpoling5981]

poisonmist13 because it’s DUMB

[@Tabar-Nak]

I have a thought on the Empty Bottle Dead Man's Volley thing. Maybe Hylian glass is inherently magic resistant, they are used to hold Fairies, Poes, and many varied magical potions, so why not be able to reflect magic back at the caster?

[@firebatray7946]

6:16 I think this is a double reference. We got Lon Lon Milk and the blue milk from Star Wars.

[@HighFiveTheHorizon]

Do you ever wonder if the LoZ devs giggle to themselves in production, thinking: "Oh boy, those Zelda Theory nerds are going to have a field day with this"? Also 6:16. Blue Milk? Obviously a Star Wars reference in a game series that never did that before!!

For April Fools, you should make a video called “Zelda References & Easter Eggs in The Legend of Zelda” (Zelda 1) and just have it be the intro, then outro. Edit: A better idea is to just say a bunch of redundant stuff. "In Zelda 1, you can find two large stone formations in Death Mountain. These are very similar to a similar formation which appeared in Zelda 1, and has come to be known as Spectacle Rock."

I'll never forget first seeing those masks behind the sculptor's desk in the Nintendo Gallery and then obsessively trying to get the best angles to see every little detail behind the desk and feeling huge nostalgic excitement every time I saw something recognizable. I'll also never forget collecting ALL the figurines in the entire gallery. I wish I still had that kind of passion, dedication, and time that I use to have as a kid/young teen. BotW did a damn good job of bringing that feeling back but it still wasn't the same as when I was a child. Getting old sucks lol

[@BorgztheDutchCyborg]

7:05 Well, actually, there is something similar IRL. Banana flavour used in things as candy, cake, juice and ice cream is actually the taste a extinct banana species had. Since those went extinct, different kinds of banana (the kinds we eat today) are being produced, but for before mentioned treats, they still use a synthetic flavour based on that extinct species.

[@kaialone]

There's a bit of an obscure reference not mentioned here that I don't see many people talk about, namely that Ganondorf's twin swords actually read "Kotake Koume" in Hylian, which of course references his adopted mothers. But that's not all, there is a bit more to it than that. This next thing is something I've actually never seen anyone else document, so here goes: See, in the original GC version of Wind Waker, "Ganondorf's swords read Kotake Koume" was only true for the Japanese and Korean versions of the game. For some reason, the American and European versions had altered Hylian text on Ganondorf's swords, which now read "honmono", which is Japanese for "real thing". But it doesn't end there, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the trophy of Wind Waker Ganondorf had different text on his swords YET AGAIN, with them now reading "Zubora Gabora", just like Phantom Ganon's sword. Finally, in Wind Waker HD, the swords now read "Kotake Koume" in all language versions, although the look of the symbols has been altered slightly, with two letters being flipped. It's very confusing why they kept on changing this text so much, but the best guess I can make is actually pretty funny. I believe the text was altered because the Hylian spelling of "Kotake Koume" in the Japanese GC version accidentally happened to resemble the f-word, of all things. This can be seen somewhat noticeably in-game during the scene in which Ganondorf points his sword at Link at Forsaken Fortress. I'm guessing someone caught this during localization and it had to be changed hastily, leading to the non-sequitur "real thing" replacement. And then, by the time Wind Waker HD rolled around, they found a way to fix the issue while keeping the emotional connection of the reference in tact. Also if you can't find Japanese footage of that scene where Ganondorf points the sword at Link but still want to see what it looks like, here is a picture of it: pbs.twimg.com/media/DwA4zuWW0AEQ9pE?format=png&name=small

[@FridgedOtter]

I'll never find it not funny that in the wind waker the best possible geography for Zora exists aaaaaaaaaaand they aren't around

[@Tazerboy_10]

1:10 ---> "Seahats are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. A seafaring variety of Peahats, they hover off the coast of several islands throughout the Great Sea. They tend to congregate in packs and will attack anything that enters their territory." 9:35 ---> The statues could loosely reference pikmin... (From left to right: Red Pikmin (Nose) / Blue Pikmin (Gills/Mouth) / Yellow Pikmin (Ears) 10:10 ---> I have to disagree with everything, except for Link's sisters name to even be close to "Marin..." (The flower on Marin looks to be a Hibiscus flower, but the flower on Aryall's dress looks nothing close to resembling it...)

[@SchmergDergen]

He didn’t mention the Pikmin thing because everyone knows that.

[@thelegendofzoey]

Aryll is definitely loosely based on Marin

[@Mech610]

Maybe 'Lon Lon Milk' became so ubiquitous with the beverage in old Hyrule that the name survived as the catch-all term for it, even if it's not produced at Lon Lon Ranch. The way people call all tissue 'Kleenex' or all soda 'Coke'. The names 'Deku Nut' and 'Zora' could have survived as names for other, similar things, too.

