The Wind Waker: American Commercial (2002)

[00RDB00]

say all you want, the whirlwind slash was, is, and will always be the best move

[tretre543543]

opera music doesnt go well with cartoons

[refonyte2000]

1:06 truly epic

[jjfarmertv]

wind wanker



[bouchandre]

Ok I want to play this but I'm DYING to find a copy!!!!

[troyforce1]

thumbs up if you want to join link

[1TheDuckGuy]

did i see a helm splitter at 1:10? tp obviously doesnt have any orinigality

[LetsPlayNintendoITA]

@1TheDuckGuy in tp it was derived by the parry

[1TheDuckGuy]

the dramatic scene they set up doesnt work for wind waker

[xmentosx]

They didn't... even name the actual game. Amazingly awful commercial :'D the footage was also terrible; they showed him hopping over a barrel with a boat and tried to sell it as the Lord of the Rings. Not to mention all the clips that show off where the camera sometimes slips up.

Then again, compared to Nintendo's old Zelda commercials this one was amazingly good.

[smida3]

The music is from Conan the barbarian .

[shadowkirby1100]

epic

[sood543210]

0:19 lol he sounds like a baby crying!

[TheSean432]

same music as oot trailer!

[slpinkydee]

I used to get so excited when this commercial came on! :D

[JoshuaTLOZ]

The Wind Waker New Play Control!

PLEAAAASE NINTENDO!!!!!!!!

[QueenFiria]

Legend of Conan?

[TCD252009]

"only one is a legend" yeah thamks alot comerical i hope you know you're likely the reason for the stupid literal legend theory.

[SoraKingdom3]

If someone know what is the music at 0:20 I'm interessing ^^'.

Good commercial but I prefere the one narrated by "Zelda"

[RPGamer05X]

twilight sucks!!!! wind waker rocks (Y)

[mgblue90]

∆ ∆ ∆ The Triforce should be found. . .The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

[stopandchek]

Everty Game has a story . . .

ONLY ONE IS A LEGEND!

[Daniraldo01]

Nice music!

[track10ify]

when he says zelda it sounds like he's burping

[wolfthehunter65]

They don't use this music for every game commercial!

[shadowisbeastandstuf]

I knew that music sounded familiar....

[kargaroc386]

Someone should do a TAS of this game

[koopakoop1264]

@kargaroc386 nevet1212 has -__-

[kargaroc386]

@koopakoop1264 I didn't mean Abridged Series, I meant Tool Assisted Speedrun

[zeldalollipop]

HAHAHAHA the announcer and music are way too epic for the gameplay they're showing :)

[greyspot00]

I love the music :D

Anyone know where I could find it?

[Gaiden104]

I hope this is fake... because it's terrible. -_-

Did he say "Selda?" >:O

[MetaNixon]

I remember when game commercials were like this instead of today's poor effort of 20% gameplay, 80% showing the person and all their friends playing the game. I know what a person playing a Wii looks like, I do it a lot, I'd kinda like to see the thing I'm expected to buy!

[ChildishHero]

*Goes to replay Wind Waker*

[Lucariogamer14]

@ChildishHero I already did replay Wind Waker, now I'm replaying Twilight Princess on Wii to get ready for Skyward Sword.

[C3POtheDragonSlayer]

"Every game has a story."

Yeah, Tetris had such a good plot, with great character development and varied arcs.

[Deffpoised]

@C3POtheDragonSlayer I saw a very similar comment that was better executed than yours.

[ChristopherTheKnight]

@C3POtheDragonSlayer

Never said it was a good story :D

[hankparish]

@C3POtheDragonSlayer

Yeha long piece was a dick. he always showed up at the wrong times and never when anyone needed him.

[ShrimpyKRM]

@hankparish Thats what happened on my SML Guitar medley so far... 2 dicks came and wanted to make my like bar a jersey shore penis....

[Zuon94]

@C3POtheDragonSlayer

Tetris is good, but I believe Pong had some plot twists. In my opinion, they made for a better story, because you never knew exactly what was going to happen next. I mean, what more could you want than a story about the ball's constant betrayal over the two sides?

[zorachild9]

@C3POtheDragonSlayer I know right, it was amazing.The plot made me cry with awe. ;u;

[CasualVader]

I remember watching this so much before the game came out.

[skullkid3311]

the seriousness of the commercial if laffable compared to the cartoony-ness of the game.

[HeavyArmsO5]

@skullkid3311 Uhh, you have played the game right? It's no less serious.

