One highly attentive Starfield fan spotted a somewhat obscure reference to The Lord of the Rings franchise in Bethesda's latest game. This Lord of the Rings reference is not the only Easter egg in Starfield, with the game also including subtle callbacks that fans debate whether they are intentional references or mere coincidences, like a possible Dead Space throwback.

The potato reference in Starfield is a testament to the staying power of a meme that originated from Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of The Two Towers and peaked in popularity around 2008.Starfield continues Bethesda's tradition of including pop-culture callbacks, with a wide variety of movie Easter eggs, including a Lord of the Rings reference to Samwise Gamgee's love of potatoes.On entering Lorien and after being waylaid by the Elves, Frodo and Legolas are the first two to climb up a flet, and they climb up together.ĭespite the fact that any conversation is unrecorded, that doesn't mean that it didn't happen (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence) and it would be very odd indeed if they didn't talk at least for the first of these examples.During Frodo's watch in Moria he first sees Gollum (or at least what can be deduced to be his eyes) Legolas takes the next watch.
Rich are the hours, though short they seem, in Caras Galadhon, where Galadriel wields the Elven-ring.'Īside from that, there are plenty of other occasions where Frodo and Legolas were together and clearly had opportunity for conversation, but what they may or may not have said is unrecorded here I give just two as examples: 'But the wearing is slow in Lórien,' said Frodo.
Yet beneath the Sun all things must wear to an end at last.' The passing seasons are but ripples ever repeated in the long long stream. Slow, because they do not count the running years, not for themselves. Swift, because they themselves change little, and all else fleets by: it is a grief to them. For the Elves the world moves, and it moves both very swift and very slow. 'Nay, time does not tarry ever,' he said 'but change and growth is not in all things and places alike. And I don't remember any moon, either new or old, in Caras Galadhon: only stars by night and sun by day.' It was not, I think, until Silverlode bore us back to Anduin that we returned to the time that flows through mortal lands to the Great Sea. 'In that land, maybe, we were in a time that has elsewhere long gone by. 'And perhaps that was the way of it,' said Frodo. Anyone would think that time did not count in there!' 'Well, I can remember three nights there for certain, and I seem to remember several more, but I would take my oath it was never a whole month. On the Great River, after the first ambush by Orcs (which doesn't appear in the movie) and after Legolas shoots down the Nazgul's Fell Beast (likewise), we have the following exchange (the conversation opens with Sam):
