Zelda References in Every Mario Game

Hey guys with the release of Tear of the Kingdom I thought it would be interesting to create a few Zelda themed videos, beginning here with all references to Hyrule Kingdom in every single Mario game.

[@michaelclaughton3509]

You forgot super Mario maker and super Mario maker 2 where they have link costumes in them

[@shane7051]

Oh shut up

[@chrisquint3656]

He only does mainline games. Maker isn’t mainline🤷🏻‍♂️. Otherwise Mario kart 8 would be here

[@Mobtrapper-hq8is]

Something you forgot is the texture for the hard blocks (as they’re called in SMM2) in SMB1 underground levels is also used in dungeons in The Legend of Zelda 1 NES

[@Jopo1226]

In SMB2 Birdo's egg spitting sound is the same as the wand shot/wizzrobe magic sound.

[@huefelix556]

3:09 For the 3DS

[@JaxTheEpic]

at the end of donkey kong country 2 where cranky shows video game heros link is there

[@DanHoger]

Totally missed out on mentioning Link actually appearing in Super Mario RPG. If you mentioned all the Wario Ware games, which aren't even Mario games, could have also mentioned Super Mario RPG.

[@MariuigiKhed]

Now, I know we are just seeing the mainstream games... but since the Zelda references aren't THAT much, I would have covered the rest (like Link in at Rose Inn in SMRPG). Also, in SMO, Link was supposed to be a costume, but was scrapped, the SM3DW one you forgot to add that the main theme can be heard after you complete the Link puzzle or that the Ocean theme, in SMB3 is the Fairy Fountain theme.

[@scmtuk3662]

You mentioned the 8-bit Link and Fanfare in Super Mario 3D World, but didn't mention that the tune that plays _after_ that, is the overworld theme from The Legend of Zelda.

[@justinpruitt1293]

Notice the Flute in Super Mario Bros 3 NES and The prologue screen to link riding the horse in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time has the same sound but LOZ ocarina of time builds more to the chime to make it music.

[@fatalwaffle1715]

Awesome Video Bro!

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

I’m a Zelda fan good vid

[@ImmortalAbsol]

If the Uncle Amiibo thing counts then Amiibo costumes in Mario Maker 1 count too, and on the topic of Mario Maker the second one has the Link power-up.

[@A_chocolate_bar_review_channel]

A Chocolate Bar Review Channel here and I surely do approve.

[@RyneMcKinney]

Warioware gold is a 3DS game

[@Eligames2009]

in super mario odyssey there was a scrapped link costume.

[@SuperEliasboi64]

8:14 the thing is, is that aren’t there 8bit links hidden in the kingdoms, cuz I swear seeing them during my play throughs

[@lethalsword628]

There were 8-bit mario characters but I don't think any links

[@NeonSonOfXenon]

Il Pianissimo feels like a bit of a reach. I'd need more direct confirmation to believe that

[@thescallyswag]

It’s not explained in the video, but under his mask he has the same face as the running man from OoT and MM. I think that’s what he’s getting at.

[@AS34N]

You forgot the part about mario 2 in america actually being a sprite swap of doki doki panic 😂

[@humbertox]

And the fact that NSMB2 is actually the third game in the series

[@aspieatheist6040]

How about finding the sleeping Link in Super Mario RPG?

[@Starlight_235]

warioware gold was on the 3ds

[@Obama_]

Beans

[@CalebthegiganticMariofan]

In Super Mario RPG there’s a cool one

[@el-medo6529]

You forgot the master sword powerup in mario maker 2

[@trambello9211]

Wario Ware gold is for the 3ds not the Wii u

[@justinthyme5263]

I did enjoy this one :)

[@Dac_vak]

WarioWare Gold on the Wii U? Thought that was a 3DS game.

[@SonyaBladesBooty]

So where is the Zelda reference in Super Mario Bros 1? That's what I thought.... there isn't one

[@TheArachneShowOfficial]

Your telling me, Mario 64s(released in 1996) painting below the 50 star door stars, are in the exact same position as the notes you use in song of storms from Ocarina of Time(released in 1998)? 4:09

[@youraveragedeku]

the il piantisamo (idk if i spelled that right) is a reference to ravio

[@jacobnowlin3813]

I didn’t see anything on link in Mario rpg

[@sethg1338]

Who knew there were that many wario games

[@damiencouturee6240]

4:13 that sure looks like Navi to me, maybe it is a reference

[@UltraZapdos]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the “L is Real” text in Mario 64 also in a Zelda title?

[@christiansapienza9832]

Correct it’s in dodongos cavern in OOT

[@thescallyswag]

SM64 came out before OoT. We all thought the L referred to Luigi, but it was actually about Link. SM64’s “L is Real” was foreshadowing Link’s future appearance on the N64. This is definitely, totally, unarguably true.

[@fatmario8244]

5:48 I found this :)

[@SusiTerry]

warioware gold was on 3ds

[@AlexB-W33gee]

Ah, wario ware gold, my favorite game on the Wii U

[@TheArachneShowOfficial]

He actually said it was on the Wii U?

[@AlexB-W33gee]

@@TheArachneShowOfficial yes

[@yanisel]

Homicide in every Mario game including the rpg why ? Think

[@TheArachneShowOfficial]

Wait

[@youraveragedeku]

dude

[@Bwepo_fish]

Blub

[@doof7448]

first but its actually true

[@TheArachneShowOfficial]

6:49 holy crap he actually got a fact completely correct

[@MegaZeta]

I admire the pure huckster cynicism it took to get the "whistle" story right in this video, then release a video right after it where you pretend you don't know where that sound comes from, just for KZbin "engagement" numbers. Completely shameless. I'm guessing it's because this video did such a poor job in terms of comments.

Copycat, WarioWare Gold is not in the Wii U, is in the Nintendo 3ds
