Link isn't a 100% idiot. I Think Bro made this in an attempt to show you guys that he's just a dunce in a few areas.

Not meaning to be technical... ok, I guess I am, but it seems a bit anachronistic for a character like Link from a medieval time period to know about Shakespeare. Then again, he's living in a fairly modern house with an anthropomorphic hedgehog, an Italian plumber, a pink... vacuum thingy, and a futristic cyber bounter hunter.

I apologize profusley that I manage to misspell Shakespeare in every panel, but at least I was consistent, no?
