Error

Error is a citizen of the Town of Ruto in The Adventure of Link. At first, Error only introduces himself when talked to, but after Link meets a second man in the Harbor Town of Mido and is encouraged to ask Error about how to get to the Island Palace,, Error will tell Link about the passage to the palace south of the king's tomb.

The sprite design for Error is used for characters in other towns who can sometimes be similarly unhelpful, although a few of them give Link very useful hints about using the Fire Spell or finding the Three-Eye Rock Palace.

Trivia

 * It's possible that Error's name is meant to form a pun with that of Bagu, a related character whose name means "computer bug" in Japanese.
 * In the Wii video game, Super Paper Mario, one of the first bosses of the game is a robotic dragon named Fracktail who is attacked by an evil character, Dimentio. Upon being attacked, the dragon malfunctions and begins to say several incoherent phrases, one of which is "I AM ERROR".
