This game pays homage to ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. It borrows both the top-down view and the side-scrolling from ''Zelda II''. Large overworld areas will be presented in top-down and smaller areas in side-scrolling. Like ''Zelda II''; when walking around in top world mode, the player will run into the black, shadowy creatures, which randomly pop up.

This game also uses a very similar logo, menu format, and health system to ''Zelda II''. It also featured many other ''Zelda'' elements such as the famous Zelda chime that accompanies opening a Treasure Chest, and feature in a door which brings forth the phrase, "Hey man! It's dangerous to go alone!"

World 5-2 is played from top-down, in a homage to ''The Legend of Zelda'' for its [[The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary|25th Anniversary]]. One of the star medals requires lighting four torches in a side room. Doing so opens a door and the ''Zelda'' "Puzzle Solved" chime plays.
Reportedly, the developers originally wanted the level to be World 2-5, for further homage to ''Zelda'''s 25th Anniversary, but felt that it would be placed too early in World 2.{{Ref| name=3DLand | [https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/11/30/the-creation-of-super-mario-3d-land The Creation of Super Mario 3D Land - IGN] | The Zelda tribute level was born from tests we did to determine what type of expressions would be effective in stereoscopic 3D...We determined that looking down on a room from above would be a good match for 3D, and when we created a level in which Mario walks from room to room, we ended up saying, 'this seems oddly familiar… it's Zelda!... Having taken things that far, we decided to add a number of ideas from Zelda. Since it was the 25th anniversary of Zelda, we could have made the Zelda tribute level 2-5, but we didn't think it would be a good idea to put the level in too early, so we made it level 5-2 instead." | Koichi Hayashida}}
