Here is the classic Nintendo ad for the Legend fo Zelda in it's original context, a full commercial break played during The Smurfs on CBS.

Credit to Mom for having the foresight to record everything I watched when I was little.

  • wow...haters, back off! lol...we weren't fat ******* because we actually PLAYED OUTSIDE, which is virtually unheard of now. We ran around the neighborhood with friends and played kickball and backyard baseball and tag. Our parents actually parented us, rather than letting the tv babysit us all day so they could sit around and play games themselves...

  • @tgreer72 Agreed, I feel lucky enough to have known the joys both of electronic gaming and days spent out in the sun doing things sidewalk chalk and rubber balls.

  • Out of curiosity, what was the purpose of your mom taping your TV watching? Not that I think there's anything wrong with in it; in fact I wish I had videotapes of my tv-watching youth.

  • @Ratgrappler Well, kids shows werent on then as often as they are now, plus we didn't have cable, so no Nick, Cartoon Network, or Disney Channel.

    Then again, at the time the Disney Channel then was more like how Discovery or TLC (back then they were almost cable versions of PBS) were with a slight children's slant.

  • @Zer0Funk But at the time video games were still essentially the domain of the overly studious nerd types who would be doing great in school anyway, as played up in this commercial.

  • Thanks gguru1. NINTENDO should bring back this commercials. This is actually the year to do it.

  • Why would they make the one kid a nerd, and show him pushing up his stupid glasses? I can't stand that nerd!

  • "WOW look at those graphics!" ;)

  • You know I find it amazing as a kid I hated commercials and now watching this it brings back so much memories. Nostalgia...things were so much simpler back then...

    Oh well, back to being a grown up; paying bills, work a shitty job and hating life on a daily basis.

  • wow! i wanted to see more..... so much memories!
