@jsfhnln Nice by 1986 standards. And you know what? It's nicer than a lot of modern games too because it can show more than black, grey, brown, and dark green.
Ughhh, the first commercial is just despicable... such a lame rap.. hiding my eyes... and "Your parents help you hook it up" Really... Zelda sunk so low...
Don't even get me started with the random dancing and why is Link played by a girl. So. Bad.
The reason being was that that was THEIR expensive TV set the thing connected to, and as such it wasn't something wise to trust a potentially clumsy kid with (not to mention it would have been dangerous since TVs are heavy).. The kid could get hurt and/or the TV broken.
I think the second commercial is awesome. I'm not afraid. Still confused as to why they would have an Asian women play the part of some white guy. Probably a fetish or something.
The latter is clearly a Japanese commercial. The former is their original ad for the original Zelda game, which stood on its own without the ad methinks. But most Nintendo ads did that way back then (your parents help you hook it up!). Shows how far Nintendo has come, both with their advertising to adults and their commercials. I love the Robin Williams one for OoT 3D!
they gave zelda... a rap... they had the balls to give one of the greatest video game characters of all time a rap? NO! NO! DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Wow... how did Zelda get popular again??? Oh wait the game play, characters, puzzles, weapons, enemies, graphics, and all around good time. If I saw this back then I would of avoided the game for all time. Just Horrible...
I actually found the second one to be fairly entertaining. The master sword used in that commercial looks a lot like the master sword design in games after ALttP so I think the design was based on the sword in this commercial. Just saying.
I don't know about you julio4291, but I thought that the second one was pretty good. Japan always seems to know how to praise their games, while the american commercial wasn't even trying. Sure it's weird, but it's Japan. What isn't weird there?
