transformer of the dinobots was named Grimlock. He was the king.

#20 Legend of zelda
in Un'Goro crater there's a NPC named Linken, a refrence to Link from the Legend
of Zelda series, if you don't know who this is, then you probally never owned a Nintendo system.
One of his quests, has a reward for "Linken's Boomerang", one of Link's items throughout the series.

At one point, Linken says that he remembers a raft. A refrence to "Link's Awakening" where Link is sailing on his raft and gets caught in a storm, to
awake on an island.

One of the quests involves a creature named Aqumentas, Aqumentas is actually a winged, horned green dragon from the Zelda games.

Next to Linken, there is a kodo named Dadanga, Dodongo was the boss
of the Dodongo Cavern in Zelda's OOT. If you talk to her owner, she says he hates smoke. In the Original NES ZElda, you talk to an old man who warns Link that Dodongo hates smoke.

There's a quest that has you retreive a chunk of meat on a bone,
this is similar to in the original Zelda. As an added refrence the vendor you buy the meat from says, "Buy somethin' will ya?" which is what the vendors said in the original Zelda game.

There's a quest called "It's Dangerous to go Alone" which is what the old man says when he gives Link his sword in the original Zelda game.

There's a quest called "It's a Secret to Everybody" which is what a moblin says if you find a secret area in the original Zelda game.

Muigin's fascination with bloodpetals and occasinaly runs out to attack them with his hammer. Larion sometime states, "I wish I could just jump down a pipe and get away from them..." Muigin is dressed in green and blue and friendly to the alliance.

#22 lost vikings
something about these three dwarves who want you to get the staff of stol and the amult gnik'iv. tsol is lost spelled backwards and gnik'iv is viking. im not sure where this is at because i havent been to the area they are in. im also not sure if all this is correct.

im sure there are more, but these are all the ones i (meaning my friends who hit 60) can come up with.

Shouldn't that be called "Popeye reference"?

Also, alot of these were on Cheat!(like the Mario bros and Legend of Zelda ones), as well as a reference to The Lost Vikings.

Something about a mine somewhere with dwarves named Eric the Swift, Olaf the Stout, and [forgothisname] the Strong.
