First "Legend of Zelda" Commercial

[SargeantNoob7]

He's right. these ARE the best f*cking graphics ever.

[WeGonLose]

Damn I got to pre-order this.I will be there at Wal-Mart at midnight.I'm gonna be popular.

[GDrK00LAID]

Woah nice gralhics its better then skyrim

[JaredHorning]

Whoa! Nice Graphics!

[Purplestuff6788]

the worst part was there was a stupider add for zelda.

[ColinTheAwesomest]

What did link say to Ganon after capturing Zelda?

Leever alone!

Ahaha- sorry I made you go through that

[TheMichaelfearless]

Wow nice graphics it better den mw3

[AmberxxAttack]

Damn! Those are some amazing graphics!!!!

[JoeTheUseless]

Why the fuck are people mentioning skyrim :-S

[2themaxmovies]

DAMN YO, THOSE GRAPHICS ARE RADICAL!



[mccartyjc]

Man now the kids help the parents hook up stuff to the tv!!!

[thedyno900]

WOWNICEGRAPIGHSINEEDTOGETMYHAN­DONTHATGAME! wow slow down dude... get high....go skyward

[TheYoNate]

When the Atari came out, they had to plug it in the family room. Then, the NES comes out and kids start to have TV's in there rooms! I wonder if it's the following..

1. Since they had an Atari and the sound was SOO loud, they though it would happen again. So, they bought another TV for they're rooms.

2. The NES was more easier to hook up this time that they don't need help and could have a TV of they're own!

[FunkyPertwee]

@TheYoNate The price of TV sets was lower in the late 80's than in the early 80's.

[TheYoNate]

@FunkyPertwee Yeah, that's true...

[Jikashisama]

If that greasy nerd and his radical friend are like 12 and they need their parents' help to plug in an NES, I wonder how far they got in Zelda's puzzles

[Hamporkchop]

WHITE GUYS CAN'T RAP.

[ratchet1215]

oh my god the 80s

[dragonstar213]

If you had link to the past back then you were an official badass

[sirlafs3]

why did the guy have to push his glasses up?



[VIKTT0R]

yo why are the power buttons black

[xenxander]

@VIKTT0R

It was a floor model NES that wasn't sold to the pubilc. If you have one it's a rare collector's item.

[1Death4All]

its Nintendo your parents help you hook it up. lol yeah right my parents asked me to set up their VHS player them.

[Nightweaver1]

I want to be really rad. Wiki wik

[gokunarugo2]

best damn graphics ive ever seen,better than dragon ball z raging blast 2 and call of duty combined

[CoolJoeRed]

Okay you kids, when you look back at YOUR teen years, the next generation will do to you what you're doing to us. This was the advertisers way to attract us teens back then. Did it work? Well, I've been a Zelda player since late '87 when it debuted, you tell me!!

[sean1ggg]

Nice

[Fuzunga]

LOl the kid with the glasses!

[Nedspodos]

@Fuzunga A late 80s hipster.

[sailorsoilders]

when was it released 

[Guitarist500]

I like how he bobs his head 0:03 like a gangsta XD

[DailyOrange101]

Whoa, nice graphics!!! XD

[KillerTactics23]

thanks i dont need my parents to hook up my games.

[gotja]

Better rapper than drake

[ssjgrabiel]

nice graphics?! lmao if those kids were in 2011 they would had been really impressed with skyward sword!

[NeoSancomics]

@ssjgrabiel The graphics were nice at the time and I'm sure those guys have seen Skyward Sword. It's not like this was filmed in another world in a far away time.

[LedHead0501]

I used to play The Legend of Zelda.. but then I took an arrow to the knee

[mpalm887]

@LedHead0501 Honestly, thumbs down.

[WaterCrystalline]

This just shows the lack of creativity the U.S always had with video-game commericals. It's either a rap song, or some generic script featuring teenagers.

[Nutt11g]

This is about as white as you can get

[Nintendotron64]

From this day forward I am officially using the word "nintense"!  Spread word through all the internet because a new meme is coming.

[thetechnomania]

Parents....hooking up a game console....WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?!?!?

[JohnWesleyMethodism]

@thetechnomania LOL, my parents didn't know how to hook up a game system.

[phiberoptik69]

Another reason why white people shouldnt rap! ugh...Great game though!

[Wolfheart247]

I was singing the rap at school.. I got really weird stares.

[ccwwefan]

yeah i only have Skyrim

[MissDinosaurxo]

WOAH, NICE GRAPHICS!

[toycommander]

can`t get better than this.... Awesome graphics and a badass rap song...

[TheRealLucasLee]

So who's gonna be the buzzkill who points out that he says "Get Zelda", not "Get some"?

[ngu0061]

0:09 the legend of zelda sold seperately on the start menu

[NeoOphelia]

Wow....looks to me like some people have failing sarcasm detectors. On another note....LOL.

