Anyone who has ever seen this ad probably will remember it until they die. Anyone who hasn't, just try to follow this: A man dressed in black walks around a dimly-lit warehouse-looking area. He makes all sorts of stupid noises and poses, imitating (I guess) the enemies of the game. Other times, he's calling out "Zelda!!" as if he expects to find her in this dark Seattle warehouse. Interspersed within this are quick clips of game play.

All I can say is: despite this ad, Zelda became a monster hit for Nintendo. Somehow.