[TheKenster64]

Is it me, or did they use this music in the Ocarina of Time commercial too?

[kazoodac]

They give most shovelware too much credit by saying every game has a story.

[blockmariolink42]

does any one notice in any game play that links sleeves were changed from orange to a light green in any way?

[LilizelfAzelf]

The trailer is all epic, and that stands out because everyone's like "THE GRAPHICS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE A KID'S SHOW!"

[TheEscapedBalloon]

This is weird. It doesn't sound or look like an official commercial. Maybe a trailer, but a commercial?

[CoolDiggs13]

Love the voice for the narrator. Makes me want to buy the game, even though I have it.

[multifirewind]

When is the legend not reborn

[isabellaV21]

why did they only show jump attacks? I think showing helm splitters and the dodge-roll-attack thing (forgot the real name) would have looked cooler, especially for a commerical.

[StarScream6606]

Omg they used a Link falling into magma scene.

That was lame!

[Artemes10]

they don't even say it's wind waker, how would they even know? and i really think that americans should stop making games for nintendo systems, seriously, games based on toys for little kids?

[bcorral1994]

name of the song?

[Exclamation]

That was awful. Wind Waker is an absolutely amazing game, but this commercial is shit. xD If I saw this on TV, I wouldn't want to buy it and I'd end up missing out of an awesome game.

[ThrowdownN64]

Anyone excited for skyward sword trailer?

[gamemasterAJ]

The music and the narrators voice don't match this game AT ALL

[saurfan]

Wow. Impressive how good they made this. And notice, they are using a very limited version of wind waker. it's basically a beta that goes from the beggining to dragon roost cavern. and they did an amazing job.

[nikkicocoa7]

is this fanmade??

[sonicdsfan1]

@nikkicocoa7 no

[Diegobrandan15]

name of the song??????????

[lookoutforKURT]

yay for dazzle capture.....

[Savedbyblood777]

we need an EPIC commercial like this for Skyward sword!

[759b2]

is this the same music from the OOT commercial?

[tnguitarhero]

@759b2 It was used in a Twilight Princess trailer, I'onno about OoT though.

[759b2]

@tnguitarhero it was i just now checked the oot commercial. they are identical at some parts but WW is delayed a bit

[narutomoon]

:OOOO I REMEMBER SEEING THIS COMERCIAL WHILE WATCHING TOONAMI ON CARTOONNETWORK!!! i miss toonami....

[mastermattyboy]

"The legend is born......" Link is crawling through a tunnel looking cute xD

[LetsPlayNintendoITA]

@mastermattyboy the legend was born in Skyward Sword lol

[nintendo93mat]

@LetsPlayNintendoITA it is implied in skyward sword that the legend was even before then

[LetsPlayNintendoITA]

@nintendo93mat didn't finish it yet at that time sorry

[KeybladePrincess95]

....now I wanna play this again... thanks ZU

[evilbilby695]

I bet the guy who did the voice over had a huge beer belly

[mrmulimgamer]

i have never seen a loz game commercial on tv ever !!!!!!!!!

[linkplaya]

@mrmulimgamer Yeah, they're not all that common. I only remember seeing one for Spirit Tracks a couple days after it was released, and my sister said she saw one for Twilight Princess once.

[ganon23000]

This music is freakin' awesome.

[GunnerAstro]

its funny because i was just playing wind waker earlier...

[ignika98]

lol tetris doesnt have a stroy

[Diegobrandan15]

dude!!! name of the song????

[TheDoctorTL4]

i soooo remember this commercial :D

i loved it

[TheXdmasterdx]

they should do a remake for the wii :D

[RedYoshiReturns]

@TheXdmasterdx Why would they do that?

[BrickOfDarkness]

How many commercials used this song back then?

[AdolphX]

I really am a fan of TLoZ games, i have played and beat everyone of them even this one, but I just dont like this Wind Waker, I just dont i gave it the oportunity, it has everything a zelda game is supposed to have but i just dont like it, i guess it is because in all zelda games i always hated the water temples or water levels, and this game is all water XD, maybe thats the reason, but anyway i preffer japanese comercials, they make you wanna see them, they are not boring like here

[ACrazyMonk]

....

I want to buy this again.

[tficiur10]

also, this looks like a beta version

[tficiur10]

I love this game

[jeanpierrejuarez]

If a hear the "Raiders of doom" theme in the Skyward Sword tv ads I'm gonna be pissed...

