Who doesn't love a good Easter Egg in a video game? This is one of my favorites due to the sure oddity of it and the length you have to go to find it. Basically Chris Houlihan won a contest in Nintendo Power to get his own room in the next Zelda game which was A Link to the Past. After winning this contest it seemed to most that he was lost among Nintendo's designers but now we all understand what happened.
This Easter Egg was very elusive for years only few knew about this room but thanks to the internet it has become more known. To find this room there are different methods but they all require the Pegasus boots and a good amount of luck. To get in here you need to gain enough speed to jump into it, not too much not too little or you'll go in another one. Once inside, there are 45 blue rupees and a sign stating "My name is Chris Houlihan. This is my top secret room. Keep it between us, OK?" Nintendo Power has since done contests but none of them allowed you to win a room like this one. The Chris Houlihan room is one of the more unique and jealous enducing Easter eggs of all time. His name now lives in infamy.
thats a pretty sweet prize!
