Curiosities related to the saga of the green-robed hero are constantly discovered. Some have to do with recent games, like this detail about Riju discovered in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Others cross the barrier into the real world, like this gorgeous collection of skins from a fan. Well, for this news the shots are more that way, although in a field that will surprise you: a Zelda fan has discovered an unexpected reference to the games in your math book.
It's not the first time, nor will it be the last.
Textbook manufacturers, and especially teachers, often look for ways to make learning more exciting for students. This sometimes leads to discoveries like this. In the past, gamers have found references to franchises like Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft e incluso Stardew Valley in academic textbooks.

Now, a Reddit user, DarkLordFergushas shared his discovery of a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask in his mathematics book. The question is designed to teach students How credit card interest rates workbut the key is in the name of the bank and its logo. The problem proposes to solve a mathematical question that involves the “Clocktown Bank”, which has the Triforce as its logo. Upon closer inspection, you can also notice that the font used for the bank's name is the same as that used in Majora's Mask. For those who don't remember, Clock Town (or Ciudad Reloj in Spanish) is the largest city of Terminathe world in which Majora's Mask takes place.
[MM],[MM3D] This was in a math workbook?!

Gamification is key in studies, and even more so in a subject like mathematics
Many Nintendo fans have been envious that others can learn math from this particular book. School can be boring for many, and something like this would put a fun twist on an otherwise pretty common math question. However, some players have pointed out that the choice of Clock Town and Majora's Mask for the reference is not appropriate. The problem is designed to teach how annual interest can accumulate over time if a credit card balance is not paid, but Majora's Mask takes place in a repeating three-day cycle with the world restarting each time, causing an annual interest rate would never occur.
