My son... gives me Helpful Nintendo Hints that are far too complex for the adult mind to comprehend. Here's a verbatim example: "OK, there's Ganon and miniature Ganon and there's these things like jelly beans and the miniature Ganon is more powerfuller, because when you touch him the flying eagles come down and the octopus shoots red rocks and the swamp takes longer." And the hell of it is, I know he's right.
Dave Barry, describing what may very well be Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, "Un Nintended Benefits"

Link: Gee! It sure is boring around here!

King Harkinian: Mah boi, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!

Link: I just wonder what Ganon's up to!

Gwonam: Your majesty, Ganon and his minions have seized the Island of Koridai!

Harkinian: Hmm... How can we help?

Gwonam: It is written: "Only Link can defeat Ganon."

Link: Great! I'll grab my stuff!

Gwonam: There is no time, your sword is enough.

Link: How about a kiss, for luck?

Zelda: You've got to be kidding me.

Gwonam: Squadallah, we're off!

Link: Whoah, what are all those heads?

Gwonam: These are the Faces of Evil. You must conquer each.

Link: I guess I better get going!

Gwonam: Here is the map. Where do you wish to go?

King Harkinian: Zelda, Duke Onkled is under attack by the evil forces of Ganon! I'm going to Gamelon to aid him!

Zelda: But Father! What if something happens to you?

King Harkinian: I'll take the Triforce of Courage to protect me. If you don't hear from me in a month, send Link.

Zelda: Impa!

Impa: Don't worry, Zelda - the Triforce of Wisdom promises that the King will return safely.

King Harkinian: Enough! My ship sails in the morning. I wonder what's for dinner?

Link: Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat an Octorok!
