Chris Houlihan is a character in A Link to the Past.[2]
Biography
Chris Houlihan is only mentioned through a Telepathy Tile found inside a secret room which also contains 45 Blue Rupees. The room is a failsafe that the game sends Link to when it detects an error in his Y coordinate. Five different methods can be used to access it,[3] all of which use the Pegasus Shoes and some of them Bombs.
The Telepathy Tile mentioning Chris Houlihan was removed in A Link to the Past & Four Swords.[4]
Trivia
- Chris Houlihan is only mentioned in the English version of A Link to the Past. Other languages simply state that it is a secret room.[5][6][7]
- It is believed that Chris Houlihan was the winner of a Nintendo Power contest held during September and October of 1990, where the winner would have their name programmed into a future NES game.[8] This was first stated in the December 1994 issue of Club Nintendo, the official Nintendo magazine for Latin America.[1] However, the winner of the contest was never revealed by Nintendo Power and Chris Houlihan has never been confirmed to even be a real person.

We thought that it could have been a type of bug, but when we received another letter mentioning this room somewhere else and [we were] still unable to find it, we decided to talk directly to whom created the game, so we asked our friends at Nintendo and they informed us that it is a room that appears randomly and there are cartridges where it will never appear. Chris Houlihan is the name of the boy that won a Nintendo Power contest and with it he also won the right to have his name programmed in the Zelda-A Link to the Past game."
