Legend of Zelda 80's rap commercial

[ninjastookmygamecube]

i don't see how this commercial sold anything. everyone knows sex is what sells products. or bas ass Doritos commercials that make everything so weird and dumb and unrealistic that in our mind it then becomes cool and awesome. that is how marketing works.

[MrBaumer8993]

So catchy!

[gago12335]

I would die if he said "woah nice graphics, it's so realistic!!"

[heyitstafranco]

Compare the old graphics to the even older graphics of Atari! If you weren't alive back then and over 5 years of age you'll never appreciate it. Ever! N.E.S. ruled the world back then.

[Trollercopter]

NO ones parents helped them hook it up.

[xXMapleVodkaXx]

Did he just say....that the graphics were good?

Now, lets compare it to a newer Legend of Zelda game....

[roothands]

@xXMapleVodkaXx

Speaking as someone who was about as old as the kids in the video when this game came out, they were pretty good graphics at the time.

[xXMapleVodkaXx]

@roothands Come on, you know I was just joking.

Besides, the main menu looks pretty good.

[KeegCoGaming]

The fact that Zelda still sold so well even with this commercial on tv shows how good of a game it was.

[Poever]

This commercial is pretty BAD!

[TheRealScaraban]

I can't upvote this. I'm sorry, but I just can't.

[klingon13524]

@TheRealScaraban This is Youtube, not Reddit.

[codyage]

Then several decades later, these two would fill their passions as video game rappers by becoming Duane and BrandO

[DeputyFifey]

WO MAN HOLY SHIT LOOK AT DEM GRAPHZICS!

[jocinondemhaterzmen]

(GNARLY DUDE) WOOO NICE GRAAAAPHIX!

[BassDS1990]

I can hook it up myself, bitch!

[troyisfilming]

@BassDS1990 haha

[heatfilter]

Powder has a song that starts off like this. Thumbs up for the post ^_^

[rocketmail9999]

I can't believe... No, I don't believe that this, THIS, made it sell so many. If anything, this probably lost 50% of their possible sales. WHY!? WHY!??? I'm half tempted to throw mine out after seeing that bull**ap! Aaaa!

[jijag400]

"Your parents help you hook it up."

[goldzero1203]

@jijag400 Orphans: :(

[afranz112]

80's kids...

[NoMac90]

The voice at the end sounds so 80s^^ Sounds familar to the Atari and Coleco Vision ads.

[MrZafod]

I saw this commercial as a kid and said, "I want that" I'm so ashamed.

[TheActionGameMaster]

AWESOME! Intense...

[cowhobozrule]

This NEEDS a techno remix. I DEMAND IT!!!

[RadicalX2k]

Hey...his game cartridge isn't gold. The Legend of Zelda cartridge is supposed to be GOLD!

Also, his power and reset buttons are black. What's up with that?

[deadpoolcable2]

subcribe to me and i will subcribe to you because the more subscribers you get, the more money youtube will give you.

[K9Negative]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! ROFLMAO

[whyeatcrap]

i wonder what it feels like to think that those graphics are good

[JoyGrenade]

@whyeatcrap It feels like being born in the '70s.

[SoundlyAwakeTonight]

Lmao my parents never helped me hook it up

[0xenne]

0:04 - 0:09 -- Is it just me, or does the guy in the glasses sound kind of similar to Link in the Zelda CD-I games, except a bit younger? o___o

[sonikku35]

That's a great slogan. "Nintendo Entertainment System, your parents help you hook it up *insert awesome face here* "

[NimhLabs]

This is what Television commercials are missing today. Whiter than bleached chalk rapping. I'd pay more attention to a company that tried this sales strategy again today.

[stredum123]

Why did they put a cool guy, with a nerdy guy.

[MrJamal442]

I can't believe Atlus spoofed this

[fizzoster94]

those graphics! ahhhh... simpler times....

[CoreyDaNutBrain]

geek!

[Flailwielder]

Wikki Wikki Wik!

[yohatube]

I actually remember this commercial..... makes me feel old...

