A lot of stuff in here is great, never realized the Super Mario Bros. 3 was a play. Btw, there are statues of Agahnim all over the Great Pyramid in the Dark World.
I used to search for stuff like this in Zelda. (Still do)
Zelda: Four Sword Adventures probably takes place after A Link to the Past... and maybe before The Legend of Zelda.

Link's Awakening as a sequel to A Link to the Past has several references, some more obscure.

The shrine where a bit of the game's plot is revealed has the appearence of the Eastern Place from ALttP. Probably left over from the original preview shown in Nintendo Power. Inside you fight an Armos Knight, like the six you fight in ALttP. You also fight the Moldworm, and Lanmola bosses from ALttP at various points.

"Luigi" was also in Link's Awakening as the guy on top of Tal Tal Heights with the chickens.

And a cool Zelda 2 reference in Ocarina of Time. When you defeat the 4 poes in the Forest Temple, you gain access to an elevator...
