The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (3D)[edit]

Portraits of Yoshi, Peach, and Mario are shown from a window in the Castle Courtyard (left). From a different angle, portraits of Bowser and Luigi are shown instead (right).
Portraits of Yoshi, Peach, and Mario are shown from a window in the Castle Courtyard (left). From a different angle, portraits of Bowser and Luigi are shown instead (right).
Portraits of Yoshi, Peach, and Mario are shown from a window in the Castle Courtyard (left). From a different angle, portraits of Bowser and Luigi are shown instead (right).
  • In the area of the Castle Courtyard where Zelda usually stands, the right window shows five portraits of characters from the Mario franchise (from left to right): Yoshi, Princess Peach, Mario, Bowser and Luigi. The latter two portraits can only be seen from a different angle. The portraits show character artwork from other Mario games. Mario's portrait shows him wearing a Winged Cap, from Super Mario 64. The portraits of Peach, Luigi and Bowser show their Mario Kart 64 artwork, and Yoshi's portrait appears to use his sprite from Yoshi's Story.
