"Here Lies Link"

[TNinja]

Aside from being a Zelda fan, I'm also a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series. After playing Dawn of Souls for GBA, I remembered that in Final Fantasy 1, in the city of Elfheim, the left most tombstone behind the inn reads "Here lies Link". Now I know that it was just meant to be a cameo, but wouldn't it be cool if the Legend of Zelda series was connected to the Final Fantasy series. And even though the zelda timeline is screwed up enough, I think it would be cool to think that the FF games branch off of Zelda somehow. What do you guys think?

That's an interesting find. Nice job.

However I don't think that they are related, but I could be wrong. It's a cool idea, but a bit of a stretch.

Anyways, great find, and maybe you're on to something...

If Link's under the ground, then who's that off to the left?

I get this in real life.

I live across the street from a cemetary currently. I've taken walks though it. It's an old grounds that still has use today and thus there are a number of interesting names on the monuments. There is a "Link" family plot there - a big tombstone with "Link" in script and the given-names of various members of the family buried there. That stone also has a graphic of sea-shells on it so I guess at least one member of the family liked the sea.

There's also a stone for "A. Stiff" in that cemetary. I'm not kidding.

Edit: Ooh, look! My current user pic/avatar is appropriate!

He's the thief. It's one of the characters you can choose from in Final Fantasy 1, and he wears a green bandanna that resembles link's hat

I laughed out loud at that.

zelda needs to stay zelda, and not a new final fantasy game
