Link

He come to town

Come to save

The princess Zelda

Ganon took her away, now the children don't play

But they will, when Link saves the day

HALLELUJAH

Now Link

Fill up your hearts

So you can shoot

Your sword with power

And when you're feeling all down, the fairy will come around

So you'll be brave, and not a sissy coward

Now Link

Has saved the day

Put Ganon is his grave

So now Zelda is free, and now a hero shall be

Link

I think your name shall go down into history!

    Yeah, the old Napster/Limewire days were rife with people labeling any kind of parody or meme song as being written by Weird Al or SoaD. Probably because they had the name recognition and would actually show up in search results. And it was just plausible enough that they might make a song like this.

    Weird Al even went on the record to say that he absolutely hated the trend. Because a lot of the parody songs that were misattributed to him were very vulgar, and he historically avoided things like excess profanity so his music would be safe for kids.

    Also, I’m amazed OCRemix is still around. Pretty sure half of the music on my original iPod Shuffle came from that site.

    I tend to call that section of history the Contextless Era.

    A lot of folks got their music from P2P software, and a lot of stuff got mislabeled. There's a lot of people who to this day think Metallica recorded a heavy metal version of Carol of the Bell (Metallica has nothing to do with the Trans Siberian Orchestra), or that The End Of The World was made by Group X. ANY prank phone call recording was attributed to the Jerky Boys, ANY male stand-up comedian but especially Bill Engval was atribbuted to Jeff Foxworthy, and ANY comedy music especially parodies were attributed to Weird Al.

    Except for a recording of the Hyrule Overture with invented lyrics. That got attributed to System of a Down, entirely because of a resemblance to the lead singer's voice.

    And that's just what Limewire did to us. It's been said that the modern internet is just 5 websites full of screenshots of the other 4. Yeah, Newgrounds, Ebaumsworld, YTMND, to an extent the Something Awful Forums and a few others constantly outright stole each other's content. Just...re-uploaded the flash animations.

    With the OoT remake recently announced, and a 2nd remake being announced being unlikely, I'm hoping this at least announces TP on the GameCube VC.

    Is there a new Soul Calibur game that they can stick Link into again? That would be cool.

    There will also be a "normal" Direct the next day.

    Nice to finally see footage, but a rather disappointing Direct as usual. Maybe tomorrow's will be better.

    EDIT: It was not.

    Yeah, overall an "okay" Direct. Ocarina of Time remake looks great though!

    I was hoping for more of a re-imagining than just a graphical upgrade, but I'd pay $60 physical for it since I like the game so much. Hopefully Amazon will price it that way.

    I think it's nice that they have stuck as close to original as possible, but I skipped most of the demo and the trailer. Going to play it anyway, so decided to discover things while playing.

    BTW it's $60 digital, $70 physical officially. Don't know how Amazon price these things though.

    I would love to see an announcement fora Zelda 1 and/or Zelda 2 remake with the BOTW engine.

    Lemme guess: they’ll announce that soon we’ll have the privilege of spending $90 on a 30-year-old game they’ve rebuilt? So psyched.

    My guess is: some stuff about the movie, maybe a teaser or trailer. Some stuff about the OoT remake. Hopefully an announcement of Twilight Princess dropping for NSO. A couple other small Zelda things here and there, maybe some merch or amiibo or something like that. And maybe - just maybe - an announcement of "the next Legend of Zelda is in development for Switch 2."
