===List of ''The Legend of Zelda'' memes===
The following is a list of popular memes  based of the [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] series. These should have sources that show their popularity.
====(Insert other popular ''Legend of Zelda'' meme in a section written like a full article, in large detail)====
====I am Error====
[[File:Error ZII screenshot.png|thumb|Error saying his iconic phrase, "I am Error".]]
'''"I am Error"''' is a famous line that was spoken by [[Error]] in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.
=====Background information=====
Due to the absurdity of the quote, many gamers believed it to be a mistranslation, a misspelling, or an actual error message. This has been proven false because Error has the same name in the original Japanese [[Famicom Disk System]] release. However, a similar character, [[Bagu]], has a mistranslated name, as his original Japanese name translates to "bug". The reason many believe that Error's name was a mistake is because at the time, many games had incorrect spelling and translations, with ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' being a notable example.
Another incorrect notion is that Error's intended name was "Errol", judging how the Japanese often mix up their L's and R's.<ref>[https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26431/a-legacy-of-personality-the-characters-of-the-legend-of-zelda-error-zelda-ii-the-adventure-of-link A Legacy of Personality: The Characters of the Legend of Zelda - Nintendo World Report]</ref>
While Nintendo has not confirmed this, Error and Bagu's names are widely believed to have originated from an in-joke between developers. This means that their names would respectively refer to an error message and a software bug. Ironically, the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine stated in a feature that Bagu's name was mistranslated instead of Error's.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121223025146/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/44941/features/22-classic-gaming-mistakes/?page=2 Feature: 22 classic gaming mistakes - Official Nintendo Magazine] (Wayback Machine)</ref>
=====In pop culture=====
[[File:I am Error E314 technical notice.png|thumb|450px|The E3 2014 technical difficulties screen, based on the "I am Error" phrase.]]
"I am Error" is one of the earlier internet memes, with its earliest use dating back to the early 2000s. Some time after "All your base are belong to us" became a widespread meme, a number of memes about poor English translations in games became viral, including "I am Error".<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2014/03/11/opinion/10-classic-internet-memes/index.html 10 classic memes that owned the Internet - CNN]</ref>
Despite being a minor character, Error and his phrase "I am Error" are mentioned in several media outlets. Error was included in VideoGamer's list of "oddest character names in games", and GamesRadar+ included his "I am Error" line in a list of the 40 most repeated quotes. GameSpot mentioned the phrase in an article where they discussed poor translation in video games, and misinterpreted Error's name as a 'translation oddity'. IGN wrote a list of worst in-game quotes and added "I am Error" at number two. A Nintendo Life review for ''{{wp|Castlevania II: Simon's Quest}}'' also noted "an 'I AM ERROR'-esque script", likening the game's garbled translation to the phrase.
There have been a few times where [[Nintendo]] has acknowledged the "I am Error" quote. From around 2012-2015, [[Nintendo]] of UK's 404 page read "I AM ERROR", accompanied by an image of Error.<ref>[https://archive.fo/PFvc 404 - I AM ERROR] - archive.is</ref> At E3 2014, when Nintendo Treehouse's presentation of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' experienced some technical difficulties, they displayed an notice based on the "I am Error" quote.
===Video games===
"I am Error" has been referenced in a couple of video games:
*''[[mariowiki:Super Paper Mario|Super Paper Mario]]'' (2007) - At some point during the boss battle against [[mariowiki:Fracktail|Fracktail]], it gets hacked and utters several confused lines, including "I AM ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART."
*''{{wp|Fossil Fighters: Champions}}'' (2010) - The line is said by a character at one point
*''{{wp|Time Fcuk}}'' (2009) and ''{{wp|The Binding of Isaac}}'' (2011) - The quote is referenced in both of {{wp|Edmund McMillen}}'s games.
*''{{wp|Guacamelee!}}'' and ''{{wp|Zeno Clash II}}'' (2013) - While unrelated, both games have "I AM ERROR" as the title for an achievement.
*''{{wp|Splatoon 2}}'' (2017) - Pearl says "I AM ERROR" when her Team Retro loses the Splatfest to Marina's Team Modern.
