Error as he appears in-game (this sprite is used for many characters)

Error is a character from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. He is a man living in the Town of Ruto that helps Link in his quest.

The character has achieved infamy amongst Zelda fans for the perceived absurdity of his initial line of dialogue. Error can be found inside a house within the Town of Ruto and will simply exclaim "I AM ERROR" when Link first speaks to him. Another character will later tell the player to speak with Error: "ASK ERROR OF RUTO ABOUT THE PALACE", after which Error will deliver further dialogue "SOUTH OF KINGS TOMB IN MIDO IS A TUNNEL", proving that Error is indeed his name, and that this is not a mere mistake.
