On this day in 1986, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda in Japan. Happy birthday, Link. At last you are of legal age, cause after all this shit for that one damned Princess? You need a drink.

Also? You might need to be drinking to watch these old Nintendo ads for the original Zelda:

It has been brought to my attention that the second ad is for Zelda 3 and not the original Zelda. By Joe who says: “It says Super Fanicom which wasn’t out when the original Zelda came out” and “[It] has Link doing a spin attack which was introduced in Zelda 3″ Joe went on to admit “Oh god I’m a nerd sometimes”.
