Hyrule's Most Wanted Criminal #zelda #shorts #nintendo

Twilight Princess' Hidden Village features multiple posters of a wanted outlaw... with a quite ridiculous bounty.

[lonestarr]

So that's what Tingle looks like out of his suit.

[thebatmary]

He walked out without giving Agatha all his bugs

[Karalora]

The royal family offers this truly absurd reward, safe in the knowledge that no one actually owns a wallet big enough to collect

[ragnell]

In other words, the Royale family would sell the kingdom just to get this man.

1 QUADRILLION? What In the name of hylia did this man do lol

[sirhenrymorgan]

It's Guy Fawkes! He survived his execution, was transported to Hyrule, and tried to blow up Hyrule Castle!

[arc]

It seems the man depicted in the poster may have tried to blow up Hyrule Castle.

So here's some food for thought: Twilight Princess actually has a lot of subtle references to A Link to the Past, some are pretty overt like Ganondorf quoting to Zant the dialog the Triforce gives to Ganondorf in the instruction manual: "if there's anything you desire, I will desire it too." Others requires attention to detail, like the statues of the Goddesses in the throne room with the enlongated strips extending from the mouths of the statues, referencing the illustration of the Goddesses in A Link to the Past's manual, with the picture depicting them blowing wind (long strips of air) to foster the act of creation.

I suspect this wanted poster is also a call-back to A Link to the Past. According to one of the keepers of Sahasrahla's house in Kakariko Village, his house was said to have been the hideout for a gang of thieves who's leader was named Blind. There's also an npc in Kakariko Villageーthe precursor character to the "Shady Guy" from A Link Between Worldsーwearing what seems like a spaghetti western-hat in the early moments of the game. He can only be caught when Link has the Pegasus Boots equipped and then comments that Link's speed would have made it convenient for him to kidnap Zelda at the height of when Link was being framed for abduction; seeing how this npc was the precursor to the Shady Guy, the npc that stole Queen Oren's smooth gem from A Link Between Worlds, its safe to say this npc was also a thief.

With that train of thought, this wanted poster could potentially be a reference to both Blind, the running man, or just the thieves in general from A Link to the Past.

Find someone who wants you as much as the Royal Family wants this guy.

[MattRevs]

1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 rupees seems like the devs were having too much fun...

[hintonempire]

It doesn't say "rupees". It might be Hyrule gold coins instead. You can find these in Jovani's house.

[kakarikokage]

Imagine if this was Misko, the bandit.

[moonrisestudiosco]

He's higher on the Hyrule's most wanted list than Ganondorf.

[SuperLucky]

Hyrule's royal family offering so much money as a reward knowing anyone that manages to turn in the outlaw would have to return the entire reward due to not fitting in their wallet.

[IAmEvilTree]

Given that rupees can be found just by mowing grass in this universe, it's no wonder Hyrule's rate of inflation is out of control.

[lancelottlebits]

This is just what the guy that runs the star mini game in Castle Town (obviously secretly Tingle) looked like before he shaved and changed his outfit design to hide in plain sight!

[MrSpookersMcGeeThest]

Inflation has not been kind to the Hyrulian economy…

[justinmccafferty]

Looks like Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday from Tombstone. Could very easily be a reference given the Western vibe in that town.

[mahna]

love to see someone find as much joy in taking apart every detail of a game

[rhea]

He looks kinda like that cashier at the rich people store in the city. You know the guy
