The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will hit store shelves around North America in just a few days--on June 19, to be exact (pre-order it here)--and the folks at Nintendo want everyone who's ever watched and enjoyed Mrs. Doubtfire to know about it. At least, that's the impression I had after watching the following commercial:
All kidding aside, I think the commercial is pretty darn cute. Sure, Robin Williams looks kind of like a hobo, but his obvious affection for both his daughter and The Legend of Zelda make it easy to overlook that fact.

THe commercial is great! His beard? Eek. And...dang. I thought it was in stores on the 18th.
ReplyDeleteAnother day won't kill me, I guess.
And wait...the commercial says the 17th. What gives?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I got the date from the Amazon listing, Justin. Wikipedia also says June 19 for NA, and June 17 for Europe.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize until now that the commercial is for the Euro version of the game, hence the reason it says it'll be available as of the 17th.
I'm guessing the ad will be aired in the US, too? It would be strange if it wasn't...
I love this ad so much <3
ReplyDeleteWith that beard he sort of looks like Zelda's dad. Which he is, I suppose!
Ah, that's an interesting comment, Cody! I wonder if it was a conscious decision, then, to make Robin bearded? Or, like I said on Twitter, maybe he's just making a movie or something. I much prefer the idea that it could be on purpose, though :)
ReplyDeleteSaw this earlier today. Too cute! I heard his daughter tweeted about being involved in some filming with Nintendo for a "secret project," I guess this was it!
ReplyDeleteThat has made my month, Robin Williams and Zelda:Ocarina of Time combined, it couldn't be better! ...unless I owned a 3DS.
ReplyDeleteWell, alright. I'm busy on the 18th, anyway.
ReplyDeleteYep, I think this was it, Anne! BTW, a longer version of the commercial can be seen here -- http://tinycartridge.com/post/6573897626/extended-commercial-interview-with-robin-and-zelda
ReplyDeleteAh, I hear you, DBD! I'm 3DS-free at the moment, too. Hopefully both of us will own one sooner rather than later :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to burst your bubble, Justin. Can't wait to hear what you think about it, though. It certainly looks good!
ReplyDeleteI think this ad is super amazing. Someday I will name my children Tingle and Ganondorf as a result.
ReplyDeleteHey there, Matt! I'm going to hold you to that -- especially Ganondorf :)
ReplyDeleteHaha it's on.
ReplyDeleteYes! You name your first kid (if you ever have one -- no pressure) Ganondorf and I'll name my first kid ... Peach. Oh, that should go over well with the husband :P
ReplyDeletelol
