The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Logic

  • One wonders how there are people in Misery Mire, considering the only way to get in is via a portal that is only accessible by using the magic flute (and you're apparently the first person to have used the flute in some time, considering that the bird in Kakariko town square actually pops out of a sculpture when you play it). The story rules out the possibility that they were there before Ganon transformed the Golden Land into the Dark World, as he was apparently the first person to enter the region for an unspecified amount of time. Most likely there are other methods of entering that aren't represented by game mechanics and the MST3K Mantra should apply, but one wonders why Link would have had to go through all the trouble then.

Fridge Brilliance

  • As I played through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past I wondered to myself, why is it that even though it was stated that the properties of the Dark World cause those who enter it to shapeshift into something that reflects their true natures, Agahnim looked exactly the same as he did in the normal world? And then I finished the game and it hit me: Agahnim is basically nothing more than a host for Ganon's spirit, he has no soul of his own, and Ganon was already changed into his boar form.
