Cameos in World of Warcraft

[Smashchu]

For those of you who dont know thjis is a popular MMO here in the states and has 2 nintendo cameos

Mario Cameo
Maria and lugii found in Un' Goro Crater (lvl 52+) found to the east od Fire Plum Ridge (Maria is a drawf with red overals and Lugii is a human with Green overalls)

Linken
Chain quest started in Un' Goro Cratter (lvl 52+) quest name "Its Dangerous to go alone" it is a chain so its not shareable among the world of warcraft. The rewards are "Linkens Boomerang" and "Linkens Sword of Mastery."

Thats them. By brother is the one that provided this trhough. There were 2 more Zelda cameos we forgot(to get the 2 weapons you give an item, reference to the triforce) and another quest with a Zelda reference.
Well enjoy.

TMK has details on the Mario cameos.

Funny how quite a lot of games these days (especially ones NOT on Nintendo consoles) are squeezing in little cameos and references to their favourite Nintendo games.

Maybe secretly every developer wants Nintendo to pick them as a second party

More like everyone wants a computer license to Nintendo games. I can imagine..."Super Mario World ©1993 Interplay Licensed by Nintendo"! Brilliant!

Accually I dont know the name of the Item to get the sword, but it looks like a peice of the Triforce.

I think I found a cameo you may have missed. In Ogrimmar, there's an NPC Tauren named Gamon. Could it be a reference to Ganon? Similar name, similar appearance...

This is going out on a limp, but I think it's possible that Gamon in a reference to the Gannon-Ban. If you don't know what a Gannon-Ban is, click below:

The reason I think it might be based on that is because this NPC just sits around, and anyone can attack him, Horde or Alliance. He doesn't even fight back. He just dies. Just like what people want to do to people who misspell Ganon.

Also, Gamon looks similar to Gannon. I'll get pictures ASAP. In the meantime, any thoughts?
