Error

From the Nintendo Wiki, your gateway to information on everything Nintendo

'Error is an extremely minor character who appears in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for the NES. In the game, he is a blacksmith who lives in Ruto Town. He is a popular character for laminating the now popular phrase "I am Error", and nothing else. Apparently, his real name is Errol, which is identially pronounced to Error in Japanese.

This was referenced in later games, such as in Super Paper Mario when Fracktail malfunctions, thus saying "I am Error", among many other things. The character himself later tells you that there's a tunnel south of the palace, though overall the only reason he has any importance whatsoever is his saying.