[@otterbells]

8:50 best guess is the WW text on the stones is a leftover from when TP was originally going to be a sequel to WW.

[@BobSnicket]

Brand New Theory Idea: No one seems to have any definite idea who the ancient Zonai race were in Breath of the Wild--in spite of the many theories suggesting they were Twili, the Interlopers, Skyloftians, etc. BUT, I've come across a reference in another game that is almost indisputably referring to this group. In Four Swords Adventures, the Desert of Doubt region is home to the Gerudos, but also another group: THE ZUNA TRIBE. There's no doubt in my mind that the name "Zonai" is derived from "Zuna" in Four Swords Adventures. Too many other closely named parallels in Breath of the Wild already exist (Rudania/Darunia; Nabooris/Nabooru; Mekar/Makar; etc.) for this to be a coincidence. The Zuna in Four Swords Adventures are a race of Middle Eastern-like, green-skinned beings who were known for having built ancient pyramids and other structures found in that game. While there does not seem to be a ton of detailed information about their history in this game, it is by far the most direct reference I've seen anywhere in Zelda to the Zonai in Breath of the Wild. (See zelda.gamepedia.com/Zuna) A theory on this could explore questions like: Why did the Zuna/Zonai build these pyramids? Could they still be connected to some of the other theorized groups like the Interlopers/Ancient Ones? What implications might their familiarity with the Ganondorf of Four Swords Adventures have for the alleged Zonai runes present in the Breath of the Wild 2 trailer, and for the sequel as a whole?

[@GL_099]

Additionally, the three godess statues themselves are a reference to another series: The statue with red eyes has a nose, the one with blue eyes has a mouth, and the one with yellowish green eyes has pointed ears. This references the Pikmin games, with the Red, Blue and Yellow pikmin having the same respective features setting them apart. In addition to that, this comment is also a refernce to the fact that _we still havent heard anything about Pikmin 4 please Nintendo I need it_

[@levie8269]

I hope they announce pikmin 4 soon

NO, OH GOD, OH GOD PLEASE NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[@sunheart_aquarelle]

The Lonlon milk, Deku nut cake and Zora coffee could be for the same reason we have Dragon chilies, Dino cookies and unicorn cakes. They simply liked the name/there's a sort of "myth" or saying about them. Like the custom of dressing boys in green when they come of age. :)

[@KarfeeMcmarfee420]

This will always be my favorite Zelda game. I will always remember first playing it with my older brother, It was so fitting with most of the story focusing on Link saving his little sister.

[@oreonblade]

6:50 I don't think the menu is too far fetched. Lon Lon Ranch is long gone but their method of milk production may have been copied by others. Same with the Zoras; they may be gone but their coffee could have been popular enough to be passed down. And just because Link doesn't use them doesn't mean the Deku Nuts aren't around; if the Deku Tree is there then there should at least be an equivalent (although more for food than for combat).

[@aquari1659]

I played Wind Waker (my first and fave Zelda for many years) and even I didn't know about most of these. Especially the Rito being the running man. Well done, these are really unique.

[@syntheticspades]

there are actually quite a few references to Ocarina of Time regarding music. in the Forest Haven theme, there are bits of Kokiri Village and the Lost Woods, possibly a nod to the Great Deku Tree residing in both Kokiri and Forest Haven. the trill-like jingle that plays after conducting/playing OoT’s Sun Song and WW’s Song of Passing sounds very similar, possibly because they are fundamentally the same. in the Outset Island theme, there are obvious nods to Kokiri Village once more, because both Kokiri and Outset are the birthplaces/homes of Link in each of the games.

[@garese]

That they are called bombchus isn't an easter egg, it's a fact. The confusion is that the bombs are named the same as the rats. Also, the bottle-ting when reflecting beams isn't an easter egg either. It's a game mechanic. That's like calling breaking pots an easter egg referencing basically all other games in the franchise.

[@Dinosaursrecycle]

Another fun reference about the tower of the goddess statues. The red one has a nose, the blue one has a mouth and the green has ears. These are references to the different design of red, blue and yellow pikmin.

I remember when the words on phantom ganon's sword caused a fucking big thread on a old zelda forums about timeline and shit, that was long before hyrule historia.

[@catriamflockentanz]

2:36 Does it? We don't know for sure which races of Hyrule can(not) crossbreed with each other... I am a little sad that you didn't cover my favorite reference in the game: When King Daphnos fuses Tetra's Pendant and the part of the Triforce of Wisdom he had been holding onto the beginning of A Link to the Past's theme plays. Which I LOVE. Why? Just think about what happens in the scene. A literal Link to the Past is established and they play this theme in particular. That's amazing. Especially since the reference isn't that obvious to the japanese devs given the different title.

