10. The Chris Houlihan Room - Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
For many people, having their name in a game is a lifelong goal. It can lead to working tirelessly for a job, or - more painfully - holding on to a job that isn't right for them in order to ensure that their name is attached to the finished project. In short, it's a big deal, that can often require an almost unsettling amount of sacrifice.
Unless, of course, you're Chris Houlihan. Because after winning a content in Nintendo Power, a small secret room in A Link to The Past was named after Chris, complete with a small plaque attesting to this.
And secret it has remained for many who've played it - even those who've been through the game countless times.
It's hidden away incredibly well, to the point that most players who find it by accident tend to only do so because the game will spawn you there if, for whatever reason, it can't seem to load the area you need. Which means you're actually better off breaking the game to try and find the room, even if you already know about it.
