“The home of Malon, Talon, and of course Epona” *sad Ingo noises*

Not an easter egg from another game, but I noticed something humorous in Gerudo Town. In the romance school, there are male "dummies" used for practice (I'd assume). In one of the houses in town, you can find one propped up next to someone's bed.

I always though that the Star Crystal that (Skyward Sword) girl gives you, represent a gratitude crystal

[sch]

when you add together all of those easter eggs, all the details with enemies, npcs, everything around hyrule. no wonder why it took several years to develop this game. and it was worth it

[flowersanbones]

I haven’t seen anyone mention how the traveler’s sword is just the first sword you get in Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker

[Turo]

If you kill a duck while it's flying, it dies like the ducks in Duck Hunt.

Zeltik: "Home of Malon, Talon, and of course, Epona."
Ingo: "Am I a joke to you?"

[HyruleGamer]

I hope the milk in those bottles isn't from before the Calamity haha

[WarmLillie]

Zelda Botw has so many reference...

There is always a new one to be discovered

[SupRemE-enxp]

Last time i was this early, the champions were still alive.

[SilicatYT]

What if the Balloon Kid has one more Skyward Sword reference?
I think that the reward you get, a Star Fragment, symbolizes the Gratitude Crystals from Skyward Sword. They look similar and they are both rewards for making people happy.

[emiel]

Also the reward you get in the skyloft easter egg, the star fragment, looks quite similar to a gratitude crystal you would get in Skyward Sword for completing a side quest.

[CZsWorld]

OMG I did NOT catch the Zelda's Lullaby one. That's amazing.

[Toshkii]

When I made the barrel float for Shamae, after the cutscene the ballooned popped and it landed on top of her lmao rip

[BigGamingBossMan]

Breath of the Wild is truly a special game. I’ll always look back on it fondly.

The second I heard the music, I knew what was coming
Spirit Tracks has such a good soundtrack

[wilydettos]

The kid who gives you a star fragment not only gives a reference to skyward sword, but also gives a hint towards botw 2

[Soso_Doodles]

Shamae’s quest is so wholesome to me ! The fact that she gives a star fragment, which resemble the gratitude crystals from the Skyloft side quests is even more mind blowing !

[adamc]

On Eventide island you forgot the “wake the dreamer” reference. A big ol’ sleeping Hinox.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when Zeltik uploads.
