In Twilight Princess, the six sages the try to execute Ganondorf are desendants of the six sages from Ocarina of Time, evident by the medallion symbols on their robes.


Also in Twilight Princess, the music for Hyrule Castle is mix of the Hyrule Castle theme from A Link to the Past, and Ganondorf's theme from Ocarina of Time.

As shown by the level select in Sonic 3, The Flying Battery was to be in Sonic 3, between Carnival Night and Ice Cap, but was taken out last minute. Sonic was supposed to use the cannon he uses at the end of Carnival Night to launch his way up there. He would've broken a panel off the Flying Battery, and fallen down to Ice Cap, using the panel as a make-shift snowboard. It's said it was taken out because at the time they didn't have a proper transition from Mushroom Hill to Sandopolis, so they threw it there. Another theory is that it was to give both games the same amount of zones (6, excluding Hidden Palace, and Doomsday.)

In the Sonic Generations remix of Super Sonic Racing, clips of the original Sega Saturn promo can be heard, referencing Sonic R's debut of the Saturn.
