While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The Zelda and Mario franchises secretly have a really cool history of crossovers! But it’s strangely not the only Zelda game with Mario references in it! The N64’s classic, beloved Ocarina of Time has a some framed portraits of famous Mushroom Kingdom characters hanging for any players peering through the windows of Zelda’s courtyard in Hyrule Castle and the Happy Mask Salesman straight up has a freaky looking Mario mask tucked amongst his collection of disguises in Majora's Mask. Head on over to our wiki guide page with the full list of Link’s Awakening Nintendo references to learn even more! Link’s Awakening is a weird, wonderful game. There are a LOT of Mario references in this game. Oh, and there’s a character named Tarin who looks suspiciously like Super Mario, plus a literal Yoshi doll in the main town’s crane machine game store that a character asks you to procure by name. The game also has Goombas, Piranha Plants, and Thwomps to contend with in its odd subterranean sidescrolling sections, evil Anti-Kirby enemies that try to inhale Link to death in its towery temple, and giant frog guy that’s totally evocative of Wart from Super Mario 2.

Or maybe they just become friendly once they leave a Mario game and spend some time on a nice island. Upon his return, MeowMeow lets you keep BowWow as a pet for a little while where he follows you around the open world, snapping at things, eating baddies, and most importantly, devouring the strange lotus flowers that grow around the swamp, allowing Link to gain passage to the game’s second temple. At one point in the story, BowWow gets kidnapped by local Moblin thugs and Link has to rescue the weird ball-shaped tooth dog from their lair. She lives alone and has a guest bedroom connected to her house where the Chomps sleep at night, but BowWow can most prominently be seen outside of the house barking and snapping at any passersby (namely Link) while chained to a post. She’s the aggressively chompy pet of a local woman named Madam MeowMeow a who lives in the center of Awakening’s main town and owns a trio of Chain Chomps, two small and one large one. Play Wait, what? So, this specific Chain Chomp is named BowWow. ![]()