[196333001]

@linkonfire1 AND Ocarnia of time, yeah NOA is LAZY with Zelda Trailer Music

[jape7]

good commercial but shoulda had a better voice actor since i dont think he fit zelda's theme

[daveyer2]

That doesn't make me wanna buy it thankfully though I know better than yo believe ads

[iSayTomatoes]

Nintendo has never really done a good job with commercials or ads!

[linkonfire1]

yep, yep it is

[linkonfire1]

wasnt that music from a twilight princess teaser?

[196333001]

@linkonfire1 AND Ocarnia of time, yeah NOA is LAZY with Zelda Trailer Music

[thing2liv]

This advert would make me NOT want too play the game.

[AdrianCloud5513]

I guess this was before it was called Wind Waker.

[KoopasRevengeHome]

in the words of chuggaaconroy, cuteness has never looked so badass

[DigitalxGamer]

Heh...I remember watching this thinking "Ugh, what did they do to you Link!?" but when I bought it, I was thoroughly glad I did~

[pg16meteors]

I think the voice ruins the commercial.

[TheLoz96]

I liked Wind Waker's japanese ad more.. :P

[ChocolateLNL]

Floormasters and lava. Great... This is probably my favorite LoZ game. Yes even more than Ocarina

[FrogMakesMontages]

I have that font on my comp.... poplar std?

[AndrewXAnarchy]

The voice over totally juxtaposes the cute art style.

[Arteza147]

Um... No. Almost every game has a legend... And it's always true.

[that1guywhoknows]

... link jumped into a floor master at the end...

[MegaMrSaturn]

if they used the beta instead of the meta that would be a really weird control scheme

[ShadowWolfRising]

American versions of game commercials = makes sense and makes you want to buy it

Japanese commercial = everyone dancing like michael jackson with no gameplay.

[Mag1cMerl1n]

@ShadowWolfRising But the japanese Wind Waker commvercial is like... gameplay only...

[Yupeji]

@ShadowWolfRising The japanese commercials make me wanna buy the games more though..

[ShadowWolfRising]

@Yupeji

ya, i could have phrased it better, but my point is they don't show a moment of gameplay, which kinda defeats the purpose.

[masterash713]

@Yupeji or barely any at that



[ShippudenCosplaysPro]

@ShadowWolfRising lol

[rockFOXYlobster]

@ShadowWolfRising i think the americans always over do it by fanny voice overs which it dosnt need and also the japanese one is very good.

[EmoMFr]

@ShadowWolfRising I can see your point with Japanese ALTTP, but what about the original Zelda, where the guy looks like he's taking to many drugs and is in Azkaban?

watch?v=HoXb7PIJYmA

[warmslurm]

@ShadowWolfRising American game commercials = boring as shit

Japanese commercials = epic as fuq

[scrivs01]

@ShadowWolfRising yeah, nintendo of america needs to make a skyward sword trailer... with this same epic music. I mean, it worked with Twilight Princess (same music, same font style)

[tchic777]

@ShadowWolfRising

If every game was advertised the way Japanese are, I would be broke...

[sergantbastard94]

@ShadowWolfRising lol so true

[1990supersonic]

@ShadowWolfRising the japanese version of any commercial make me want to buy it

[KyonGivesYouFacepalm]

What the fuck are you talking about? Tons of games have legends!

[xoxkangelsxox]

Great game. One of my favorites.

[sabbath275]

i remember when i had bought the game and the day i pass all of the gamee twice

[Icky34]

Dunno if I remember Wind Waker being this epic.

[heroofmask]

good good but hurry and announce that zelda beat starcraft on g4tv and x-play yes showed all the sc loving nintendo haters poeple

[ReKaXD96]

The Wind Waker... My first Zelda Game that i ever completed... ohh the memories lol. i remember selling this game after being too scared of Forsaken Fortress to actually continue through and then 3 years later buying another copy and finishing the game almost at a 100 percent... it was so awesome...

[heroofmask]

@ReKaXD96 how ya like the wind temples boss i loved that boss really loved its music out of the others but weird that medli was the earth sage and not wind same with makar.

[ReKaXD96]

@heroofmask The Earth temple its my favorite cuz of his design and his music its quite good as well, and i think they made Medli the Earth sage and Makar the Wind sage the other way around on purpose lol

[zombiechickenify2]

i love wind waker :D

[AngusT07171]

lol

[kevinj2010]

I find it funny how they went for a more cartoony look to the series, yet they made the trailer seem like something more epic like it had movie like visuals. It didn't mix the greatest for me sadly >.<

[KillerNess90]

sorry...is this a late april fools

[SuperUbersauce]

That was......AWESOME!!! :D
