Bari=metroid?

[Scrub]

I just noticed this as I was playing Ocarina of Time 3d (awesome, by the way) and I noticed that the Bari strikingly resemble metroids. Now i'm not sure if this is just OoT 3d, but I wanted to see if anyone else noticed. Ya think it's a reference? I have a bad photo... here it is.

Its most likely because both resemble a very real creature in the natural world: The Jellyfish.

That is true, they are both similar to jellyfish, but there are a few things that set metroids apart; claw-like mandibles, and three nuclei. The bari have these two unique features too!

:xd: Hahahahaha! I'd never noticed the similarity before. In my opinion, it was unintentional, but you never know.

Why would there be a reference to Metroid in Zelda? :hmm:

Why would there be a reference to Mario in Zelda?


The resemblance is really striking, but I think it's just a coincidence.

Good point! I never really thought about that before, but now that I see that, definitely!

Oh ya, that too

(whats up with this 30 character limit?)

This is going to be moved to World of Zelda. It's not Zelda Theory, as that usually pertains to analyzing the games and their lore and their roles in the timeline.

Arwings in the Kokiri Forest? I've never heard of that one.

 

[Unlucky Monkey]

Arwings in the Kokiri Forest? I've never heard of that one.

I think he's speaking of the Starfox X-Wing thingy in Kokiri Forest. It's only available in the beta, and maybe, it was planned as an Easter Egg.

Edit:

Now I know, that thingy is really called Arwing. I'm not into the Starfox series that much.

I never really noticed this in the N64 version (I want a 3DS soo bad!!), but now that you mention it, there is a pretty good resemblance. I've never noticed that before!

I apologize. Now that i look at it, you are totally correct. Thank you for correcting me!
