10 Things You Never Knew About Zelda: Twilight Princess

10. Twilight Princess Had Ridiculous Rumours

When any news outlet makes the mildest reference to a new Legend of Zelda games, the rumour mill comes in full-swing. One report suggested that Ganondorf was absent from the game and Link would battle a dark army called The Horde. It was also rumoured the game would be called Legacy of Link or A Link to the Darkness.

Now, falsehoods such as these are nothing more than harmless speculation. But some of the rumours were nothing short of absurd. Rapper 50 Cent was said to be providing the voice of Epona (which is weird since she is, y'know, a horse). The president of Nintendo of America at the time, Reggie Fils-Aime, was slated for voicing a mysterious character called The Man. Probably the weirdest rumour was that the fitness guru, Richard Simmons, was supposably voicing the fairy-wannabe, Tingle. (Also, what happened to Richard Simmons? Seriously.)

Obviously, any rational person naturally dismissed these rumours as baseless lies. However, others thought there might be some truth to it since 50 Cent, Fils-Aime, and Simmons were credited for Twilight Princess on IMDb, which is considered a very reliable source of information. Obviously, these rumours were inevitably proven to be utter nonsense.
