    Lightbulb A little-known link between SMB3 and Zelda...

    Yes, I have found a strange link between Super Mario Bros. 3 (for NES) and Zelda 1.
    Now when you get the magic whistle on Mario Bros. 3, and you play it, if I'm not mistaken it plays the same tune as the whistle in Zelda! Figger that!

    Yup. They look alike too. However, the whistle in Zelda is called a Recorder.

    You just realized this?

    Wow...I also recently discovered the Recorder noise in Legend of ZELDA, the magic whistle noise in Super Mario Bros 3, and one of the intruments in the intro theme to Ocarina of Time all have the same sound!

    Yeah, that isn't new. I've known about that since Super Mario Bros. 3 first came out for the NES and I found the Warp Whistles (or rather got the warp whistles aftering looking it up). It even has a little Tornado/whirlwind take Mario away. If you've played Super Smash Bros. you might remember there was a tornado on the Hyrule Castle stage.

    And SMB3 and A Link to the Past share the Chain Chomp enemy. (This was a recent question in the MPQ Game.)

    In Super Mario RPG, Link can be found asleep in Rose Town at one point in the game.

    I've heard that the mario games take place on the same planet in the same universe as Zelda, at the same time as ALttP. No clue if thats true or intended, but hell, who knows.

    As did Link's Awakening. It is called a "Chain-Omp".

    Their story lines are pretty much the same as well.

    Mario:princess peach (toadstool)gets captured, go through worlds in a certain order to, fight big ugly boss,rescue princess.

    Link:princess zelda is in some way incapacitated, link goes through dungeons in a certain order, fight big ugly boss, save princess.

    I'm sure everyone has notiiced this by now, and if they didn't they know now.