[@blue_pomeranian]

Seeing as how ruto and mipha have given link (or planned to give link) engage items, I would assume it is socially acceptable. The postman passing on genetics indicates it is biologically acceptable as well. Zora are mammals confirmed. Wait, lulu had baby zora eggs... The mystery thickens

[@twilightshadow91]

About the menu on Windfall Island: Maybe they either have a little stack of everything in the back of everything on the menu (that the Goron's bring in) or they don't have anything and they have put it on the menu to look interesting. The reason I think this because the prices are really high for these products (150 or 250 rupees is a lot of money). Or the prices are adjusted for inflation since OoT or MM ;-)

Saria is my favorite Zelda, OoT character. She is a Sage of Forest. So does Ruto, as of Sage of Water. They should appeared in Zelda: Wind Waker. Princess Ruto should replace Laruto and she teaches Link (along with Medli, the Sage of Earth), and Saria should replace Fado and she will also teaches Link (along with Makar, the Sage of Wind) two new melodies to gain access to two new dungeons in the later part of the game. Saria and Princess Ruto should appeared in Zelda: Breath of The Wild.

[@sakurai6176]

There is a big time gap between Ocarina of time and wind waker , so Saria and Ruto making an physical appearance in wind waker is impossible , same with breath of the wild , which is set in far future , So Saria and Ruto making an appearance in botw is also impossible , since there is also huge time gap between Ocarina of time and breath of the wild .

another other cool easter egg in the Gallery is how the Octorock Statue got new text in the HD version.

However, in the HD version, they were instead the "exemplary enemy" since they weren't present in Twilight Princess.

while not a reference to another Zelda title, I'd also like to point out that the Goddess statues also reference the Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin- their GameCube sibling

[@levie8269]

I miss pikmin

My favorite easter egg in Wind Waker is that in the original, the Octorok figurine says that they're the winners of the perfect attendance award. Which is a reference to the fact that at that point they'd appeared in every single Zelda game. Since this wasn't actually true anymore come the HD remake (Twilight Princess didn't use them, but did have a similar enemy) it was changed to 'Exemplary enemy' in WWHD.

I just wanted to tell you about a localisation oddity: the rito have always been called "orni" in the German versions of the games they've appeared in. To my knowledge, this word has no particular meaning. What's strange is that other names haven't changed, just adjusted to fit in grammatically; Gorons are called "Goronen", Hylians are "Hylianer", Zoras are still "Zoras", the Geruro are still "gerudo", etc. I don't know why they decided to rename the rito.

[@Onisasu]

Ohh that's so interesting! I wonder maybe orni is related to ornithology, the study of birds. Same root for the words for 'bird'? ^_^

10:30 thanks for that spoiler warning for link’s awakening, still need to finish that game

[@sectorzisnumbuhone]

.....I had no idea that you could repair the signs in OoT, MM and WW.... Wow. Great video as always. :)

[@swizzamane8775]

@2:58 he claims WW did it first xD

[@Btron4ever]

Theres also the reference to Pikmin in the game in the form of the statues that you place the pearls into. Din's statue being Red Pikmin sharing the nose, Nayru's statue being blue Pikmin sharing the mouth/gills, and Farore's statue being yellow Pikmin sharing the ears. Never realized that until just now...

[@KoopaKoot]

I thought you gonna mention the Ganon themes within Phantom Ganon's theme at the end. Good stuff. I always enjoy your content

[@casulal_m6900]

Hey Zeltik! I hope you're staying safe during the pandemic! I left a video suggestion on your website and I hope you'll give it a chance!

[@theadhdgamer7590]

You referenced so much in this video that I had no idea about! I am in awestruck bewilderment

[@Mr5how5topper]

My favorite thing of Wind waker is that the symbols on the three pearls are a call to Oracle of Ages tunes of Echos, Ages, and Currents.

[@reviandelumiel2833]

Woah! You're the best!! I didn't notice all these cool references you have mentioned when I was playing Wind Waker

[@GoldenMushroom64]

These Zeltik videos are the highlight of my Saturday every time!! 💕

[@Spartsou]

I actually didn't know that you can repair signs in the Wind Waker. You learn something new everyday!

[@DuskMindAbyss]

Honestly, you could easily make an entire video just from the trivia in the Nintendo Gallery; in fact, I would love it if you did!!

[@emilbitz7708]

All of the goddess statues found on the triangle isles are also references to the first 3 Pikmin colours. You can tell that by the different anatomy each statue has

[@adriarauz3795]

Dude I've been obsessed with your videos lately! Keep up the incredible work!
