10 Best Video Game Easter Eggs, Secrets & References Of 2017 (So Far)

7. Breath Of The Wild's Map Markers Translate To "It's Dangerous To Go Alone"

Playing through the new Legend of Zelda is a damn-near magical experience, one filled with depth, charm, and endlessly memorable moments that no two players will experience the exact same.

Part of getting lost in Nintendo's refined vision of Hyrule is the Sheikah language you see scrawled on various underground shrines, and one genius fan actually managed to translate the whole thing, Tolkien-elvish style. Using this, it's possible to add a whole new layer of meaning to everything from the scripture of the shrines themselves, to the artefacts inside each Tech Lab, and even the onscreen map markers themselves.

Place one down after hitting R3 and you'll see a shaft of light denoting its position - assumedly just so you can spy your markers from afar.

However, if you translate the symbols, it'll produce the line, "It's dangerous to go alone"; the very first thing said to you by The Old Man in the original The Legend of Zelda from 1986. There's another 'Old Man' in Breath of the Wild, though he's later revealed to be King Rhoam, but is clearly inspired by/directly based on the same old fella that hands Link his sword in that same game.
