Here's a great like trick you can try. It's not much but I'm pretty sure you will find it amusing.

Mario in a Zelda game? What will they think of next! Well actually he was in Zelda 3 (in a painting on the wall) and he comes back in a simular fasion for Link's latest adventure. When you go and meet Zelda for the first time, turn right and look over to the wall. You should see a window. Use Up C and look through the window. Guess what? Now you should be able to see Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi and Princss Peach/ Toadstool! Now isn't that fun!
