I AM ERROR 

The old guy from Zelda II who lives in a gigantic house (which looks small from the outside) in Ruto.

He is totally useless (only one hint later) and keeps saying " I AM ERROR".

No one knows what this means or why he says that.
Maybe it's his name, Error.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
