10 Best Gaming Marketing Campaigns Ever

Robin-Williams-G3AR Time for a mini list! MY TOP SEVEN MOST LOVED THINGS EVER. The Legend Of Zelda. A nice big pair of Chumbawumbas. The band Chumbawumba. Robin Williams. Eggs and Hideo Kojimas tweets of food. Now, you what happens when two from the MY TOP SEVEN MOST LOVED THINGS EVER list come together. I go weak at the knees, make a URRRGGHH noise, keel over and feel the need to take a cold shower. This is exactly what happened when Nintendo decided to go to the biggest LOZ fan they knew, Robin Williams, and his daughter Zelda Williams. Not only is the original 30 second advert touching, but it draws the viewer in from a nostalgia perspective too. Also Robin Williams has rocking beard.
