In the modern world where an advertisement can be skipped over with a click of a button, not a lot of people watch commercials anymore. Chalk it up to the evolution of media. But in the early days of video games, television commercials were exciting and full of the best kind of cheesy acting. YouTube channel Johnny SoCal has taken some of the best Zelda commercials and counted them down in an interesting top ten list. No game was off limits for consideration and the final list features commercials from the beginning of Zelda to modern re-releases.

Some notable examples include a commercial from Link’s Awakening from 1993 that features a catchy rap song, and a dramatic commercial from the release of Skyward Sword in 2011. Ah, nostalgia. Check out the video above for the full list of cheesy goodness.
