Hin Denburg
.
sounds familiar... German dude?
First comment?
Actually naw, second comment ==" Paul von Hindenburg (1847–1934), a German general during the First World War...
Wow, i remembered something from my age old history lessons...

First comment is a link the ill-fated zeppelin Hindenburg, lead-ship of the Hindenburg class. It makes more since for the Goblin zeppelin master to be named after a zeppelin rather than the soldier-turned-politician that the zeppelin was named for.
It's like if I wanted to name someone after Tycho Brahe and make it a Penny-Arcade reference. It wouldn't be a reference to the 16th century astrophysicist who the character is named for.

There is an NPC in Un'Goro crater that is named "Linkin" or something like that. He's dressed in all green clothes and looks like a little fairy man. This is an obvious spoof from the Zelda games.

HA. I've never thought of that.
That's pretty good...
Those lazy fools won't even thrust their own spear.
Why do the Sons of Hodir stuff all have this random sexual innuendo?
