One of the best parts of this game:

:Spyro: "Sparx, you ok??"
:Sparx: "Yeah, a little stiff, voice keeps changing -"
I Started cracking up right there. It's funny cos it's true.
I mean, it went from
bzzbzbzbzbzzzz to (fuzzy voice) Hello Spyro to (deep voice) Hey, Spyro, my bro! ?!?!??!?!?!?

They didn't "make fun of" LoS by adding references from it to Skylanders.
They only want to please you LoS fans. smilie
There's plenty of Classic references in there as well.

No, they aren't ever happy with what they got.

I think more they make fun of TLoS to add Malefor and Cynders name. They just took the name Cynder, she's another dragon in skylanders. Can you even image Malefor in Skylanders?

They put the LoS references in there to please you LoS fans.

Thats a totally different universe. It's not the same game series.
