The Chris Houlihan Room in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, there's a secret room named after Chris Houlihan, a fan who won a Nintendo Power contest. The room, filled with 225 blue rupees, was intended as a crash prevention measure. If the game can't determine Link's location due to a bug, it sends him to this room to prevent freezing. The room's existence remained a mystery for years, only coming to light when players shared their accidental discoveries online.
