**Sonic Boom!**

Street Fighter II

**May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.**

Zelda III

**I live…again…**

This is an Army of Darkness quote and has probably shown up in multiple games.

Here’s an obscure one:

“Hot Tub Tina thinks you’re fantastic! And soooo strong!”

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

All of these are from different games:

**GET OVER HERE.**

**The town is dead. Go now.**

**I have enclosed a jewel that helps protect you.**

**Damnit! They got a low-freq EMP down there! Getting clipped just saved your ass, Marine! I just lost all readings from the rest of the platoon!**

**You’ll be in hell before me.**

**You represent what is greatest in us all, and all our hopes go with you.** (bonus if you can say what follows directly after this quote)

**Get your weapons ready!**

**Do what you must… for the people!**

**I’m sorry, I lost my boots and the legs of my pants in a deadly fight with a giant seaslug, which I won in the nick of time with my clever thinking and my, uh… cleverness.**

And one more:

**YOU LOST.**

Oh, Garland, you’re so incompetent. Final Fantasy the first.

Everybody got mine, except for **Khan**. “Kee, kee!” is from Final Fantasy I, though maybe the rupee grubbing monkey said it too.
