Media: Robin Williams Zelda Commercial

Robin Williams appears in a new commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

In 1989 Robin Williams and his wife had a baby daughter that they named Zelda due to their love of the video game franchise. Now the 21 year old has appeared alongside her father in an advert promoting The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the Nintendo 3DS.

Robin Williams and his family have been big fans of the series since 1987, with Mr. Williams being particularly fond of the puzzle solving aspect: "My favourite part was solving the puzzles. I loved exploring every room to find secret passages and hidden objects. I vividly remember the sound the doors would make when they opened."

He states that the name is fitting for his daughter as both she and the Princess Zelda are magical and she seems fond of it too: "A lot of people tell me that it is the coolest name ever, I love the fact that I am named after a princess." She is also a big fan of the series as well and actually relates to the series because of more than just the name:

"I finished nearly all the Zelda games�my best memory of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was definitely playing with the bow and arrow. I was an archer at the time and still love archery so it was really fun to use it in the fantasy world. That and Epona... I also rode horses at the time, and I loved the idea of calling a horse with a musical instrument."

Update: Nintendo have now released an accompanying four-minute video feature with the pair discussing their emotions towards the game.
