Ports & Remakes
Available to play in:
The workers on Lon Lon Ranch, Talon and Ingo, are based on Mario and Luigi, heroes of the Mario series. The colours of Ingo's overalls seem to be based on Luigi's overalls from Super Mario Bros. Talon's daughter, Malon, also seems to resemble Princess Peach in some ways, such as her hairstyle.
If you look closely at Malon and Talon, you can see that they are wearing brooches featuring the face of Bowser, the villain from the Mario series.
When you enter Hyrule Castle's garden, look through the windows on the right-hand side and you can see pictures of characters from the Mario series: Mario, Yoshi, Peach and Bowser.
The first mask you receive in young Link's trading line is the Keaton Mask. This yellow mask with pointed ears is said to be popular with children in Hyrule. The Keaton Mask appears to be a reference to Pikachu in the Pokémon series.
When you finally meet Keaton in Majora's Mask, it appears as a ghost fox (kitsune), which was the inspiration for the Pokémon Vulpix and Ninetales.
Eternal Star Sign from Super Mario 64
In Dodongo's Cavern, climb up to the second floor and look out over the main entrance. There is a sign here written on a stone tablet rather than a wooden signpost.
This tablet was first seen under the star-shaped fountain in Peach's garden in Super Mario 64, reading "Eternal Star". However, due to the low quality of textures on the Nintendo 64, the sign became the subject of rumours that it actually read "L is Real Star 2041" and was part of a method to unlock Luigi.
The Stone of Agony is shaped like the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak. Once you have it, you can detect nearby secret holes in the ground if you have a Rumble Pak connected.
Beta Arwing From Star Fox
While not available through normal gameplay, one of the enemies that was programmed into the game is an Arwing, one of the fighter planes from the Star Fox series. It has so far only been unlocked using a Game Shark code.
The Arwing flies around shooting lasers at Link. If hit with a weapon, it spins around and crashes into the ground, causing a damaging explosion.
