Link's appearance is based on the design used for official art in {{ALttP}} and {{LA}}, albeit with darker hair, possibly due to palette limitations. He appears unequipped, and looks around the room before crossing his arms. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Link takes the second place instead of {{smw|Yoshi}} (at the time of the original game, ''{{Smw|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island}}'' had just been released).

Also, when Mimi insists that Mario pays for a vase he broke, she will not accept coins, since she prefers to use octagonal gems called Rubees, again a parody of Rupee. There is a Pixl inside a bathroom on the moon named "Fleep" which requests a piece of paper. Mario then must buy a map, which is then used a toilet paper by Fleep (in a similar way to [[???]]), who rewards him by joining his team.

This Luiginoid move works in a similar manner to the aforementioned item, causing multiple Luigis to stretch out in a chain to latch onto targets and pull Mario and the remaining Luiginoids to it.
| |
| | |
| ; ''[[smw:Super Mario 3D World|Super Mario 3D World]]''
| |
| :A secret area in one level of the game takes Mario to an area composed of black blocks that form an 8-bit Link sprite from the original {{TLoZ}}. Lighting them all up to reveal the sprite causes the "item found" refrain from {{OoT}} to play, and a Green Star to appear.
