Nintendo probably wouldn't mind if we all forgot about these bonkers Legend of Zelda games ⚔️

[Jambobist]

"You've killed me!"

"Good!"

We have no choice but to stan.

[mattball]

Luke: "I swear to god Tingle, if you hurt him..."
Tinglellen: *Toots menacingly*

[someonescupoftea]

"Tingle-centric dating simulator, heavily themed around the wizard of Oz." The fact that sentence is clearly going to be today's high water mark is a sign of our deeply troubled times...

[coffeeaddict]

YES! They put in the line that literally caused me to hurt myself from laughing so hard.

"You killlled me!"
"Good!"

[johannvongenerico]

Phillips CD-i : fully animated cutscenes!
Literally everyone else in the world: no that's too much animation, less animated please

[akmalibrahim]

There is one Zelda game that Nintendo never wanted you to talk about: Doom

[mikk]

Fortunately, all of these games are considered "Non-GANON." XD
13:55 - You missed a "Gor-oin" pun there.

The fruit balloons are from Twilight Princess, from the flying stage (talk to the parrot as a wolf at the bottom of Lake Hylia).

[zulubunsen]

The "Excuuuse me, Princess!" line was inevitable to be included and it was done perfectly. I wouldn't have minded it a few more times even.

[naramurasaki]

Every time I hear the Wand of Gamelon's map music, I think of Game Grumps and the song they made up to match the beat. xD

[LeoN-dgto]

googles: "Terminator Link"

Luke: "did you mean Doom Guy Link?"

[rivierakid]

The existence of the Tingle games is an interesting case of cultural difference because Tingle was super popular in Japan, while in the west he's pretty universally hated, hence all of his games being Japan only

[seansteele]

"YOU KILLED ME!"
"Good."

[gamedifficulty_]

2:28 And if you happen to be deaf so are unfortunate enough to miss this brilliant dialogue, don’t worry as the king is fluent in sign language

[leonbrooke]

I think this is the first time I've seen gameplay from the Phillips CDI games, not just the horror cutscenes

[whereisspacebar]

Since Luke brought it up, I'd like to see a video about awful games with good soundtracks. It'll be fun, you can put all of the 3d sonic games on it.

[sagethestoned]

Thank you for this bit of delving into the lore of zelda, I love hearing about weird games no one else wants to!

Edit: 2:55
"you've killed MEEEE!"

"Good!"

Well, guess we know where Prudence got her inspiration

[SolusWhite]

Ahhh, Zelda the wand of gamalon... has amazing game villains such as Ganon
Ganon: "Oh Link! It's great to see you again! ...You must die."
And OST at the top of the charts with songs like...
"Looks like you've got a baby pen15~"

14:11 You don't remember hanging from a kargarok trying to pop the same fruit balloons in order to keep your multiplier? I do...
