If you are on this website, there is a good chance you were too young to remember 1986, or were not born then. So we here at Zelda Universe would like to educate the youth about Nintendo’s advertising for the original Zelda.
The commercial from 1986 for the NES (with the Legend of Zelda being shown as a great first party game), is a rap, because in the 80s, people would sit on their couch, read magazines, and then rap about it (well, that’s what happens in the commercial anyway). While many of us today would find this commercial quite comical, this was a serious advertisement in its time.

Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
