Yo man Robin Williams is old school. Ganon, not Ganondorf.

You mean Gannon.

 

[Teknoman]

She briefly mentions she was made fun of in school. I just feel it's creepy to do that to a child.

Well there are plenty of people in the world named Mario, Luigi, Ken, Ryu, etc. Dunno why she was made fun of since its a pretty normal name. Besides all those names existed way before the game characters.

EDIT: Isnt Link an actual name as well?

Robin Williams goes to /v/

That is Zelda Williams' Twitter and she says she never read v before...

Robin Williams goes to /v/

We have to get him away from there.

We need to get him a GAF account.

 

[-COOLIO-]

he looks like the king of red lions

 

[Big One]

Yeah but someone had to tell her about it

 

[Dystify]

Yeah but someone had to tell her about it

Someone probably tweeted to her to give a shout out.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter.

 

[makingmusic476]

Haha, that's an awesome commercial.

So I've been toying with the notion for some time of naming our first daughter Zelda (I've known about Robin Williams doing it for a while now).

My wife is warming up to the name, and I like its meaning (in Old German it means "Dark Battle" and a Finnish counterpart of the name means "Happiness").

And you know, if it's a boy, I wouldn't mind naming them Link. It feels unique but not too weird.

EDIT: And now I looked it up and it seems "Link" means "left hand" - NICE! (Not in terms of it making it a better name, but rather it's cool because Link is left-handed).

Don't play any Zelda games after Twilight Princess.

He's now Right Handed

I got a picture with Robin Williams at e3 2002 as he was walking quickly through the Nintendo booth with a bunch of convention center employees in suits. "Make it quick kid" is what he said-- he was NOT happy. To be fair I think he was in a rush to get somewhere, but I was star-struck so I had to ask. He has the angriest look on his face in the pic, haha.

 

[Nekrono]

Haha great ad, short but very expressive and straight to the point.

 

[crimzonflame]

So Zelda is the name of the princess?

 

[Bisnic]

So Zelda is the name of the princess?

It's obviously the elf with the green suit.

 

[The Elite]

So Zelda is the name of the princess?

Iknowrite. I thought I was playing as Zelda the entire time! Screw this. I guess Metroid is still the best female protaganist.

 

[flyinpiranha]

So she's now out on the scene, and he's using her as a career lift, and Nintendo are riding the wave?

That's what I got from that.

Hahahaha!

Oh man, that was good. You's crazy son.

[Jocchan]

Not being aired in the US? Why?

Somebody ask Reggie!

 

[davepoobond]

this is so stupid

 

[Hot Coldman]

I say we give her fistful's old account for $50

 

[AzureNightmare]

this is so stupid

This here is scientific proof that Dave has sold his soul to the devil. But you all probably already knew that since it happened so long ago.

 

[Seda]

Felt kinda awkward to me.

Still better than the US commercial.

 

[mileS]

He STOLE his daughter's name from Nintendo.

OMG! tell us more

 

[PigSpeakers]

Pazuzu.

Now you reminded me of that boss in FFMQ that I could never beat as a kid.

[JordanLMiller]

I really liked the commercial. Much better than noa's version...

 

[Meier]

Huh, I knew his daughter was Zelda but I'd heard she was NOT named after the game. That's awesome.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Thread title does not disappoint. That is one impressive beard.

 

[e_i]

Wow, Zelda Williams is pretty cute...but dat beard!

 

[Cheska]

That was adorable! Major bummer it's not being aired in NA

 

[RotBot]

Robin Williams was also a fan of Half-Life, Warcraft 3, and Battlefield 2 based on various interviews. At least he has good taste, unlike some other celebrities who only play dudebro games.

 

[Orayn]

Oh my God, that was fantastic. Can we have a Tom Hanks crossover ad next, pretty please?

Pics or it didn't happen

 

[DangerStepp]

What a warm-hearted commercial. Absolutely loved it!

 

[A Link to the Past]

I actually like this commercial.

 

[_Isaac]

Aw. That was actually pretty sweet.

 

[Kurtofan]

AWWW :3
That beard is awesome!

 

[Jerk]

Dat sexy beard...

Only if you played the ass-backwards Wii version.

 

[Jira]

Robin was actually going to do voice work for HL2, but due to conflicting schedules he was unable to.

I wonder what role he would have filled? I'm assuming it would have been Father Gregori.

 

[Big One]

Well the very first Link was also right-handed.

I guess Zelda has always sucked

 

[Jocchan]

I wonder what role he would have filled? I'm assuming it would have been Father Gregori.

He was supposed to voice Gordon Freeman, and they couldn't find a replacement

 

[GDGF]

We finally see it

That was a sweet commercial.

 

[Professor Beef]

God damn, I can picture it PERFECTLY.

He was supposed to voice Gordon Freeman, and they couldn't find a replacement

Boooo.

 

[Jocchan]

Interview added to the OP.

 

[crimzonflame]

OMG! tell us more

Makes sense considering Robin Williams is known for stealing jokes.

 

[markot]

^_^ pretty nice.

 

[bengraven]

It was actually really sweet. Some awkward moments, like "yes...Zelda?". The line about her being magical wasn't that weird to me, because that's how he mentions his family in interviews...also because she's hot.

 

[ToyBroker]

She's cute as hell.
