Added spoiler prefix considering this is a new episode.

 

But yeah, twas awesome to see, and lots of rupees to.

[Jeric 46,834]

Oh shit ... I have an excuse to bring back the Rarity and Link memes. @@Woohoo

 

[cmarston1 5,951]

I didn't even catch this when I saw it on TV.

So seeing this posted here was a nice surprise.

It was pretty cool.

I know next to nothing about the Zelda games, but doesn't this Link pony have Epona's color scheme?

[Megas 27,051]

I wonder if Navi would be a Breezie

Yup

[Stormghost 136]

Wt? Link in MLP? i never watched this episode (11).

[Marimo 555]

This happened after the window washing scene. Link pony is going in the direction Fluttershy and Zephyr came from, which means he must be going to see the Twilight Princess.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,627]

If that pony was the Hero of Time, Equestria wouldn't need the Mane 6. Also,if Link's here,wouldn't that imply that Ganondorf and Zant are there as well? If so,I predict a very bleak future for Equestria.

This shout-out was actually subtle, as opposed to the Peanuts reference in Made in Manehatten last season. That Peanuts scene had Rarity flat out set up a booth like Lucy van Pelt and groaned, "Good Grief" as a Charlie Brown Pony Expy passes by. Here, nopony references the Link Pony Expy heading in the direction of the Twilight Princess-- I mean, Princess Twilight's castle.

At least the coat, as Epona's mane is white, and Link pony's is blond, matching with his Hyrulean counterpart's hair.

 

Well, that funny background was cute, but pretty blatant . I mean, the green hat, the coat and mane, the carriage full of NOT rupees .....

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,237]

Well, this is awesome. Brings me joy seeing this reference in an episode that I just wasn't entirely fond of. Next I want to see a reference to Final Fantasy somehow. Would be hilarious to see.

[Sketchy Tail 206]

I didn't even notice while watching the episode, but people on Twitter have been going crazy over it.

I don't know anything about the games, but I know of Link.

[darkwingmare 1,296]

Yep, I definitely saw it in the background and freaked out about it.. xD The amazement.

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

This will cause so much Pony link X epona shipping images on Derpibooru

 

Anyways, I liked it: I don't care if its "Not subtle". Its a background joke, and a nice one. its not interfering with anything and is just in the back for people to see and laugh at. I like it.

A joke would imply that it's funny. It's not. I'd say it's more of an easter egg for gamers who grew up playing the Legend of Zelda games. Which means that it could go both ways. Fans are either gonna love it,or they gonna hate it.

[Radiance64 7,051]

Whoa, does this mean there's a Ganon in Equestria? Has Twilight been with him on a Twilight Princess adventure? How does this Link even rolllllllllllll?!

lol but really that is amazing, didn't even notice it meself. Love that he's carting a stash of rupees too, nice touch.

Sombra and Tirek already filled the "Ganondorf and Zant" quota for Equestria, IMO.

Not even close. Ganondorf and Zant aren't defeated by the power of friendship or magic.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,204]

Missed this...was too concentrated on Flutters

 

Cool nod to the fandom though, recognizing gamers.

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

O GOD, EQUESTRIA BETTER HIDE ALL THIER POTS, LINK IS COMING FOR THEM.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

I was too into the foreground to look at background, as always. Wow. Wouldn't Link be a Unicorn though since he can use magic in many of the games and has an MP bar?

And the chickens. Those poor poor chickens! AJ defend the coop!

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

And the chickens. Those poor poor chickens! AJ defend the coop!

But the Chickens can defend themselves, afterall, they are the MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY TO LINK. the one he can NEVER TRULY DEFEAT.

Yeah, I think a pissed AJ or Fluttershy (the only  chicken owners that I'm aware off ) wouldn't arrive in time before seeing a cadaver

It might be because he's mainly known for his sword skills. Besides, he isn't born with magic, instead he's given magic, and he uses by a "conduit" just to name a definition
