The three games are all connected by the appearance of horns on certain characters, which mark them as sharing the blood of a god.
* [[ICO (Video Game)|ICOIco]]: A boy with horns is imprisoned in an ancient castle. There he meets a girl who is also imprisoned there {{spoiler|by the evil Queen, her mother}}. The two attempt to escape from the castle.
* [[Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game)|Shadow of the Colossus]]: A young man goes on a journey to revive a girl. He must slay a series of giants called Colossi to do so. {{spoiler|Gets reborn as a horned boy in the end after fusing with the local god/devil}}.
* [[The Last Guardian (Video Game)|The Last Guardian]]: A little boy goes on a journey with a pet horned baby (colossus-like) gryphon and together they grow.

** Shadow of Colossus - A boy and his horse.
** The Last Guardian - A boy and his pet [[Up to Eleven|gigantic baby horned griffin colossus]].
* [[Death Byby Newbery Medal]] - From simply looking at the trailer for ''The Last Guardian'', some just get the impression that's it's hardly likely that both the kid and the baby griffin are going to survive the game.
** [[Penny Arcade|Tycho]] has [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/6/8/ already predicted that it won't happen].
** [[Zero Punctuation]] said that Trico was simply too cute to survive a Team Ico game.
