"My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose."
—Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

"Hey, I know! I'll use my trusty frying pan as a drying pan!"
—Brock in Pokémon
