(for Satellaview) There's some interesting details here, like the blood or rust on the sword. It is now largely assumed that this particular Link sheet comes from a scrapped BS Zelda 2 remake.
Twitter tweeted, 'Presumed 'ZELDA 3' scratchpad sprites from recent Nintendo leak.
However, it seems that any connection between the numbers and the date of the leak is coincidental (examples below).Īmong the leaks were models for unreleased and presumably unfinished sequels to The Legend of Zelda. Others posted that the numbers 2401 were a reference to the date of the leak. The theory stems from an easter egg in the game, a plaque in the game that reads 'L is real 2401.' Many believe that this stands for 'Luigi is real.' Following the leak, which featured images and models of a Luigi character for Super Mario 64, many online delighted in the connection to the 'L Is Real' theory. 'L is real' is a long-running conspiracy theory that the character Luigi exists in the video game Super Mario 64.
