The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993)

When Link sprinkles Magic Powder or uses a Mystery Seed on a Buzz Blob, it will transform into an enemy called a Cukeman who Link can talk to and hear several short phrases. Each localization of the game features completely unique Cukemen phrases, often making vague references to real-life people or things.

In the Japanese release, the Cukeman's dialogue string is a series of catchphrases that ends with "…That concludes this collection of R-Moto-isms. It has absolutely nothing to do with the game!"
"R-Moto" is most likely a nickname for the game's character designer Masanao Arimoto, suggesting that the Cukeman's dialogue originally consisted of phrases he commonly used during development.

In the English release, this dialogue is changed, causing the Cukeman to say nonsensical phrases like the stereotypical Jamaican greeting "Hey Mon!", as well as "It can display millions of polygons!" immediately followed by "I definitely need it, as soon as possible!".
These last two lines are most likely a reference to the Nintendo 64 which was in early development stages at the time of the game's release.

In the original German release, the Cukemen will say more suggestive or vulgar phrases courtesy of Nintendo of Europe localization translator Claude Moyse. Two of the phrases include "Gib Mir Deinen Saft, Ich Geb'Dir Meinen" which translated from German to English means "Give me your juice, I'll give you mine.", as well as "Nie Ohne Kondom!" which translates to "Not without a condom!"
The "Gib Mir Deinen Saft, Ich Geb'Dir Meinen" line is most likely a direct reference to the 1992 song "Saft" by German hip-hop group Die Fantastischen Vier, of which that line is its hook, and peaked at #19 on the German singles chart the year prior to Link's Awakening's release. Because the song openly promotes the sexual exchange of bodily fluids, the "Nie Ohne Kondom!" line was presumably added by Moyse to jokingly riff off it while promoting safe sex to older players.
The Link's Awakening DX release in Germany removed these references and phrases and instead changed them to in-game hints.

In the French release, the dialogue is changed once again to more nonsensical phrases before ending the dialogue string with "Lots of kisses from Kyoto! VERO". This last line features the name "VERO" and a unique heart sprite tacked on at the end as a signature, most likely from the localizer of this dialogue.

There is a secret room, called the Chris Houlihan room, that is not accessible via normal means. It contains a telepathy tile and 225 Rupees and is used as an error handler if you fall into a hole but the game can't find a proper destination.

This room appeared as a result of Chris Houlihan winning a Nintendo Power contest and being promised an appearance in a Zelda game. Many of the glitches used to access the room were removed in the GBA port though, along with any mention of Chris.
