zelda in kid icarus

Kid Icarus Uprising was recently released and with it came several cool Easter Eggs. Nintendo games always seem to reference one another in some form or another and this one is no different. In Kid Icarus Uprising there are 2 different Zelda references that have been spotted so far.

The first reference is the chime that is played when solving a puzzle in the Wish Seed Level. After completing a puzzle the chime that plays is similar to the puzzle solving chime from the Zelda series.

The second, and most glaring reference is to Navi of Ocarina of Time. The Fairy Orbitars idol description states, “Tired of pixies asking you to listen?” This is of course referencing the famous and vastly annoying “hey, look, listen” alerts of Navi.

Have you spotted any other Zelda references in Kid Icarus? If so let us know in the comments.

    Some of the triangular Aurum enemies look like the Triforce in silver when you look at their green areas.

    The boss that you fight before entering Medusa's castle in chapter 9 appears to have Triforce symbols on it.

    I'm pretty sure a lot of video games have chimes that go off when you solve a puzzle, even if it is a Zelda trope. The Triforce on the Underworld Gatekeeper and the Aurum enemies seem to be coincidental, too.

    The Fairy Orbitars idol is definitely a reference to Navi, though.
