9 Video Games You Didn't Know Were Connected (Commenter's Edition)

One of the most important aspects of any video game is the setting and the world it takes place in. Ever since the era of 8-bit graphics they have been growing in size and been filled to the brim with detail.

And in those worlds, we can find little hints and Easter Eggs that tie them to another game.
