* [[The Game Come to Life]]: Deconstructed. All the usual aspects are there, with Neil taking the role of the hero character, and the quest being generally the same (Get Triforce! Defeat "GANNON"! Save Princess). However, Neil isn't as entranced by this notion as much as a kid would be, and often reacts to the general weirdness around him the way any normal person would: as a [[Deadpan Snarker]]. Also, the seedier underbelly of Hyrule, not explicitly referred to in the game, is emphasized by places like the "Money Making Game!" bar and Mirth's Pub. In addition, most of the characters are given much more characterization beyond what the capabilities of the NES could express. The Old Man with the sword is a jerk, the Moblins are a bunch of drunk fratboys, Ganon is a "mental invalid", etc.
