People needed more complex games (complex in regards to what was available at the time) than just playing Super Mario Bros. over and over again, I guess.

Plus, that says it was the second ad; maybe the first one was more straight-forward (and the two ran at the same time).

I so remember this commercial when it aired. I always thought it was weird even as a kid.

When I was a kid I never saw commercials for Zelda, everyone just knew it was one of the best titles.

I was attracted to the box art. I liked the design and the gold cartridge. Then the game itself turned out to be great.

No, it's John Kassir, who voiced The CryptKeeper in Tales from the Crypt. Jess Harnell is the voice of Wakko.

For some reason, I don't remember seeing ANY commercials on TV for any Zelda games, although I vividly remember the commercials for Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger, even though I played Zelda games way before I ever played RPGs.

The only one I remember for Zelda is that stupid "Dost thou hast the stones?" for either LttP or OoT.

that's what happened when you had corporations throw money at something they didn't understand
but there were no standards back then
the fact that a video game had a commercial in itself was incredible, even if it wasn't even related to the game at all
