'I AM ERROR' - strange characters in Adventure of Link! #zelda #nintendo #shorts

Who is Error, and why is he called that?

[rpgrage]

I still love that in the zelda universe therse someone canonically error

[teamdoghouse]

I will never forget how my mom used to think Link's sword looked like a chicken leg at certain times in Zelda 2.

I'm playing this now.
It's agony.
And yet, I enjoy it a little bit.

I will always love how long it took for this to actually be common knowledge. I remember days in the early internet when so many videos talked about "I am Error" and saying it was some sort of game bug, with all sorts of speculation on what he was supposed to say. Then eventually a few videos mentioned rumours claiming that Error is actually intentional, the problem is that Bagu should have been translated as Bug to make a joke, but so many people insisted that was just a dumb theory and didn't really think much on it. And finally people realized "oh, wait, no, that makes perfect sense" and the Japanese version became more easily visible online with people easily able to confirm it with things like Google translate.

Oh how times change.

I also love the fact that the game "the binding of isaac", where the floors are supposed to reassemble the style of the first Zelda dungeons, has a room called "I AM ERROR" which can only be accessed by using specific items, clipping through the walls in a crawlspace or leaving the floors boundaries which can be done with the item "red key". The room itself has a glitching floor texture and different layouts on each floor. I don't know if the room was created to hint at the "I AM ERROR" character, but it's still pretty nice.

Early internet always amuses me with the misinformation they fixate on. I remember people complaining about how broken this game is and how they left in this Error text, but they left out the context that there is literally an NPC that tells you to talk to Error by name.

[Kerballistic]

Woah I did not know the names ocarina of time characters after things from Zelda ii

[LinkofHyrule]

AVGN: "Or maybe it's pronounced EE-ROAR".

[wayfarer]

This game is so underrated. I really like it!

[dodsa]

This is the type stuff Michael from Vsauce would make a short on and then end it with a life changing reflexion lmao

[AdfasSSBM]

it might have worked if the names were anerror and abug so someone might get the joke while it doesn't look like a problem with the game

[TurdFerg]

Love this game wish they would remake it

[calebklauzer]

These shorts are great. Also, I love this story no matter how many times I hear it. Just another thing for my older brother to have been wrong about lol

[Flwer]

I clicked on this because I thought it was about the Vocaloid song Bug 😭😭😭

[MangoGoesOwO]

no joke was playing adventure of link YESTERDAY and met him and was wondering about his name. this appears on my home page today. so wild.

[yomama]

i'll never forget how much I hated that people made fun of error as if it was ever such a wacky thing to begin with.

[GigalassII]

Bagu just has a Bagu'd name that's all

[MysteryOfTheShockwave]

It's not the a sound from baguette. It's like an ah of enlightenment ("Ah, that makes sense"), not fear ("Ah! A bug!").

[clemente]

And maybe it's all because the first game was supposed to be sci-fi instead of medieval to begin with, and Link's name to be in reference of hyperlinks

[YouVSMeTV]

So bagu is a translation glitch and error is actually correct. Sensational.
