In the Land of Azeroth there are tonnes of secret NPC, Items, Weapons, and general name drops that make refrence to other movies, games or media. Here is a list of a bunch we have found while scouring the net.
Video Games
Diablo I & II � The weapon “Wirt’s Third Leg” is a reference to the character of Wirt the peg-legged boy from Diablo, and his wooden leg which you could actually pick up and wield as a weapon after Wirt’s death in Diablo II. “The Cow King’s Hide” is a piece of chest armor which can be looted from Onyxia and other random world Mobs, and it refers to The Cow King from Diablo II, located on the real Cow Level. The enemy Razorclaw the Butcher and the item Butcher’s Cleaver are references to the overlord unique monster in Diablo 1 and the item he dropped. The item Shadowfang is a reference to the sword of the same name in Diablo II. One of the tips displayed as the player logs in to the game is ‘There is no cow level’, a reference to the fact that there was no cow level in Diablo I. The phrase ‘There is no cow level’ is also the instant victory cheat code in the Blizzard RTS Starcraft. WoW players who purchase the collectors edition receive a gift coupon in-game which can be redeemed for a mini-Diablo pet.
Donkey Kong � In Un’ Goro Crater, the gorillas sometimes drop an item named “Empty Barrel”, a reference to Donkey Kong throwing barrels at Mario in the Nintendo arcade game and the continued importance of barrels in the Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64 series.
