With Skyward Sword about to release, it's a big weekend for the Legend of Zelda franchise. What better way to celebrate than looking back at Zelda's darkest hour?

Jeff Cork, Andrew Reiner, and I join Kyle Hilliard to mock him for owning a Philips CD-i -- one of the most notoriously terrible game consoles ever released -- and mock the CD-i Zelda games for existing. On this episode we look at both Link: Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon. Don't get your hopes up that we'll find something redeeming in these forgotten atrocities.

Enjoy this episode, and check out previous Replays on our Replay hub.

Oh yeah, and the voice acting and dialogue is so stupid because it was done by poor Russian voice actors, who had very little grasp of English.

Oh, boy... This is gonna be interesting.
by Zebra3 Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 07:59 AM

This is great! I've always wanted to see these games in action. I've watched the cutscenes on YouTube but I wanted to see more.
by Farrell Maniac Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:11 AM

Oh ***...
by Poopdog OfDefeat Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:13 AM

That was probably the most painful replay I've watched and it wasn't even a 10 parter.
by Fearedmachine Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:17 AM

I think my brain exploded because of this...
by durararaGO95 Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:18 AM

by DoctorNight Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:19 AM

Lol I heard about how awful these games were but to see them played......They are worse than I thought!
by Stewdavis Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:26 AM

Does the cinematics in these games remind anyone else of Reading Rainbow?
by Platinum Slime Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:36 AM

The birthplace of so many memes...
by The Destroyer Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:37 AM

Mah boi, the next Super Replay should be Wind Waker.
by Masterassassin Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 08:42 AM

This is gonna be both painful and fun to watch.

EDIT: The animations in the scenes will haunt my nightmares.
by metalmatchel Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 09:05 AM
