The original Zelda commercial

[2600Lives]

I was watching this "classic" piece of gaming history again on YouTube tonight, and realized something. The guy in it was John Kassir! The voice of the Crypt Keeper! Wow. I haven't seen it in umpteen years, and knowing this makes it all the cooler!

Ugh! A good thing the game was way better than the commercial made for it.

Well there was nothing wrong with the Rap Zelda commercial. It was okay for the idea of rap and Zelda at the time. Personally when I was younger I danced to the third games commerical theme "Get down with Zelda" .

That commercial was NOT "rap Zelda". It was more like "geek Zelda", giving a rather bad impression that this game was for that type of game players.

Oh I never seen that one before. That commercial is gered towards children at least of age 12. The idea was that the game was going to send you screaming ( since the game is challenging ) and most people would freak out after awhile. Considering the mature material that children had access to ( scary stories ).

 

In general that would be Link ( to children or DAD players ) and he would running all over the place trying to find Zelda. The goofy nioses is there to attract children.

 

I mean god almighty and I thought that rap Zelda was bad ( Not awakening ). This kinda stuff could mess up a child in the future. It is kinda like the guy at carnival was saying while he waiting for more customers.

 

Nothing has changed at all.

Zelda games are pretty cool, but overrated imo. They are too hard and long. I have a short attention span. The first Zelda used to frustrate the hell out of me. I'd either get lost or bored after awhile.
