6. I AM ERROR. The Legend Of Zelda 2: Link's Awakening
Easily one of the more bizarre moments from a video game, The Legend Of Zelda 2: Links Awakening features a man who will introduce himself to Link with the immortal quote: I AM ERROR. This dialogue was originally seen as an error (pun intended) in the games programming but translations from the Japanese version of the game prove that Error is actually called Error. Even stranger; Error is actually a semi-important character in Links Adventure. After meeting Error, Link is later advised to return to him by a man called Bagu (Bagu is how the word bug would be spelt in romanised Japanese, fact fans) as Error apparently knows a secret path into the isolated Island Palace. Thankfully, Bagu isnt making any errors (yes, we're sorry) and our old friend Error tells Link of the hidden route into the Palace. Still, hell forever be known as the guy that famously announced his bizarre name in dramatic capitals and thats why we love him. Some questions still need answering though. Does Error loudly announce himself to everyone who enters his home? Is he set to star in his own spin-off game? Also, what were his parents thinking?
