A Rather Twisted Summary of the Legend of Zelda Series
Posted on August 14 2015 by Alexis S. Anderson
Have you ever tried explaining the events of the Legend of Zelda series to a friend who doesn’t like video games nor medieval adventures? If you haven’t, then the people over at YouTube channel, DailyYou have got you covered. In its most recent “Fairy Tale Friday” video, the channel pokes fun at some of the Zelda series’ odd happenings and sums up the bearers of the Triforce in brutally honest ways. Their telling of the story is riddled with innuendoes, memes, and comical analogies that would entertain even non-gamers.
If you’re ready to laugh at a rather crude retelling of our favorite legend, hit the jump!
As a diehard Zelda fan, I did find some of the jokes distasteful and some descriptions inaccurate. But if I allow myself to view it from an outside perspective or think of the sketch as written by fans, then I really do find it a funny and interesting take on the series. DailyYou is a comedy oriented YouTube channel that puts out a new video everyday, and a Fairy Tale Friday every week if I’m not mistaken. As you’ve seen, Fairy Tale Fridays are somewhat rude summaries of well known fairy tales that never fail to make you laugh.
What did you think of this comedic retelling of the Legend of Zelda? Did you find it funny or a bit too raunchy? Are there any other video game series you’d like DailyYou to make into Fairy Tale Friday stories? Let us know in the comments!
