A Link to the Past Easter Egg
Ravio's outfit is actually an Easter egg referencing the moment when Link first goes to Lorule in A Link to the Past and turns into a pink bunny.
Create the Perfect Shadow Link
Using 3DS StreetPass, you can set up a Shadow Link that appears in others's games to challenge them. Your Shadow Link will be worth a bounty of rupees that your opponent can win -- if they can beat you. You can use StreetPass Setup to create the maximum Dark Link worth 999 rupees. You must possess the following:
Fully upgraded Master Sword, with 4 Master Ores
The Red Tunic found in Lorule Castle
All of the Heart Pieces and Heart Containers from all of the dungeons (except for Lorule Castle, which has no Heart Container)
Upgraded Great Spin Attack, obtained by collecting all 100 Maiamais
Two upgraded weapons equipped, such as the Nice Ice Rod and the Nice Fire Rod (for such upgrades, you must collect Maiamais and return them to Mother Maiamai)
Note that if you truly want to make your Shadow Link evil, you can equip a Blue Potion or two so that he can refill his hearts. You won't be rocking the full bounty, but you will make your opponent work for their rupees.
Easily win the Heart Piece in the Hyrule Race
To easily win the hyrule race you need to unlock 3 things: Skull Woods Save point, Miner's House Crack, and the Lorule Crack that is next to the starting point point of the race. WHen you start the race quickly wall merge and go to Lorule at the crack nearby, then summon the broom and warp to the Skull woods, make your selection quick as time will continue to tick down. Walk down South east out of the wood and procced to the ruined miner's building in Lorule and slip in between the bars to gain entry and re-emerge in the Miner's House. Exit quickly and head north to the finish line. Using this method with just walking I've achieved times of 55 seconds, with using the pegasus boots it's possible to get around 45 seconds.
Collect all 100 Baby Maiamais and return them to Mother Maiamai.
Complete the game.
The Legendary Player is the toughest in-game Shadow Link that you can fight anytime. In order to unlock him, you must first complete all 50 streetpass challenges by Gramps in Kakariko Village. Afterwards, talk to Gramps and open up the challenge menu. Exit the challenge menu, and Gramps will tell you that you are the second one to finish all of the challenges. He will then offer to let you fight the first one who completed them all. After defeating the Legendary Player, you can challenge him again by talking to Gramps and opening up the challenge menu then exiting it.
Majora's Mask in Ravio's Shop
In Ravio's Shop you can purchase any of the main quest Items you would normally find in dungeons. Note that Majora's Mask can be seen on the wall of the shop, a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Once Link gains the ability to merge with the wall, there are several easter eggs and silly things you can merge into. First and obviously, Link can merge into the wall in his house and slide behind Majora's Mask, making it seem as if he is wearing the mask.
Several houses in Kakariko Village have portraits and paintings in their houses that Link can merge behind. Slip behind a portrait of Makar's mask from Wind Waker, or a Cucco head, or even a Skull kid head in Thieves' Town!
The Stylish Woman in Kakariko blows Link a kiss every time he enters the house, but she's also gotten lipstick on the right wall. Merge along the wall to give Link lipstick on his face!
When entering Hyrule Castle with the Master Sword, Link can merge along the paintings retelling the events of Link to the Past. You can even take the place of the place of the Link in the painting!
Link's appearance while wall merging also changes depending on the tunic he has equipped, if he is holding a lantern, and even the border that forms as he merges changes color depending on his tunic.

After you complete the Thief's Hideout area, you will meet the same girl at a cave which is located southwest from Link's house. After you open the treasure chest, she will tell you to "Keep this a secret to everybody," which is a twist on the popular phrase used by a generous Moblin in the first Zelda game: "THIS IS A SECRET TO EVERYBODY."
