Tag: Zelda Commercials

The folks over at Crave Online have created a listing of the Top 5 worst video game commercials. When I saw this listing I almost immediately thought, a Zelda commercial has got to make this list. While the image you see to the left was part of the magnificent Ocarina of Time 3D commercial… Zelda commercials haven’t also had the same fate. The Zelda series is known for having some of the most bizarre commercials ever. Some of them are…

Game Informer is continuing their Skyward Sword coverage and this time they updated their Zelda Hub page with an article discussing the History of Zelda Commercials. They have compiled two videos for the occasion, one of which is a near 18minute video of tons of Zelda commercials just back to back and you can see that one embedded below. Alternatively, the Game Informer folks have pretty much the same video, but with their added commentary to it and you can…

Actor Robin Williams and his daughter Zelda, named after the Princess, now star in a second commercial for Ocarina of Time 3D. Using Robin Williams’ voice for an exciting narrative, this commercial (seen below) focuses more on gameplay footage and footage of Zelda playing the 3DS than the previous one, which you can see here.

A little over a week ago, I updated about the various Majora’s Mask Japanese Commercials. Well today, we have their English counterparts. There were a couple commercials released and they were all focused around the same basic theme. A young boy is playing Majora’s Mask while trapped in some sort of glass room. His playthrough is aired on TV’s all across the world as people watch him play, all while the moon is falling above them. It really does give…

As with most Zelda titles, when Majora’s Mask was released, it was accompanied by an ad campaign in both Japan and various places across the world. There were multiple Japanese commercials that came out and two of them are embedded right here in this post. The first one actually makes Majora’s Mask out to be quite a creepy game. It shows the actual Majora’s Mask tormenting a young man while he is playing the game in his apartment complex. The…

A sweet looking commercial that features both the Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. The 3d model that is used for Link just looks awesome and it resembles the artwork that was use for the game. Now, a 3d Zelda title with that type of look? You can’t possibly think this wouldn’t be sweet. You can check out several more commercials in our Zelda Commercials section. This commercial is the kick-off of a complete revamp of the Oracle of…

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…

This commercial for A Link to the Past is entirely in Japanese, but it is hilarious. It’s a bunch of Japanese people dancing. Link looks rather feminine during the commercial as well. Princess Zelda is shown in a cage, and is under attack by enemies until Link comes to save the day. Afterwords Zelda joins Link and continues the obnoxious dance. The commercial concludes with a sweet variation of Ganon appearing, of which it is clearly a massive puppet, but…