[CyberIce2000]

"Whoa, nice graphics..." I rofled!

[2Slick2Stretch]

Advertise fail.

[zanzibar727]

0:21

[StealthyPenguin]

Looks like my Skyrim will have to wait! Got to play LoZ

[zzzoraktube]

AVERAGE......HOMEBOY!



[dxidaniel]

whitest kids ever

[link5767]

I could swear they just advertised:

1. Nintendo Magazine.

2. Nintendo entertainment system.

3. Zelda

[jackobuddy]

This = Proof of technological, and mostly human, evolution :O

[stevensonbak]

GET SOME, LINK!

Oh, that's right, can't talk... hmmm....

[iiPotatoes]

"Your parents can help hook it up." Is this from an alternate universe???

[vanchucito]

@iiPotatoes No my friend, just around 1985 hahahahaha.

[jonathanxz96]

8 people like to hook it up themselves

[thevindelator]

I like this but I definitely dislike it.

[GamerOfYear2000]

@thevindelator Cool story Bro

[x808B3ast]

Thumbs up if IGN.com from facebook brought you here!

[rsxbulma]

[jotusico]

[Venitix]

I now understand that joke in that AVGN episode :D

[TinoDelvarges]

[lamkstager]

[TNTNRG]

[Fatkabbz]

[mav6771]

@TNTNRG skyrim*

[gameinguy]

[GhostReconGuy]

@Pyro25100 you just went full retard.

[tmleafs75]

Your parents help you hook it up...lol

[AidePineda25]

hahahaha badass!!!!!

[crimped357]

Late 80s early 90s- great system for the time. I still have one in the garage! The only problem was the save system. It was flash memory that was in the cartridge that would go out an loose any saves you had.

[bagiboxi]

Thumbs up if IGN told you.

For more game stuff check out: youtube com /watch?v=ReVwJ-G9BQs

[FamilyGuyStuffs]

IGN brought me here

[Pyro25100]

They had no clue how to advertise back then lol

[DarknessDrawsCloser]

That rap had sicker beats than Flocka.

[brunoharris95]

The 240p helps putting up the vintage mood lol.

[Epionea]

Lol I wonder what people will be saying about Skyrim graphics come 20 years time...

[The4onesies]

whoa.... AWESOME



[TNA57]

Dude, I gotta ask my parents to help me hook it up! :P

[sldl04]

When is this from? 1950?

[georgeballer24]

Those kids must be 40 now

[davem1992ftw]

the birth of a legend

[scdrumlinepit]

The Japanese one was better. :)

[googleboy314]

Smosh's rap was better.

[GhostReconGuy]

@googleboy314 lolno.

[googleboy314]

@GhostReconGuy ? yup :)

[Pyro25100]

@GhostReconGuy lolhe'sentitledtohisownopinion­

[SpeedyAnchoa]

nice graphics...

[Raverenz06]

Your parents help you hook it up....

[sgrdaddy76]

Wow! I didn't know there were wiggers in the 80s.

[sldl04]

@sgrdaddy76

80's?  Looks like the 60s to me.

[Nydestroyer]

@sldl04 lets see.... computers where made public in the 1970s and home entertainment systems took a few years to be available so 80's sounds right



[NaughtyNateDog]

Imagine them playing battlefield 3 at that time...LOL

[FredSanford08]

damn shame i STILL know dat "rap"!

[futbolxluva]

better graphics than the wii lmfao

[KoedyB]

@futbolxluva Lol so true.

[Pyro25100]

@futbolxluva That made absolutely no sense.

[futbolxluva]

@Pyro25100 sorry i didnt kno i was speaking to a retard... im referring to the fact the wii graphics are so shitty the NES has better graphics and if that doesnt make sense to you then i dont know what will...

[Pyro25100]

@futbolxluva You made a statement that makes no sense considering that the wii's graphics are far beyond 8-bit. Don't call me a retard if you're the one who made a retarded statement to begin with. Before this goes anywhere else, I'm done. I won't be back here. Goodbye.

[vanchucito]

@futbolxluva the NES has better graphics than the Wii??? you might want to confirm that. If so, try playing Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time or Skyward Sword on NES... good luck with that.

[wwetjw]

ima zelda fan but i would not play that one i delted this game off my 3ds bc i didn't kno what df to do

[jasvenegas3]

I can't imagine their faces now if they looked back into this commercial...

[ChiliCheeseBurrito01]

a link from IGN brought me here....?

[Albion105]

@ChiliCheeseBurrito01 Nobody gives a shit?

[karpik232]

@ChiliCheeseBurrito01 same

[kapi23]

Wow! Awesome graphics!!! O.O

[coolworld123456]

he ment bad grafitcs the nerd says no! and then the kid breaks his nes then play a saga genitsis then nerd crys to his mom and barfs on the cat and sorry for bad spelling lol and this is a joke to make it a bad game AD lolz but the game is good.

