Nintendo has released some rather unusual commercials in its time, but there's perhaps none stranger than one of the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Legend of Zelda ads, wh🍷ich stars a comedian in a dark cell, screaming out the name of the titular princess and many of the enemies in Link's path.

The ad itself stars American actor and comedian John Kassir, and according to꧙ Nintendo's former advertising manager and vice president of brand management, Gail Tilden, the final version wasn't exactly what the company had in mind, like, at all. Speaking at a panel at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo (via the , and spotted by ), she reveals that she initially thought "I can't go through [with] this" when faced with the reality﷽ of filming the ad.

"When the agency pitched that there would be a stand-up comedian doing something about 𓆏all the fun things in this game we all said yes," she explains. "So then I go to this shoot in Los Angeles, and it's this crazy guy in a padded cell, and I'm like, 'This, I can't go through [with] this, because this is not what we agreed to. This is not what we were expecting. We thought [it would be] a guy standing at a mic in a sp🐷otlight.'"

After some calls to the agency and the execs, the team was ultimately given the go-ahead, although Tilden ponders whether that's because "we were th꧂ere already." The result is a truly baffling watch that doesn't c💞apture the vibe of Zelda in the slightest.

The strange commercial shenanigans didn't end there though, because after that, another ad was filmed, this time featuring t☂wo teens loading up the game before spontaneously performing a rap that leads with the line, It's definitely an improvement on the John Kassir screaming experience, but Tilden rather honestly sums up the situation noting that she thinksﷺ "neither of them [are] very appealing."
