So, I was reading the legendary Cloudbush thread, and came across this. The second part, not the part about the Triforce. Seems really random for a cameo, but it does seem to check out. The question, of course, becomes why? |

Interesting. Maybe it's some kind of Japanese cultural reference though. For some reason, although it probably isn't true, they remind me of the Dogū. ( and some people believe the Dogū to be ancient aliens) |

Huh. They match up colour-wise, too. Din = red, Nayru = blue, and Farore = ...green, but yellow's the closest match Pikmin has.

I thought it was a reference to the see no evil stuff but now I realize I'm totally off, still it does seem like more of a cultural reference than anything. Of course, I don't know anything about Japan so I can't say anything.  |

Given the time the game was made and the studio that made it, it does seem a likely reference to Pikmin to me. If it is a cultural thing, it's not one I've ever heard of.

Anyone know a lot about obscure Japanese culture? NocturnalYL? You own a lot of Japanese products right? Know anything about this?

You know, it's such an odd cameo I didn't even think to look. Sorry 'bout that!
And to those asking, the Farore statue actually has yellow eyes instead of green. That's what solidifies it for me.