[Gameboi834]

@coolworld123456 ...The Genesis wasn't even created.

[toalazlo6]

How can the beginning of a video game legend... have such a stupid commercial?

the song's pretty catchy, though.

[plantmant]

lol he said "wow! look at those graphics!"

[XxDeAtHxXbLoOdRaId]

still good today

[ETHANCOOKPS1]

i got some today finally got a NES!!!!!!!

[MrBrianTV1]

Wikki-Wikki-Wik!

[mechassult7]

I remember I was in the 5th grade when this came out, I got mine and when my father gave it to me he told me I had 2 minutes to hook it up or it was going back to the store. I sure as hell didn't need any help I was playing zelda within 30 seconds!

[Whitatoodanis]

I just nostalgia'd all over my keyboard.

[skyemarine]

they're still called tectites, too :))

[cheeseball187]

It is every Latino child's dream to own this game. Too bad their parents didn't hook up their NES system for them.

[domoeatsu]

@cheeseball187 thats right they went on the street like i did and bought bootlegs

[KoiraDemoni]

This game still has good graphics

[Soundwave401]

"And oh my god, we have a Zelda Rap. 'It's the Legend of Zelda and it's really bad. The creatures in the game are really rad'....... This sounds famaliar."

[t3amtomahawk]

@Soundwave401 AVGN fan! Hahaha

[TheRealCMScout]

@Soundwave401 AVGN! AVGN MENTIONED THIS!

[toalazlo6]

@Soundwave401 I take it that's an AVGN reference? just asking

[Soundwave401]

@toalazlo6 yeah it is. And it's nice to hear an AVGN Fan take notice of that. :)

[chrisa693]

@Soundwave401 ummm you mix up rad for bad...

[Soundwave401]

@chrisa693 it's like written like that from the AVGN episode, "Nintendo Power Memories". And yeah i agree with you. They switched those two words, I guess that the real Zelda rappers won't know this and sue them or something. XD

[DylanM444555]

Did anyone notice that on the title screen it said The Legend of Zelda sold separately, as well as the power and reset buttons being black.

[Kroche929]

We can now obviously see how people used to tie video games with nerds.

[piplup10036]

anyone notice that the cart was standerd grey and not gold when they closed the hatch?

[Altair0115]

But what if you're an orphan?

[tanos1998]

@Altair0115 thumb for you sir,XD

[dffdfdfd100]

@Altair0115 youre right, harry potter wont know what to do

[TheModifiedGarry]

Well. That was the greatest thirty-five seconds of my life.

I'd better kill myself now. It's all downhill from here.

[quiktymevideo]

I give much more credit to the rapping guy in The Legend of Zelda gameboy game.

[chrishardy619]

in 2044 the teens see a trailer of skyward sword and gonna say wow

[brandoonjen1]

lol 00:19

[kakoriko007]

"Mom...Dad...HOOK IT UP!"

[LemonTheMighty]

whitest rap ever...

[iAreAless]

Guy: WOW THOSE GRAPHICS ARE RAD * 8 BIt* LOL

[ReaperMan50]

If your parents are both men and were dropped on their heads, they will help you hook it up

[YamiTetsuya]

Is this a real commercial? xD I ask because I saw the parody first and it's so crappy (even for it's time) I'm not sure it's for reals O_o

[gustibiri24]

@YamiTetsuya Yes it's real.

[MrAertt5]

kid looking at zelda 1: wow nice graphics!

[RixxzIV]

WOAHNICEGRAPHICSIDLIKETOGETMYH­ANDSONTHATGAME

[RichiesGranpa]

Look at that fucking NES. It's got Black power on and reset buttons. What is that shit!? It looks awesome. Gimme.

[gingermadman]

And so began the stereotype.

[0XxSuzakuchanxX0]

"Intense"

[OMGilovegir]

OOH, GOOD GRAPHICS

[mrb1untman]

What was the PR department of NoA on? Crack cocaine? Meth?

[Drunksonic]

[evilarmyofdeadness17]

[persontheiii]

Thus the video game nerd stereotype was born.

[TheRealCookieMunster]

0:21 "get some..." lolol

[CruzinExotica]

what kind of nes are they putting the game in? at :07 the buttons are black...also isn't zelda a gold cartridge, not a grey black labeled one? (later there is a grey cart...years later)

[kimico17]

Haha! The first time they took it, and I saw it here on YT, that commercial was..well...Lol. Something I am sure people thin thought they would not hear on a commercial..Cause it was like "F-ing Awesome Graphics!" Haha!

0:09 The Legend of Zelda Sold Seperately BEST FUCKING TITLE SCREEN EVER
