Cameos

Has anyone noticed the mario mask on the happy mask man's mask sack in Majora's Mask? Mario also appears in a window if you throw a bomb in it in the castle where zelda is in Ocarina Of Time. Does anyone know of any other "guest appearences" In Zelda games?

Goombas and pirhana plants in Links Awakining, Mario painting in A Link to the past and mario 64 paintings in Oot.As well as bowser head pendends on all the ranchers. Also in Minish cap the red white spotted mushroom

One could argue that the ranch hands themselves resemble Mario and Luigi...

Hey thats a point i've never come accross before!, that's actually a very good theory. It's probably right aswell, good ol' nintendo.

Yeah, nintendo is famous for recycling old actors and using them over again. OOT runs on the Mario 64 engine, as does MM. I wouldn't be suprised if link was just a heavily modified mario.

I noticed a lot of Mario enemies in LA. Like Goombas, Pirannah Plants, the Chain Chomp... The list goes on!

When development first began on the Ocarina, the game ran on the Mario engine. They had to make so many alterations and whatnot that they wound up scrapping it for a new engine. I found that information from Zelda's Secret Ocarina but the URL evades me...

kirby is a enemy in the 7th dungeon of LA. A mario painting is also in links house in Alttp, I think...

Kinda like how they recycled Mario from Donkey Kong and then made a huge series out of it. I don't think they knew what a revolution that would have caused, because when Mario came out, it was "amazing".

OoT and MM dont run on the mario engine...it was originally intended to but nintendo had to make so many modifications that they ended up scrapping it for a new (very similar) engine

who hasnt noticed the mario mask.in the fmv sequence with the happy mask dude you see the mask in the middle of the screen....just sayin

In LA you can get a yoshi doll in the crane game. I think its the first item for a big trading sequence.

A related zelda/mario enemy is the bokobaba or the bokoblins of Ww and Oot closley resembling a pihrana plan

I played Mario 64, but what enemies are both in Zelda OOT and in Mario64?

Deku babas and Boko babas seem to be related to the pihran plants -this is an edit to the bokoblin mistake- Taron also looks like mario,Taron is in LA. The shyguys took place of goriyas in a link to the past. shy guys copied you in LA but did not shoot at you.

if you go into 1st person mode in the courtyard of the castle, you can see paintings of mario, luigi, yoshi and princess peach.

You know,topic creator,this has been discussed to death.I highly reccomend you dont make another topic like this,especialy considering how OL'D this information is.Just a suggestion.
