perculia
We're continuing our series of pop culture reference posts with a look at NPCs and quests that are clever references to games and music! In past weekends, we've covered items, achievements, and player tributes.
Did you know that many Operation Shieldwall and Dominance Offensive dailies are references to Queen songs? Or that Archmage Vargoth quotes "Hotel California"? Perhaps you're nostalgic for the long
Legend of Zelda
questline removed in Cataclysm, but are happy Mario and Luigi are safe in Un'Goro--unlike Dadanga.
We'll be doing another post on NPCs and Quests soon covering other topics like books, movies, and TV shows.
Check out our past guides in the series:

A quest series in
Sierra Espolón
references inhabitants of

Clarissa whispers: Hooray, Mr. D! You're back! Do you remember how to shoot all your guns? Why don't you take a minute to learn how to fight again! Just in case.
Clarissa whispers: Hurt 'em some more! MORE!
Clarissa whispers: Make 'em sorry for hurting you, Mr. D!
Clarissa whispers: YAY!
Anderov Ryon
shouts out modified quotes from
Andrew Ryan
, Rapture's founder.
Fools! Simpletons! Look at you milling about, oblivious to the coming of the end!
Allow me to ask a simple question: Is a man allowed - entitled even - the sweat of his brow?
"No," says the orc in Orgrimmar, "it belongs to the Horde!"
"No," says the human in Stormwind, "it belongs to Alliance!"
I knew a man once that rejected those answers! A man that chose the impossible!
That man was Genn Greymane and that impossible choice was Gilneas!
Oh Gilneas, I miss you so!

Zelda

Los protectores de Hyjal
. He wears his usual green outfit and has sayings such as "You have my sword," "Excuuuse me, princess!" and "Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat a fire elemental!" He also rides a
Caballo marrón
that looks similar to Epona.
The former Un'Goro questline was filled with references to the Zelda series (most notably
Legend of Zelda
), which we also cover in our items guides. Here's a full look at the quest series.
Un secreto bien guardado
: The destroyed raft and Linken's lack of memory is reminiscent of the start of
Link's Awakening
. The name of the quest is what the
Secret Moblin
says to Link, who hides in various caves in Hyrule and keeps his friendly nature secret from the other Moblins.
Un secreto bien guardado
: You must retrieve items inside a satchel that resembles a
bomb bag
. This contains key items important to every Zelda dungeon--a
compass
,
map
, and
key
. The compass always points to the center of Un'Goro, which is reminiscent of how the compass helps you find bosses in Zelda dungeons. Also included is
Fotografía descolorida
, which shows Link and Zelda as gnomes outside of Stormwind/Hyrule.
Un secreto bien guardado
: After finding Link, he needs to upgrade his sword--a key component of any Zelda game. Donova strengthens his sword by throwing it in a magical hotspring, which is similar to how weapons are upgraded in

and drop it to distract
Miblon Gruñediente
to obtain the

even looks like ham and the vendor says "Buy somethin', will ya?" which is what the

La Espada de Linken
.

and
Recuerdos de Linken
: The glowing crystal cave is similar to being surrounded by lots of shiny rupees.
Corazón de plata
: This quest sends you to collect
Garras de plata
and
Corazón de Troncoferro
in order to craft an item that destroys
Correfuego
's immunity. To defeat Ganon in
Legend of Zelda
and
A Link to the Past
, you need to use a special
silver arrow
.
Aquamentas
: When looking for the location of Aquementas, you are guided by the clue "The eastmost peninsula is the secret…" which is similar to the clue given in the first temple of
Legend of Zelda
. The distinctive placement of the circle of stones also parallels the Zelda games using unusual grass/rock placements to signify a secret area. The name of the boss is also quite similar to
Aquamentus
, the first boss in
Legend of Zelda
, although the similarities end there.
La aventura de Linken
: Named after the second Zelda game,
The Adventure of Link
.
Ir solo es peligroso
: The quest title is from the classic line of the series. After getting the
Tótem de plata de Aquamentas
(similar to silver arrows), you must dispel Blazerunner's aura on Fire Plume Ridge (similar to Death mountain), and defeat Blazerunner (parallels to Ganon) to obtain the
Llama dorada
which looks like a piece of the Triforce. Quest rewards include
Espíritu de Aquamentas
which resembles the
Magical Rod
,
Bumerán de Linken
which is a tribute to the powerful boomerang in all games, and
Espada de maestría de Linken
which references the
Master Sword
.
Before Un'Goro was revamped in Cataclysm,
Dadanga
was an ancient Kodo next to Linken who loved
Brote Sangrepétalo
s for the quest
¡Dadanga tiene hambre!
and "hated smoke"--a reference to
Dodongo
in
Legend of Zelda
being vulnerable to smoke. She did not survive Cataclysm and players can pay their respects in
