Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I’ve purchased various Zelda games over the past few years. Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, Minish Cap, Link to the Past, and Link’s Awakening. I haven’t finished a single Zelda game. I know, I’m a horrible person for this, but I hope to make up for it. That’s why the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) found some old Zelda commercials for your viewing pleasure in this week’s Retro Wrap-Up.
