Ahh yes, that video.
I took this video along with a crapload of others to work one day to show my co-worker....he thought it was hilarous.
Did anyone else notice Link was played by a female?

Haha that's funny. And yes, I did notice that Link is a girl. :hmm:

Speaking of a female Link, I think Zelda's voice was done by a guy. Definitely does not sound like a princess. Also, the lip-synching was a bit off there.

I thought we already had a topic concerning this commercial? Oh well.
The stupidvideos version is absolutely terrible and has been edited.
Here is a link to the full commercial in good quality:

Made me want to double-team both Zelda AND Link.... Dose that make me gay? These feelings are confusing...

So, the voice of the rapper sounds really familiar to me...I think he may appear on De La Soul's Buhloone Mindstate album. No joke.

In the middle of that dance, you want to shout "heeeeeyyy, macarena!"
And a girl link rescuing a girl princess could be just the thing to spice up the series ;)

Just think of it as an overly elaborate cosplay....
but choreographed by Paula Abdul.

I used to live in Japan and was very used to strange commercials like that! Have any of you seen the American version of the Zelda commercial?

Thank you Zing. I thought StupidVideos sort of cut it off.
Thank you hydr0x. I could sort of figure out what that meant better than the Japanese one. If you guld give me the words to it in a text file or something, I could copy it in to a translator like AltaVista's Babel Fish.
Thank you Vivid9 for one of the U.S. commercials. However, I was thinking about the one where Link is walking around in a dungeon, shouting stuff like "ZELDA! ZELDA!" and "OCTOROCKS!" Very idiotic. It used to be here in Digital Press' Pictures and Video, but I couldn't find it.
UPDATE: Well here it is! That kid is insane.

If i ever say "DORK" "NINTENDO & "ZELDA COMMERCIAL" in the same post i am talking about that commercial.
Someone, i dont really know who, but someone went to alot of trouble to make that kid the goddamn dorkiest person to ever walk on the planet.
Think about the message that commercial is sending...only TOTAL F'N DWEEBS have anything beyond a passing interest in an NES.
The kid is such a cliche its not even funny.
