**The Good, the Bad, and the Princess** (stylized as **The good, the bad and the princess**) is the third chapter of There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension.

The thumbnail of the chapter has the word LEGEND with Hero, the Dark Lord, and the Princess standing below it.

## Plot

After escaping the previous dimension, the user and Game end up in another game dimension called Legend Of The Secret. The user finds the themselves stuck inside an RPG game with The Hero as the main character. In the game, Hero states that he needs to save the princess in an interdimensional portal. Game suspects that it could be the way out of this dimension. Hero thinks that the voice of Game is Gaia so the user and Game helps Hero on his path to save the princess. After meeting the Dark Lord and saving the Princess, the exit appears. Before leaving the dimension, Hero wants to give Game a gift. Game opens the chest behind him and then it turns out Mr. Glitch was trapped inside that chest. Mr. Glitch changes "a thing or two" of the game and then explains his evil plan again, but while he was explaining, an advertisement pops up and the plan remains unknown. Mr. Glitch then leaves the dimension and the game restarted. This leads to the next chapter, Free2Pay.

### Cultural References

* The style of Legend of the Secret is based on *The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past,* and references many other things from the *Zelda* franchise*.*
	+ The music heard when finding a secret or obtaining an item are knock-off versions of their respective tunes from the Zelda games.
	+ The Sword of Life is similar to the Master Sword, which is also used to cut down bushes.
	+ Bombs are an item seen many times, which are very common in most Zelda games.
* Along with Zelda, there are many references to other RPG games.
	+ The plot of a young boy a princess from a demon-esc bad guy is one used in many RPGs.
	+ Hero mentions an absurd amount of collectables and tasks he needs to do before he can face the Dark Lord, which is typical for RPG promoting free exploration.
	+ Game complains about Hero's lack of intel points and any kind of amphibian skill, both of which are common abilities unlocked in RPGs.
	+ Game mentions "rushing a dungeon", a term describing finishing a dungeons as quickly as possible, ignoring all alternate paths and items.
* In the Dimensional Temple, it begins raining snakes, which references the Indiana Jones film *Raiders of the Lost Ark* (with Game even calling it out by name).
* Hero and Princess having an immediate connection within seconds of meeting happens a lot in fairy tales, where the couples barley interact before they kiss and live happily ever after.
