Topic: Zelda Commercial

[AngusPodgorny]

Is anyone else here old enough to remember the commercials that Nintendo ran for the original Legend of Zelda?  The one with some dork dressed up as link running around yelling "ZELDA!!!"?  I'm surprised I ever decided to buy the game considering how dumb the commercial was.

While we're at it, anyone remember the old commercial for Nintendo Breakfast Cereal?  Lord help me, I still remember the song.  "NIN-TEN-DO:  It's for breakfast now!!!".  Someone shoot me.

I was very young but interestingly enough that commercial is the reason I bought Zelda to begin with.  I had no idea what the game was about as the commercial explained pretty much nothing but the curiousity the commercial invoked in me convinced me to buy it.  I was however only about 12 or 13 years old.

Its funny when I think about it.  I used to be a member of the "Nintendo Fun Club" where they would send you "The Fun Club Magazine" every month for free.  Eventually the mag became the subscription based "Nintendo Power".  They even used to offer phone support for the games where you could call them in Redmond and they would help you with the game.  Then that too became fee based as they turned it into a 900 number.  Oh the glory days of yesteryear...

I liked the commercial. Also if you thought that was bad their was one for the original game that was much worse.
