Badvertising: Legend Of Zelda
April 23rd, 2008 at 13:00 by Stuart Heritage
It’s so easy to hate, you know.
Just take a look at hecklerspray’s regular Badvertising feature, in which we take commercials presently oozing from your television screen and vehemently assert how rubbish they are. It’s a non-stop loathefest. And we’re tired, people. Tired.
So. We’ve decided to take a short break, see. Instead of showing you something lousy, we’re going to treat you to what is hands-down the best commercial ever made.
This is a 1992 advert for the Nintendo game Legend Of Zelda, and we’ll be damned if it doesn’t have the catchiest pop number this side of The Monkees, a strangely androgynous lead character battling all sorts of monsters, a crazy caged Princess and a dance routine that - in any sane universe - would be sweeping club floors nationwide.
What is actually happening in this commercial? We have no idea. Enjoy.
