You can pretty much guess what happened from there… Tons of fans got up in arms over the style of graphics, complaining it might as well be filled with ponies and rainbows. With Diablo 3, there were some early development screenshots featuring a more cartoony color pallete than its present day iterartion. This amused the developers to the point where it became a cheat code in Starcraft, then finally an actual secret level in Diablo 2, reached by combining Wirt’s Leg with a Tome of Town Portal in the Horadric Cube.

A long time ago there was a rumor that clicking on the cows in the original Diablo could possibly send you to a secret cow level. To give some backstory to the the secret level’s connection with each other, I will first explain the cow level for those who don’t already know. The story of how the level came to creation is actually quite similar to the Secret Cow Level from Diablo II, not to mention even references it (we’ll get to that later). Whimsyshire is the special secret level of Diablo 3, which is pretty hidden and requires a significant amount of effort to reach, let alone stumble upon without knowing about it beforehand.
