New Zelda Ad Stars Robin Williams and his Daughter Zelda

[Isalan]

I forsee a bright future for Mr Williams selling Worthers Originals with that beard.

OT: Bless em. Also, someone send this to the EA marketing department. They could do with a bit of inspiration. And sense.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Now THAT is an awesome commercial.

 

[Nemesis729]

<333 That's awesome lol, Also that's a ridiculously badass beard, anyone know if it's real?

I clicked this link cause I thought it was going to be some cheesey commercial. I was wrong. This is a very heartwarming commercial. This just proves that Robin Williams is one of the greatest men around.

Did The King from The Faces of Evil CDi game come to anyone elses mind when they read that title? I mean, seriously, the first thing that came to mind was "Mah boi! This peace is what all true warriors strive for!"
OT: Cute commercial by the way. Since when did Robin Williams have that epic beard?

 

[Chrono212]

He named his daughter Zelda?
Right...

Other than that, pretty good ad. Nice and personal which is what Nintendo likes to portray themselves as.

Is that sarcasm? Because it's a pretty well known fact that Robin Williams did indeed name his daughter Zelda.

He's done stand-up comedy routines about it (quite a while back), and mentioned it on numerous occasions over quite a long period of time.

I know it seems a bit suspicious in the context of an ad like this, but that implies the ad is a setup, when it's more accurate to say it's exploiting a well known thing about Robin William and his daughter.

If I was being sarcastic you'd know about it.
And I happen to be one of those plebs/luddites/hermits who don't know the names of celebrities children, abet their awesomeness.

"D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

What an epic beard...

...Zelda Williams is cute."

--My three thoughts during this ad.

 

[moose_man]

Not only is this rife with d'aww, it's also hilarious.

And he is ROCKING that beard.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Damn, that's almost a BLESSED beard. Nice work Mork. Nanu Nanu!

 

[Inkidu]

Whats even cooler is that she PLAYS video games, and her favorite LOZ game is Majora's Mask!

This. I love Robin Williams for his awesomeness. It's a really well-done advertisement.

 

[scorptatious]

Wow. I never knew Robin Williams was into The Legend of Zelda. Or that he named his daughter after Zelda. That's pretty damn awesome.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

Daww.

I wonder if this makes it ok to name my son(if I have kids) "Master Chief"

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

OH MY LORD

THAT BEARD...
IS GODLY!

 

[martin's a madman]

He was so brilliant in Good Will Hunting, such a great actor.

Adorable commercial.

 

[zeldagirl]

That was so incredibly sweet.

 

[Svenparty]

This was extremely disturbing: The way he talked about Zelda in a somewhat suggestive fashion before it was revealed to be his daughter has left a horrible bearded Robin Williams tumor on my brain. Surely I can't be the only one?

 

[dex-dex]

that was really cute.
actually earlier today my friend sent this video to me and my morning started with AWWWWW

 

[Sacman]

I'm sold... Damn you Nintendo marketing department for knowing my fondness of Robin Williams and tender family moments...

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Oh my god...

She just trolled /v/ big time...

 

[Vrach]

You've gotta love Robin Williams
