Damn, the Triforce didn't copy over correctly. I used the capital Delta symbol instead of question marks but I guess this doesn't support that. |

I haven't played a Zelda game since 1989 so some of the references may be a bit vague to me. Anyway, I'll rate this high. Heck, it's a...REAL STRIP...with a plot...and a punchline...and a joke that might even work in NetHack. You get the idea. Here's a platinum star or something. |

! Maybe I should start listening to Zelda music as NetHack background. Those old dungeon track pretty spooky for 8-bit sound. |

I saw a yen sign (ÃÂ¥) in this webcomic before. There should be a way to do delta (â) also. However there seems to be some confusion about the character set. When I previewed this comment, an A-with-a-hat appeared before my yen sign, and my delta become an a-with-a-hat. When I previewed again, my yen sign became A-with-a-tilde-A-with-a-hat-yen-sign while my delta sign became A-with-a-tilde-cent-sign. I wonder what I will get when I post this.
My KCharSelect program specifies that the yen symbol is in table 0 (which contains ASCII and some accented characters), while the delta symbol is in table 34 (which contains various mathematic symbols). |

Oh, wow. I was WONDERING when somebody would finally reference Zelda in NetHack. The punchline isn't that great, but I still got a good smile from the entire strip.
of course, if NetHack like Zelda, you'd never die, and even if you did die, you could come back from your last save. And no object could ever leave your inventory, ever, and you could only have four bottles and every time you got an item other than zorkees (rupmids?) it would be a huge deal.
Perhaps I typed too much here... >_> |

Actually, e-mail is to blame here. I never saw anything else than question marks. And since I don't know the reference I never suspected that anything was wrong...
This uses utf-8. |

There actually is a Zelda roguelike, I'll have to go dig up the link now...
I suppose the strip is somewhat hindered by the fact that this already exists. Still funny though. |

Koopa: Unless I miss my guess, the items in his inventory carefully selected to match real items from the originl Legend of Zelda. The book was, I believe, the item from the eighth dungeon and made the magic set fire to whatever it hit. (Turning it from a striking to a fire?)
(I originally assumed it was Link to the Past, but then he would have had a green , a , and a magic . And maybe an artifact sword.) |

If only an ocarina was one of NetHack's many instruments. |

Antheridium is correct, they are items from the original Legend of Zelda. |
