"I AM ERROR" is one of the most famous examples of unintentional humor in video game history, originating from the 1987 NES title Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. In the town of Ruto, an NPC simply introduces himself with this cryptic phrase, which was actually a deliberate joke by the programmers (the character's name is Error, while another character is named Bagu, or 'Bug'). Over the decades, it evolved from a confusing gaming moment into a universal shorthand for technical glitches, programming failures, and self-deprecating humor regarding personal mistakes. Today, it remains a pillar of internet culture, frequently used to represent anything that has gone catastrophically or hilariously wrong.
