Well the very first Link was also right-handed.

Ambidextrous. The sprite was inverted horizontally depending on where you went.

 

[fernoca]

So this was the "top secret Nintendo thing" that Zelda Williams was filming and many assumed it was live action footage for Skyward Sword?

 

[maxxpower]

How old is Zelda? Please tell me she's around the age of 22.

How old is Zelda? Please tell me she's around the age of 22.

22 next month.

And sorry PS3 fans:

What gadgets do you always bring with you to the set (for down-time?)

In an ideal world I'd bring my Xbox 360, steal someone's Wi-Fi and play Halo 3 or Katamari Damacy all day, but then I'd never get work done. As it is, my laptop and my Bose headphones are usually enough.

Though that's from 2008, maybe sh'e with Reach now.

 

[Thoraxes]

How old is Zelda? Please tell me she's around the age of 22.

I know i'm only about month older than her, and my birthday is this Sunday... So she's almost 22.

Also I didn't see this yet, or maybe i'm blind, but: http://twitter.com/#!/zeldawilliams/status/81049906588024832

Edit: I am blind.

Robin Williams goes to /v/

I hope her curiosity doesn't get the best of her.

 

[El Sloth]

He looks like some kind of magical wizard.

 

[GG-Duo]

He looks like some kind of magical wizard.

What kind of wizard is not magical?

 

[Plasmid]

Holy shit he looks so old.

 

[Amir0x]

ok now THAT was a cool commercial. The first CG one was lame

 

[Medalion]

Sold!

 

[Solune]

I didn't know Link was a real name until I read To Kill a Mockingbird. One of the characters is named Link Deas. I think the book was written in the 50s. I've never heard it outside of that.

Anyway, great commercial. Sucks we couldn't get it here in the US.

Link isn't so bad considering you can shorten Lincoln to Linc or Link, they do it in Prison Break!

 

[Ifrit]

I love Zelda, she's a total geek <3 from her twitter:

“@zeldawilliams: First thoughts on Xmen First Class: exactly WHICH first class is this?! Angel was part of the NEW school & Havoc is older than cyclops now?”

“@zeldawilliams: They could've at least chosen fun mutants if they were gonna mess with the canon like that. How about the Cable or Scarlett Witch? #XmenFail”

“@zeldawilliams: And totally meant 'Cable' and 'the Scarlett Witch'. #ZeldaFail”


*swoon*

Dayum, not even my male friends know that shit

 

[Sickboy007]

Want moar Zelda?

[Ifrit]

Want moar Zelda?

So that's what happens behind the curtain at the end of Adventure of Link?

 

[GDGF]

WTF couldn't we have gotten this commercial in the US? It's so much better than the crap CGI one.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Awwwwwww. That's a great commercial.

Robin Williams is awesome and Zelda cute.

 

[Naked Snake]

I imagine the CG commercial working much better to lure kids (which is probably in Nintendo's interest now for the 3DS), while this commercial appeals for adults.

 

[ShinNL]

sending her a letter now, hopefully she will marry me!

Dear Zelda,

I am a lonely internet male and I have just recently learned of your existence in a Zelda Commercial! Lol! After stalking your twitter account, I have come to the conclusion that you would make an excellent waifu.

Obviously I'm sure you get many Links (Lol!!!!) that try to tri-force your heart (lmao!). What makes me different? Well I'm a 22 year old male and these are the things I have accomplished with my life so far:




From

Chinner.

Hahaha, too awesome.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Seriously, I know two older women whose names are also Zelda. Zelda as a name didn't originate from the video game...

F. Scott Fitzgerald's Wife. I don't know of an example earlier than that.

 

[TheOGB]

Want moar Zelda?

[Izayoi]

Robin Williams is so cool.

 

[Dartastic]

More Robin photoshops plz. Need Katamari King Robin Williams.

 

[Cwarrior]

He named his daughter Zelda(new to me)

pretty cool ad

 

[Anth0ny]

Awesome beard.

Therefore, great commercial.

 

[bengraven]

F. Scott Fitzgerald's Wife. I don't know of an example earlier than that.

Zelda Williams was named after Princess Zelda was named after Zelda Fitzgerald.

Seriously.

 

[remnant]

She briefly mentions she was made fun of in school. I just feel it's creepy to do that to a child.

Oh wow it must have been hell being named after a princess and being in a rich family. Woe is her.

 

[LuFel]

an excelent beard!!

 

[daffy]

awww, that's amazing.

 

[Eradicate]

More Robin photoshops plz. Need Katamari King Robin Williams.

Someone with far more Photoshop skills than me will do far better. Another fine beard from Mr. Williams.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Hope he does some BF3 commercials as well.

 

[Dark Schala]

That beard is magnificent.

I like this commercial better than the US/Canada one. Their bonding made me smile. It was sweet.

Hahahahahaha! Brilliant. Exactly what was going through my mind while watching that.

 

[Urban Scholar]

....D'awww. His daughter is attractive.

 

[PataHikari]

Holy shit he looks so old.

Dude is 59.

He is old

 

[GDGF]

Dude is 59.

He is old

59 isn't that old. I figured he was older than that for some reason. I was thinking late 60's.

 

[legbone]

that seals it. gotta pick up zelda now and give it the ole poke and rub with the stylus. oh, i guess i'll buy the game too.

 

[Roto13]

That interview is adorable.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Loved it! Robin is my fav live-action actor!

That beard really depresses me as it makes him look so old (he's 59, he looks at least 10 years older), and losing Dom DeLuise (he was 75, looked WAY younger) was heart-shattering, losing Robin, I don't think I could take that.

Knowing your fav actors are getting old, man.

I know, look at Bill Murray

We seriously need to invent time travel so we can go and bring back 80s Bill Murray.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

She is fucking cuuuuute

 

[AZ Greg]

She uses Bose headphones? Ewww. /snob

I liked it, btw.

 

[maxxpower]

"He doesn't always play video games, but when he&#65279; does, he prefers The Legend of Zelda."

Lol youtube comments are always spot on.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Zelda Williams was named after Princess Zelda was named after Zelda Fitzgerald.

Seriously.

Yes. I know this. I don't know if there's a Zelda that predates Zelda Fitzgerald, or if she had a unique name.

Wikipedia:

Zelda is a nickname for the feminine name Griselda which means "dark battle".[citation needed]

 

[renitou]

Ok. You don't get it.

I want to punch your nose through your brain. Yick.

 

[Professor Beef]

Why are people still arguing with Sean after he already mentioned giving up and leaving?

 

[Femmeworth]

That was on the cheesy side but it put a smile on my face. Robin Williams is sporting quite a beard there. He really needs to do more voice acting.

 

[Grisby]

Great commercial,

 

[Flavius]

Anyone else feeling old as fuck because you remember back when word got out that Robin Williams had named his daughter after Zelda, like, shortly after her birth?

Just me???

Ugh...just fit me for an afghan, a rocking chair, and a dozen cats, please.

 

[Haunted]

(named after the princess!)

Understandable. Yeah, Zelda is that good.



also, Dudebro ain't got nothing on that beard.

 

[Haunted]

That is AMAZING
