Daily Easter Egg #12: Mario Paintings in Ocarina of Time

The Royal Family must vacation in the Mushroom Kingdom

When you meet Princess Zelda for the first time in Ocarina of Time, paintings of characters from the Mushroom Kingdom can be seen through some of the windows in the courtyard! Paintings of Mario, Yoshi, Peach, and Bowser can be seen hanging on the wall if you play around with the camera enough.

This easter egg also translated into the version for the 3DS. Instead of individual paintings on the wall, there is now a scene from New Super Mario Bros.

Daily Easter Egg #7: Super Mario RPG Nintendo Character Cameos

Link, the Hero of Hyrule taking a well deserved nap

In the 1996 SNES game Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars, two notable Nintendo characters make an appearance. Everyone's favorite sword swinging, no pants wearing hero can be seen sleeping in the Rose Town Inn. After playing with Gaz, the player gets the chance to stay at the inn for free. The next morning, Link can be seen taking a snooze in one of the beds.
The next Nintendo character that makes an appearance is none other than Samus Aran—and she appears twice! Between the Star Hill and Nimbus levels, Samus can be seen sleeping in the castle's guest room in the Mushroom Kingdom. The next time Samus makes an appearance is in the final room of Bowser's Tower. A box of dolls can be seen on the floor, and there is indeed a Samus doll in the box!

This game is full of many other secrets as well. I'll eventually post them all so stay tuned!
