Japanese Legend of Zelda Commercials Were Insane
Japan’s original commercial for The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past featured more dungeon dancing than a Michael Jackson music video. Western commercials never reached this level of quality.
Here is the original Japanese commercial for The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, thanks to Retro Junk.
And in case you think American commercials were never zany, here’s the original TV spot for the original NES Legend of Zelda.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
