Here we have another awkward commercial for Link’s Awakening. This commercial is a rap, which goes with the theme of the early-mid 90′s where rap was becoming more popular here in the United States. Nintendo must have tried to capitalize on this by incorporating rap into their video game commercials. The end result? Yet another Zelda commercial that we can look back on and laugh at.
I’ve added this video to our Zelda Commercial section of the website. The section now has five different commercials from some of the early Zelda games and we will be adding more over the course of the next few weeks.

too funny!!
i think its kind of weird how in one of the japanese commercials they didnt use little parts of the game to show it off… instead they used little puppet things lol
oh dear god
Oh god, that's hilarious. But really, early-mid NINETIES?
i remember seeing that last month. it's better than the japanese one at least
dear god thats the dumbest zelda comercial i have ever seen mostly because i hate rap and connot stand it p.s. did i mention i hate rap
Rap falls into a few catagories: Offensive (Crap falls into this too), amusing, and actual music. The last one is the rare kind of which I've only ever heard a few times in my life. This falls into amusing, along with that other Zelda rap from.. I think the 80's?
Couldn't agree more
Not much of a fan of rap, but I really cannot stand those that label rap as an entire cluster and dismiss it as being nothing more than garbage. Some rap really includes some amazing poetry.
This commercial… Amusing is a good word. Although I think I prefer the rap from the original Legend of Zelda commercial. "It's the Legend of Zelda and it's really rad, those creatures from Ganon are pretty bad…….." You can view that one at our Zelda Commercials page.
