This is a section in which I have recorded strange occurences dealing with the Legend of Zelda series and its background. Email any of your own submissions to The King of Hyrule.

Did you know that the idea for the title of the series came from creator Shigeru Miyamoto's fondness of F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife's name, Zelda?

Did you know that the symbol of the Triforce, not new to the first Japanese players of the original game, most likely came from the family crest of the old Hojo Samurai clan in Japan?

Did you know that two characters in Link's Awakening look strangely like Mario and Princess Peach (Marin and Tarin)?

Did you know Ganon was originally spelled Gannon?

Did you know that the Maku Tree in Oracle of Seasons is one of the descendents of the Deku Tree?

Did you know all of the maps of the dungeons in the first game formed a picture coinciding with the dungeon's name (Eagle, Moon , Dragon, etc.) and that the first five levels of the Second-Quest play through spelled out the word ZELDA?

Did you know that the famed Ocarina did not first make its debut in Ocarina of Time, but on the Game Boy game Link's Awakening?

Did you know that the names of the sages in Ocarina of Time were based on all of the towns in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link?

Did you know that there was a secret room in A Link to the Past made to honor a Nintendo Power contest winner named Chris Houlihan, and can be found by completing a series of dashes in a certain time limit?

Did you know that, ever since A Link to the Past, whenever you hit the chickens with your sword, it releases all of the chickens' feathered fury? Update: every game except Twilight Princess.

Did you know that Link is left-handed in every game, but the Wii version of Twilight Princess? This is because the majority of the people of the world are right-handed, and though Shigeru Miyamoto has always thought of Link as left-handed, he saw that it would be wierd to swing your right-hand and have Link swing his left. However, traditionally, Link is left-handed.

Did you know that in the Nintendo game Animal Crossing, the signs in the museum are written in Hyrulian writing?

Did you know that in Twilight Princess, the dark cloak that Princess Zelda was wearing is similar to the garments worn to Japanese funerals?

Did you know that the "evil one" in each story, can only be a man? It can never be a woman! For proof, visit the Great Cataclysm page and read the second verse from the Book of Mudora on the page.

Did you know that Ooccoo's name comes from the color of Link's tunic in The Legend of Zelda for the NES? His tunic's color's Hexidecimal value was 00CC00.

Did you know that Beth in Twilight Princess was named after Beth, a poe boss in Ocarina of Time? (submitted by PrincessZelda363)

Did you know that the Providences in Twilight Princess has the same named as the goddesses? (i.e. Lanayru, Eldin, Faron and Ordona) (submitted by PrincessZelda363)

Did you know that you can only steal from shops in two Zelda games? On Link's Awakening you can steal from the shop in Mabe Village. In Twilight Princess you can steal from the bird's shop near the forest temple. (submitted by Riley Medora)

Did you know that the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was the first video game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 from Famitsu? (submitted by Riley Medora)