[freefallman224]

hahaha nice graphics makes me lol so hard every time

[ANARCHi95]

fuck eazy, 2pac, ice cube and dr dre those faggots, this shit is real O.G 80's shit niggers

[Krizpyy]

@ANARCHi95 They are not faggots u dumb lil 10 year old they're rap legends rap and eazy e ice cube dr dre made also songs in the 80 dumbass 70s 80s and 90s is tha best

[sal01239]

@ANARCHi95 Ur a dumb little fucker. I hope pac's ghost comes back and haunts you

[majekaru]

I love The Legend of Zelda, but these guys need to get laid, big time.

[AlmostHuman102]

notice how at the beginning he says "Whoa, nice graphics!". That would be a subject of humor nowadays.

[Ironmaiden654]

Possibly one of the worst ads next to the second zelda ad....but an epic series nonetheless

[jaxratch]

Zelda brings together the greasers and the nerds. How wonderful.

[Pyromouse]

Atlus made a pseudo-commercial like this for their new game their publishing.

/watch?v=-feI0Y6f8Hc&playnext_­from=TL&videos=tgK6c__DYEc

[ImLastBoss]

wow, this brings back memories of a great game and era.

[sperckensiedoitch]

Y'all are just JEALOUS of the blond one's FLAVA!

[Madskillz03x]

Dorky dude hella reminds me of Mclovin..hahha!

[kingofthefullmoon]

You'r parents help you hook it up.

[HotFixer]

Whoa! Nice graphics! I'd like to get my hands on that game!

[kutvn]

lame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redrabbit65]

They cut the part where the one kid pressures the other into "loaning" him the Nintendo and then never gives it back. He later is arrested and serves time for male date rape. Very sad story.

[FlamebergeDuster]

I don't know if I should be giddy with nostalgia or fucking embarrassed...

[PivotKiller66]

When it shows the game's title screen @ 0:09 below the Zelda logo it says "Legend of Zelda sold seperately"

[mahony007]

I had a Channel F, atari, coleco vision, NES ,snes, genesis, PS, n64, ps2, ps3, and xbox. Nothing beats a well made PC game. RTS games like Age of Empires and Starcraft. FPS shooters like Counterstrike in 1999 or 2000. Groundbreaking amazing games. Easily as fun as any console game ever made.

[TheNoobCopper]

Hahaha! Good graphics, good game still now but the graphics are out of date.

[grantasas]

Dude....those graphics must have been.......god-like back then. And now, they're crap? My mind is blown!

[mcgstudmuffin]

wiki wiki wik

[Rilltin]

InTeNsE

[photos33]

rap was not meant to be in commercials or anywhere else for that matter.

[Mullahgrrl]

Meant to exist in the 80s and early 90s.

[yuhhhhlan]

so your parents have to hook it up....no wonder im haveing problems hooking it up oh NO THEY WHERE JUST IN A CAR WRECK NOW ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY WHAAAAAA

[lucythewhitelady]

I don't remember my nintendo coming with Milhouse and bad 80s rap looool I love this commercial.

[MultiIsatkm]

I still remember when I played and I fought with the video game console, is very funny and embarrassing remember ...

LOL =D, ISA::::::::

[fuckfuckfuck71]

what is that! what! the fuck! is that!

[classicor]

lol i like the stereotypical nerdy kid

[legsmcnone]

my parents wouldn't help me hook it up and I couldn't play the motherfucker

[MiamiIndianTribe]

:-)

[Jaredeer]

lmfao

[xl40000]

omg! nice graphic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

[SaintCholo]

best graphics? wtf imagine how they got once the ps3 n the 360 came out ha ha

[seamonster73]

The NES"s graphics were the best graphics during the 1980s. The technology to make today's graphics didn't exist yet.

[discoder]

Curiously, this is actually better than most of the rap songs that are out now.

And does that nerd remind anyone else of Rick Moranis?

[sausagenmuff]

Agreed.

[BallsMacHammer]

I remember this commercial being a big deal, one of the first portraying an openly gay couple.

[JoelAndreBouchard]

lol...openly gay couple...your killing me.

[jyakku79]

OMG!!! LOL!!!

[otishaywater]

@BallsMacHammer haha thats some funny shit dude!

[suicidaln00b]

It's really rad.

[huphelmeyer]

Your parents help you hook it up!

[Vianyte]

That game was released in the mid-late 80s

[anamethatsnottaken11]

im pretty sure you dumb and it was definitely the 80's

[Jaredeer]

lol

[genphilip]

im pretty sure that was early 90's not 80's

[triforceofgaming101]
