Line 76:
** The loading screens are taken from ''Castlevania'', ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'', ''Final Fantasy'', and several others.
** ''The Legend of Zelda'': the plot, puzzles, enemies, weapons... Everything. Even the Cuccoos. Not to mention the quotes. It's dangerous to go alone! Take this! It's a secret to everybody!
** ''Metroid'': one of the [[NPC|NPCs]]s mentions that you can't use the apples to do bomb jumps.
** ''Final Fantasy'': Lake Garland, which is near Colneria Village. Also, "Pam nepo ot 1L sserp!". And there's an inventor named [[Sdrawkcab Name|Dic]] The title screen music is extremely similar to the ''Final Fantasy'' Crystal Theme. A version of Minwu from ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' sacrifices himself to get you the Ultima Book. The player sees a recreation of the scene in ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' where Josef saves Firion, Maria and Guy from a boulder; in ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'', it killed him, but the hero can destroy the boulder to save Josef.
** ''Metal Gear'': a pre-dungeon message from Little (Big) Boss warning the player to beware of pit traps is word-for-word from the NES game.
Line 85:
*** ''Dragon Quest II'': people turned back from animals thanks to a Mirror of Truth.
*** ''Dragon Quest III'': there's a town named Ortego (after "Ortega" the name of your father in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''), and a cave with an old man who asks you if you want to change your job (but doesn't let you here).
*** ''Dragon Quest IV'': a slime in Raejack wants to become human someday, and achieves it. One of the random [[NPC|NPCs]]s in Raejack is clearly intended to be Nara/Meena/Minea from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. She's a fortune-teller with an irresponsible sister, who's looking for a hero that's not you, but still detects a great light within you. A later sidequest outright confirms it, as her irresponsible sister turns out to be a dancer named Mary, while she's Mina. A merchant Tirenco (Torneko Taloon) looks for legendary armor. You'll even find a princess Alena on her way to a fighting championship accompanied by her tutor Brey and the priest Cristo... the princess later searches for a cure for her Cristo's illness. The hero has dream sequences about "Rosy", an elf whose tears are gems and who is bullied by humans for that reason and "Pizzaro", who vows to destroy all humans because of this.
*** ''Dragon Quest V'': an [[NPC]] has to choose between marrying a rich girl or his childhood friend... for bonus points, his reasoning for each is lifted from ''[[Lucky Star]]'': He actually likes the childhood friend, but he thinks the rich girl has a better spell list, which is exactly what Konata said about each.
*** Also, the Heroine playable character.
Line 99:
** ''Demon's Souls'': an entire cave which includes: Sticky White Stuff; examining a certain corpse will get you a Hero's Soul; a nearby [[NPC]] will chide you by saying, "Come on guys, this game isn't THAT hard...". There's even a readable message that you can recommend, which makes someone, somewhere regain their health.
*** Also, "I've got this Demons game, wanna trade? It's too hard!".
** ''[[Armored Core]]'': multiple [[NPC|NPCs]]s mention how cool it'd be to have a 3D mech game. Also, W. Glint.
** Next to the dead body in the first room of the Flame Temple is some writing lamenting how he accidentally wrote his own name in the "[[Death Note|Satori Note]]". Oddly enough, "satori" is Japanese for "enlightenment"... so he's lamenting the fact that he's going to become enlightened.
* [[Spin Attack]]: While pressing the X button to thrust your sword out, you can press a different direction to swing your sword in that direction and (terrain permitting) hit enemies in a wider area.
Line 109:
* [[Video Game Settings]]: Everything from <s>Octorok</s> Octon-infested rivers to mummified golems in the desert dungeon.
* [[Video Game Tools]]: Boomerang, Bow and Arrow, Shield, <s>Hookshot</s> Wire Rod, Candle, Lantern, etc.
* [[Welcome to Corneria]]: Nearly all of the [[NPC|NPCs]]s have fixed dialogue that doesn't change much as you progress through your quest. As a bonus, the name of the kingdom ''is'' Colneria.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|What Do You Mean, This Game Is Not]] [[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|Zelda?!]]: Ironically, reviewers and many people think this game is a rip-off of classic ''Zelda'', when the game actually makes [[Homage]] to them.
* [[A Winner Is You]]: One of the Sages says this after the final battle.
